I am a 51 year old male. Wife is 47. We both come from a fairly conservative backgrounds, more so for my wife. Our kids are grown so we are empty nesters. We are both fit, attractive and easy going. I have a desire to branch out beyond our conservative upbringing but my wife won't even consider it and the situation might even get ugly if I brought it up. We vacationed at Hedo II early this year and spent some time on the nude side but she would only take her bikini top off. She kept her bikinis bottoms on and I know she felt pretty uncomfortable the entire time with just being topless. What I need the opinion on is has any couples ever come to the marriage breaking point because one person wanted to get into siwinging and the other didn't? If this is something that I have decided I want to pursue I don't want to regret later in life that I didn't do it. But, on the other hand I feel I need to respect my wife's wishes as long as we are together. Sometimes I think I'm being selfish and maybe I should just accept things as they are and drop the issue all together. Then other times I think maybe my wife and I have developed different views on life and we both might be better compatable with someone else. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this situation and what were some of the outcomes. Any insight or opinions would be appreciated.
