If new and old partners are both from SH, or at least aware of it, then surely they know what you might have been up to so how much harm can your e-mails cause when sent to your new partner?
Sorry, that's a bit of a mouthful as far as sentence lengths are concerned!!!
Either way, trying to cause problems for an ex partner cannot be condoned so I hope they butt out and leave you to enjoy life.
Maybe you meant more to them than you thought you did?
Hope things sort out OK for you.
Personally I think this should have been said in PM or email not on an open forum, those who know you, know your ex partner surely, so naming names is not necessary to work out who it is your talking about.
Just my opinion, you did ask.
I think that if it's just a case of the previous partner writing to the new one and saying things like "Do you know he used fuck me" then I'd just let it go, because they obviously both know about each other so how much harm can it do.
But if the emails are abusive and rude then you need to let a Mod know so they can deal with it. Abusive emails are not right, regardless of what has happened between you two.
But I agree with littlemee, I wonder if you meant more to her than she meant to you and she's finding it hard to let you go.
Also, I have to ask, did you just unceremoniously dump her without talking to her? Or did you gently tell her that it was time for you to look elsewhere? If its the latter then good on you....if it's the former then I can understand her being very upset and you need to go and talk to her about it just to put things to rest.
Are we talking a relationship in the traditional sense of the word or swinging???
I'm not condonning what has happened, no ex partner swinging or otherwise should interfere in their ex's new relationship ( although it does happen sometimes, if bad feeling takes over), what I was saying was, that I didn't think it fair that although you said you weren't naming names, just by posting all this on the open forum, you have indeed 'named names' to those who know you and your ex.
Maybe it's just me.

Just a couple of questions I was asking myself as well
All if fair in love and war, Manofmuchfun!
You can't have your pie and eat it too.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
LOL
confused
I don't know the situation between you and your ex and the circumstances of your separation but I have been the dumped person (only once mind you!) and it hurt so bloody much, especially as he was telling lies to the new woman in his life about me. It was not small white lies but gross ones which painted me up as the evil one in our relationship.
So I found her advert and wrote to her - nothing much... just a short note that let her know that I was once in her shoes and she'd one day be in my shoes. He wanted to beat me up when he found out. He went out with her for about a year... using her, whilst involved with another woman at the same time. She did not know about the other woman. She thought she was unique and was planning to change her whole life to be with him.
In the end he dumped her. You see the novelty had worn off. And she had turned too much like me, too loving, too giving, too forgiving... I would have liked to speak to her now and ask her if she still felt my one and only message to her was ill meant. If she would have rather not been spared the heartache and the expenses.
I am not saying you are anything like my ex or that your ex swinging partner is anything like me. But we are human beings with feelings and when these feelings get ignored it is possible for one to act with their heart and not their brain.
And to end this lecture, one last piece of wisdom:
The clever fox does not shit where it eats. In other words, if you have a relationship with someone off here, don't go starting another relationship with a person from here as you leave yourself open.
I think foxylady got near to the matter. It sounds like you and your 'ex' had some sort of relationship, or perhaps either or both of you had not quite sorted out a swingers agreement. She is now pissed off at being 'dumped'. Unfortunately she is behaving like the woman scorned. You don't think this should be happening, because you believed things were as you wished.
Even with swinging there is some development in human relationships, and these can go unperceived and unnoticed until a critical point is reached. This may be what has happened to you both.
I personally think that what is private shoudl remin private and whilst I can understand what MOMF is trying to say if your new partner is unhappy and has asked for the pm's/emails to stop and they haven't then the other party should be reported to a Mod for harrassment.
Even if MOMF did let the old partner down badly (which there has been no evidence of) it is still not call for harrassment of another.
Bring a threeway relationship problem onto the boards is not helpful ~ act maturely and sort it out please.

Thats what I was trying to say too Calista
You were asking for peoples thoughts now you want to lock it...why?
In a non personal way then, i dont think any swinger has rights over another swingers life. For me its not a realtionship its about sex, end of story.
Thats the theory anyway
Quote by manofmuchfun
ok.......can a mod lock this please
it wasnt a personl question I was asking
I was getting at the point that as swingers things should not turn nasty ? ......I understand it from outside.......but not here .........was I wrong in my assumptions was what I was asking ?

Hon,
We are all adults and unfortunately despite the label adult it rarely happens ... being a swinger has nothing to do with emotional attachments. My ex should never have sprayed my car with acid but he did despite the years of crap I had put up with from him!
The problem I have with you puting this on the boards is that it drags other people into it. .. however frustrating your new partner may find these harrassment if you don't bite back then the perpetrator will give up and go away.

In an ideal world, nothing would turn nasty. But this is real life, manofmuchfun. And to live life, you have to sample the sweet bits with the sour bits.
Also you brought this subject out in the open - maybe you did not think before posting, but how do you think your ex feels about being outed?
Two wrongs don't make a right, do they?
I suggest you 3 get together and talk things over like civilised adults.

well let it run ........I didnt want this to turn personal......
Having read the posts it doesn't seem to have gone personal yet....but the fact is wether you locked it all not the "ex" will more than likely see this and you may have made matters worse for yourself and "new" partner.
Quote by manofmuchfun
I'm NOT being personal here.........I'm saying is it right for people to carry stupidity around with them or is it me ?

You are being personal and, as others have said, this sort of thing is better sorted out in private.
Quote by manofmuchfun
so are we ? or not ?........i'm not one for petty squabbles or telling tales, live an let live I say?.......but as swingers we should have more respect than that?.......

The previous quote openly referring to (presumably your previous partner's) stupidity does not give the impression that you have any respect for them - so it looks mutual. It does draw into question whether you ended that relationship with consideration and respect and, if not, are you reaping the harvest that you sowed.
That is not an opinion - it is an observation and a question.
Rules?
I assume you have set out rules with your new partner? Written them down? Both signed in front of witnesses that these rules are acceptable and non negotiable?
Swinging is all about sex you say... Hmmm, just sex? Is it just sex I wonder after you have met a person/couple for the 10th-20th time? You do not talk about personal things at all? You know nothing about each other's lives? You only meet, undress, shag, shower, dress and leave?
Quote by manofmuchfun
swinging is about sex.......and it should remain private...should it not ?......or shall we all say who we are shagging ?

But YOU have not kept things private! You have already identified your ex as a member of SH. It is not difficult for people to deduce who she is if they have been around a bit of time. What's worse is that people may assume she is local to you, search the members and assume it is a female who is totally innocent and then sideline her... and she would have no idea why people aren't talking to her any more!
As for you 'being sort of dumped' what does that mean? If you had been given your marching orders, this lady would have had no reason to contact your current partner. She would be glad to get you out of her/their life. There must be a reason why your ex has contacted your current. Read the mails and understand what went wrong. At least this way you won't find yourself in the same position in the future.
This is something you will now just have to live through and come out the other side a changed person. Because it will do something to you.
In some of the swing situations I have been in, the partners, couples and/or singles, found it easy at first to play it cool, However relationships deepened quite rapidly and it was obvious that the situation was more conventional. Getting out of those commitments was slightly prickly.
You say you was sorta dumped?.......being male sex once a fortnight was not enough....was this because you were complaining about that arrangement?....being a swinger and being single why do you have ex's to start with?....are you sure you are not getting too attached to this women and this is not what they are looking for.....its possible your "ex" is contacting the "new" one maybe just to compare notes or possibly be giving them advice about you?

Praise your golden mouth, Duncan!
Sooner or later, when one meets the same people for play, relationships do deepen and turn more conventional - that's life!
If you do your dirty washing in public and ask for opinions you must expect some of them to be contrary to your own.
My opinion would be that you shouldn’t have posted about this. It serves no purpose and in my opinion, is attention seeking. As is often the case when an attention seeking thread is started, and the views were not what were hoped for, you asked for it to be locked.
Sorry to sound harsh but you asked for opinions and that is what you have got.
Move onwards and upwards, deal with this matter privately, and enjoy the forum !
Dont sound like it owt to do with us lot
there are two main problems with this.....
1) if swinging is about discretion as much as anything then i wonder what is says about you by bringing it out on public forum......... i think that was wrong..
2) the danger with only hearing one side of the story is that people can paint a very rosy picture of the situation, while leaving out certain other bits.......i will not make judgements on a situation where i only know half a story.......

particularly as, rightly or wrongly, conclusions would be drawn as to exactly which member you're referring to. seem to remember a slight spat before, which would naturally lead me to draw certain conclusions, so yes MOMF you have made thias thread personal already.
neil x x x ;)
I don't think it serves any purpose making this public, surely this is a private matter and nothing to do with anyone on the forum (including mods!) apart from those concerned. As has already been said, it seems to be very indiscreet making this public, especially as both of the people concerned are SH members.
Thread locked.
I am unlocking this thread for a short while to allow one of the people involved to speak. The thread will then be locked again.
I'm sure MOMF is refering to me.
What he has failed to say is we were never an item or a couple.
Yes I know him and yes he introduced me to SH but apart from that we were just freinds no more.
I did post a few weeks ago that me and MOMF were NOT an item but he kept tying us together.
I hope this is an end to it.
