I'd swap all that for the ability to have 30 minute long orgasms....  
      I feel it necessary to make some distinctions here....
I know people who've come here to SH for some reason other than swinging...  and being quite open and honest that what they're looking for is a relationship.  That's fine, even if they get some way down that path and figure out that's not what they wanted after all.  As long they are open and honest in their dealings with others, then I see no problem with that.
I know people who've come here in the immediate aftermath of a relationship breakup and feel the need to "put themselves about a bit", to exorcise whatever demons are still hanging around in their emotional makeup.  And that's fine too, I'm sure everyone would wish these people the best of luck in finding what they need to move onwards.
I also know people here that are genuine swingers, and are here because this is the best place to meet other swingers, and they never pretend to be anything else.
And then of course there's the married / attached people who come here to "cheat" without their partner's knowledge, but that's been done to death lol
What is unforgiveable, either here or "in real life", is being dishonest about who you are, what you're after or your level of emotional commitment to a relationship.  Whether you want an engagement ring or the chance to get in someone's knickers it doesn't matter, that's deception plain and simple, and is unacceptable behaviour here, or in the real world for that matter.
This is what I think Corrie was getting at, and I agree with her 100%  
      Joe,
I know two people from SH who use wheelchairs and participate in the swinging scene with no problems other than the accessibility issues that Misschief mentioned.
One thing I have to say about the swinger community here is that it's, on the whole, sooooo much less judgemental most groups of people you'd meet outside the "scene".
All I can say is jump in, and fill yer boots !!!

      EdinBBW,
Ultimately, you need to be honest with yourself about what you're after in life, and how having your lover in your life could figure in those ambitions.  Your first priority is your well-being.
If you're happy to be his part-time lover and essentially live your life as a single woman the rest of the time, then yes, keep it going if that makes you happy.  As it's been going on for 4 years, you probably already know about the downsides.  There are people in this world who've lived like this for many years, and it is possible to live a perfectly fulfilled life this way.
On the other hand, I believe that people who can feel content and fulfilled in such circumstances are relatively few and far between.  You may be one of these, in which case be sure you make your decision with your eyes wide open, and good luck.  
For what it's worth, my suggestion would be to take some time out from seeing your lover, spend some time on your own, live as a single for a while.  This is what worked for me, many years ago, when I finally brought a three and a half year relationship with a married woman to a close.  I worked out that being with her was making me unhappy (even though we had the best of times when we were together) and I came out of it the other side a stronger and happier person.  Over 10 years later, she's still one of my best friends and I'm one of the first people she calls when she needs help and support, so I'm happy with the outcome, although we did go through some shit at the time.  
      Well blimey this leaving for a while thing is contagious.....
As Corrie said we're going our separate ways, and this makes me sadder than you can believe.  I haven't been on here for a few days as like Corrie, I too have decided I need to take some time out and sort out some issues I have in my life.  I hope to be back one day soon, as I've made a bunch of really good friends during my time here......
I must apologise to Clare and Steve for cancelling from the munch at such short notice.  Mixing a pissed off me with large quantities of alcohol can be a particularly bad idea, so given the circumstances, it was best I stayed at home.  
Besides, while you lot were all getting ready for a night of debauchery, I was holding my new baby nephew for the first time, which really put a whole bunch of stuff into perspective for me.
So take care, all you horny people, and I hope to see you all again one day soon....
