My husband just doesn’t GET it…
-
DedeJoy:No,thank god we arn't starving,lol. I plan to start saving $10 a month to fund my pole 🙂 It would be $720 if I just did ONE class a week at my studio,so my own pole is MUCH more afforadable. I'm even getting the cheapest pole (45" Lil Mynx Color/ powder coated). I just hope I can learn well on it :p
-
Koidragon: My husband would look at that and say:"No, we are buying you a real,safe pole." XD Maybe if I say that i'd make that since we can't get a real one yet?" Lol JK.
-
Ha! Perfect idea. Start making one, using old door hinges and gaffa tape. 😀
-
Ahahaha Koidragon!!! He would flip!

I got really lucky with this. My boyfriend is the one who recommended pole, got my a few lessons for Christmas and asks how each class goes knowing full well may spend an hour talking about it. He fully supported me buying a stage pole to set up outside some my ceilings are so low and even offered to give me money for it for my birthday. But he also knew that none of the money came out of my budget. Anytime I got a gift of money (gift from my dad, birthday, Christmas and I sold a few things) That’s the only money I used for it.

Day623:I agree fully. It would only be extra money i'd put towards it.

Before my first class I told my honey I was going to pole dancing. He didn’t like the sound of that. After that I started calling it pole fitness and told him I was taking private class and not doing stripper moves, then he warmed up to the idea. After my pictures of my first wrist sit and other stuff he started showing off my pictures to his friends. And at one point he told me as soon as we have some extra $ I can buy my pole 🙂

sassylina: He has always been okay with me going to classes and is always supportive when I tell him what i've learned. Maybe I should just stop talking about it so much to him ..XD
-
Just try safe up for it yourself 🙂 every time you have something extra to spent, put it aside and pass on eating out etc. maybe you can cut back on something like Starbucks or soda’s, something you spent $ on but not really need and then use the $ you save to buy a pole.
-
That's what I plan to do 🙂 Now I must pray bills allow for savings, haha.
-
And remember a girl got to dream big 🙂
-
AMEN sassylina!!!

My significant other was completely supportive of me going to my classes when I first started and he asked how it was each time I came home. It wasn't until ~2 months after I started that I was able to show him what I learned. He saw that it was a positive influence in my life and it generally made me a happier person.
We didn't have a pole at home at the time and I didn't find the perfect outdoor pole until we were on vacation. When I had the chance, I showed him the fireman and a few other spins. His jaw dropped since that exceeded his expectations of what I was learning in class. Three years later and I still remember his words: "I thought you were just learning to bump and grind on a pole". -_-
I thought that was funny since he had no idea what I was learning but still supported me regardless.
Maybe he just doesn't understand the purpose of having it or what you're learning in your classes. Hopefully he'll come around once he sees how passionate you are about this!
-
Ahhh he paid for me to to take a class tomorrow morning. Maybe just to shut me up, or maybe to support me, lol,but i'm in a class!! I think he will 'get' it once he sees me do moves at home.

Maybe he is saving money to buy you one as s surprise
