Default Re: Poly vs swinging

We value friendships, we just value our family more. I enjoyed the evening I had last night more than going out to the club which is what I did. I spent the evening going to the movies with my daughter.

We're not "busy" 100% of the time. But our time is our time and we can do what we want with it. In different parts of your life different things are priority. We had several good years of swinging. Hopefully that will come back soon. I could give you the reasons we don't go out all the time or have friends running thru our house, but that would take too long and is not that important to us.

If our personalities were made for a poly relationship then we would probably be looking or have one. It's just not us.

A great example of why it is hard to keep up a friendship.

I can count the number of real "friends" on one hand that I've had in my life. I don't keep up with them either and still know where a couple of them are at. One of my boys is named after one of them. It's just life for some of us to be this way.

And what have you done to try and keep up the friendships? Seems like a valid question.
