Discussion
Let's make this very clear.
No matter how much you squirm, how clever you think you have been at covering your tracks, how proud you are in a years time that you have paid it all off and the Mrs doesn't know, she WILL find out.
And that's if she doesn't know already.
It is the way of life and you'd best face the music now. The longer it takes you to tell her the worse it will be.
Just get some backbone and do it. Once the wailing and gnashing of teeth has died down tell her what you are going to do about sorting it.
Oh and beg,
A lot.

Its the honest truth though, its the guilt that is doing my head in.
Still can't see why you cant approach your bank for a loan. It's a large amount, but not a huge amount, and you can spread the repayments....if you did it over 60 months, it would only be about £15 a week. I'm sure you can afford that?Infact here you are;

£2500 paid off over 5 years @ £60 a month.
And you keep your dignity instead of scrounging, unless this really is all a scam.

Aerofoil, really, have you looked at how easy it is to get 2.5k in credit at the moment? Whether it's by extending your overdraft, getting a 0% credit card, or even a personal loan, you could get the money really quickly and with £250/month it would be paid off in a year. You'll have to make sacrifices, of course, but that's the penalty for it. It really isn't as bad as you think it is. Yes it's crap, but it's emminently overcomeable.
Your wife may not need to know, but I personally would tell her. Be honest. It will only serve to act as a millstone around your neck, otherwise.
That's the sensible advice over and done with. Now, please, for the love of god, try and REMEMBER what you got for your £2.5k. You spent at, at least try and remember enjoying it.

In case no one has said it yet ....
NEVER NEVER NEVER TAKE CARDS INTO A STRIP CLUB !!!!
Which club was it ? It does take some effort to spend that amount on the dances ... I reckon you sat at the bar and LOVED the attention. That's when they usually start drinking champers at 300/bottle ... Seen it happen before

If the OP does decide to do that can I offer to pay £1 to hear an MP3 recording of the subsequent rollocking that he gets. Plus some pics if possible. Personally I would tell her......when your're about 70 years old.
I feel you, I once drunkenly created a £1,085 phone bill calling TV quiz shows when i got home from the pub, luckily the money I won paid for the interest but it didn't stop the guy at T-Mobile crying with me when I gave him my debit card number

Oh dear. Much like the evening in question, this thread isn't going according to plan, is it?
By the way, you do realise that if by some miracle you do manage to find enough people willing to bail you out then it is at that moment that it does become an interesting story, and one the redtops would probably consider worth investigating?
ed if you don't ,and ed if you do, frankly.
I'm with Lord Flash by the way. Count on a fiver from me if you prostitute your humiliation a little more.
Or, to put it another way: Dance, Monkey boy, Dance.

As I have said before, I'm never walking into a strip bar waving my own plastic.
Despite my anecdotes, I don't go all the time - perhaps once a month with clients, usually pretty tame to be honest, and not there for long. The unmitigated disasters I have told you about were from the nights when it has gone badly wrong due to the excessive drinking - and the bills for those nights were big. And thankfully, not mine to pay. That's the key. If you are paying yourself, take cash.
