What? If in fact that would be the case, there are major issues here that do not entail swinging...
I would hope the "dumping" issue would be a non-issue by the time a couple decides to venture down this path...jeeeeeze......
Yeah, you would hope so. Everyone does. But the reality is that those of us that "make it" are far, far fewer than those who try this path and end up divorced or split up over it...problem is, they're not here to post the downsides. I have seen them firsthand.

Strong couples can usually handle it. But very few couples are truly strong (and most are much weaker than they think). I know an awful lot of people who ended up on the wrong side of the Lifestyle, though they went in saying "it's no problem, we're perfectly comfortable with the idea..." and such. Do you really think it's impossible to lose someone in this--even a strong someone with whom you have a strong bond? It's not. Two of the people I know did just that: strong, confident, comfortable, with strong relationships and loving wives...now they are single males. Don't take anything for granted.
