The thing that I value most is honesty, yet here I am being dishonest to my other half!
I haven’t lied to him nor have I cheated ( and don’t intend to) but what I haven’t done is told him about this account!
Why?
I can’t talk to him, and when I do he makes a joke about how I feel or thinks he knows what I’m thinking/feeling (jumping to the wrong conclusion of what I am trying to put across).
If I tell him why I’ve done this he’l assume I want to meet people on my own and I don’t, we are a couple and play as a couple!
It’s no good trying to explain things to him once his mind is made up as he has an answer for everything and it’s very frustrating.
Don’t get me wrong though, I love him to bits but I am feeling very frustrated right now. Not sexually but mentally.
There are so many things I want to try, so many things I want to experience (not all to do with swinging) some of which he doesn’t want to even discuss.
Ok I’m fine with that, I’m sure there has been times when he’s suggested something and I wont even entertain the idea, part of a good relationship is a bit of give and take, make compromises etc.
At the moment I feel that this relationship is very one sided side
I feel that I have no control over my life, which being a person who has been fiercely independent all her adult life, is terrifying.
I have so many questions running round my head and no one who I can talk to, hence this account. All I want from it is a chance to express myself anonymously, a chance to explore the real me inside without any jokes or come backs from him.
So that’s why I’m here, don’t be too harsh on me as we all have our own reasons for doing things. I (we) have made some very good friends off this site and for me I know that the answers to my questions lie within the forum walls.

Hi Emily
Don't worry about people being harsh. Most people on here are very undeerstanding and helpful. You won't be judged in any way
I hope you get some answers and some piece of mind on here.
you say you have freinds on here,so you must have at least spoke about the scene if he indicated he aint interested....as a couple thats it over and done,if you feel you dont have control over your own life what you expect will happen if you both do start to swing,do you think you will have the same interests ,you know some of your freinds are swingers so must have come up in convo ,then did you go home and speak about,you aint really told us much about this part.i think in your life you have other issues to sort out before you even think about the only person to give you answers is your hubby before asking anything about the scene ,then there will be plenty of advice people in here can give.
Hey Welcome. And i should imagine your situation is far from unique - If you get the opportunity to drag the bloke in your life to 'marriage counselling' then please give it ago.
It may sound odd being Swingers etc but as long as you are honest and upfront then a counsillor will be non judgemental. I might sound all right on and with the fashion saying this, but in instances like this counselling can be be of untold benefit. Hey what have you got to lose by trying!?
Thank you for your kind responses.
Missy you hit the nail on the head when you said I was walking on eggshells! I'm like that constantly, or it feels like it.
Good idea re: writting a letter, I'm not very good at putting my thoughts /emotions across verbally so that just might be the answer.
I did write a letter, and he has read it....but not before having a go at me about something irrelevant ( which seems to be the norm just lately) anyway...he told me once again to fook off............si i did!
We've spoken since, which is like talking to Dr Jekell and Mr Hyde....dont know which one he'l be next.
He wants to sort things out.....is it too little too late?
I just dont know any more :cry:
Sorry frecklebird......wasn't really asking a question, just thinking out loud.....
I already know the answer in my heart of hearts but it doesn't make it any easier.
