Thanks for peoples' replies - I feel I understand a bit better now.
I think that at some point maybe that honour and doing the 'right thing' should come into play.
I know and understand that love can be cruel and that it may strike a person who least expects it or wants it. However, in the Swinging fraternity/sorority surely one of the reasons we swing is that it is detached from the emotion sociosexual accepted practice. The participants should always at every point expect the NSA part of Swinging.
Honour should be enough to result in the person falling 'in love' with another in the equation to think step back and f*ck off out of it. Anything else is possibly just plain nasty crappy life destroying bollox. it may be that there are fundamental problems underlying in the other members involved, thats nothing to do with anyone but those involved, it is a matter of honour and the right thing for the 'extra(s)' in the relationship to go sling their hook.
We could also mention that if we are talking about a single person involved with a couple. There is the idea of course that still hangs over defining swingers as being specific to couples not singles. Singles being the just the tool (no pun intended) to facilitate the couple swing. Thats an age old arguement though.
My advice to anyone out there finding themselves in the position of getting emotionally attached with a couple who swing is DONT. If you do your just being a bastard. It aint right or fair on them.
The first "Heebie Jeebies" was a banjo specialty written and recorded by Harry Reser in early 1925.
The second "Heebie Jeebies" was written by Boyd Atkins and achieved fame when it was recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1926. The recording on Okeh Records by Louis Armstrong & His Hot Five includes a famous chorus of scat :shock: singing(and there was I thinking his singing wasn't so bad)

Called the heebie jeebies,
Yes, ma'am!
Mama's got to do the heebie jeebies dance!

I think it's possible to become too fond of someone the same way as you can in the vanilla world. It's just as easy to meet someone you feel instantly connected to in this environment as in other situations.
As someone said earlier, you can't help who you fall for. It's a danger of meeting with someone regularly, you're bound to develop feelings with someone eventually.
