Ok I read the entire thread (Just like me to go arse about face!) and I shall recify a couple of statements. Tigris has only made four posts, this is not enough for me to accuse him/her of ignorance in my opinion. My reply was in response to some of the strong reactions from others here (which is fine, we all feel very strongly about this, which is as it should be) I made an assumption; but in hindsight Tigris had apologised for coming across in a less than friendly way, and has communicated a desire to understand the lifestyle. I for one would be interested in hearing more from Tigris given the well thought out answers to his/her misgivings about this lifestyle.
I`d also like to answer the query about if, say, Mars decided he wasn`t comfortable with swinging. I would of course stop for it is his feeling which is paramount to me, but at the same time I would also have to explore with him what I would see as a step backward in our relationship. Mars allows me to swing because he recognises and understands my libido enough too want me to experiance it`s aspects fully, and I wish the same for him, we both wish to be a part of each others experiances. If he were to start feeling threatened or uncomfortable with this in anyway, I would have to question why, as my libido would remain the same, and I would worry that we had lost something if he didn`t want to offer me this gift. We could explore this without it becoming a pressure. In fact exploring the hidden or new aspects of our characters which crop up now and again, together, as a couple is one of those things which only serve to enrich our marraige further. If the issue couldn`t be resolved in the favour of swinging, then no matter, for as I said earlier, there is much more to our relationship than what we decide to get up to sexually.
Damn I`m feeling profound tonight :shock:
So, who wants a shag?! :mrgreen:

Neil! You can pack that in right now! I distinctly counted four syllables in one of those words (cos I can do four). Getting ideas above our station are we?! Don`t make me come up there and put you back in your box!
*taps foot*

I did all mine........all except PiercedJon :twisted:
You can run, but you can`t hide...............:mrgreen:

Oh I can type up a CV for him, he has oodles of experiance in crap jobs........at this point I think he`s so ground down he doesn`t know what he wants to do! A job which offers more than 10k a year, proper sick pay and more than 4 chosen days a year holiday would be nice for a start!

Mars` needs to change his job, before it kills him. I need a job before he kills me!
I`m looking at taking a nursing diploma as it`s a supportive route towards what I want to do which has some monetary benefits, Mars needs something similar (a secure government job maybe?), he`s sick of working in jobs noone else wants because he has no qualifications. I`d have him stay at home with the kids because he`s better at it than me, but my income won`t allow for that, but I don`t want to see him end up in a dead end full/partime job. Neither can we afford for him to take the time out of work to get an education. At this point completely new ideas would be welcome, we need to turn things around.
Anyone have any ideas of career opportunities which offer training and pay, similar to the route I`m taking? He has no exam passes, he`s a blank slate!
Yup, guess who`s sick to death of researching this in 16 colour res?

Alternatively you could try sticking something in Clare`s mouth :twisted:

Don`t worry Neil, I have a slipper with Sarge`s name on it. It`s a big bugger too :twisted:
I have ways of dealing with these upstarts.

Ack Steve, from someone who is married to a guy who not only doesn`t post a great deal, but also has to attend 4 munches, spend a couple of weekends with friends, and meet up with regulars at the SMB before he relaxes with people well enough for them to get an idea of the person...............I`d say you really don`t have a great deal to worry about. Some things take a little longer with some than they do others, eventually most of us get there in the end!
