Unsure how to proceed

[crazycouple425]

My husband and I have played with a couple on more than one occassion and I frequently participate in "dirty" chats with the other male. During our conversations he confided that he is really bi-curious and would love to explore that. His wife however knows nothing of this fantasy. He has asked me to locate another male to participate in a MMF experience. I have discussed the situation with my husband and he is okay with my participation, however; we are both uncomfortable with his lack of communication with his wife. I took the step of locating another party, but now am not sure I want to go forward with it. After all, if it were me, how would I feel. Any input appreciated!!!

You're right to be hesitant in this case. As has been said over and over on this board, communication is essential in the lifestyle. This guy NEEDS to talk about his bi urges with his wife before this goes any further. If he's not comfortable discussing this stuff with his wife, what else might he not be telling her . . . ?

Holy cowabunga, I could never imagine going as far as swinging and not telling my wife something like this.... I cant even imagine having a chat without her knowlege of everything, by reading the archives and catching up. I mean, I chat with women... I'm not very good... but it gets pretty hot sometimes.... Mrs fun knows every word spoken and even every pic shared.

Tell this guy.... Bi Bi, untill he speaks with his wife about this.... He is really putting you in a bad spot.

From your post it sounds like you're not considering your husband for the other male of the MMF and you've already contacted another male.

I took a look at your SLS profile and from reading it, I'm surprised you'd even consider this, based on what your profile says:

We are not into drama...Respect our feelings and boundaries and we will respect yours...Honesty is another must. Please be honest with us and we will be honest with you...we only play together.

You wrote your profile that way for good reasons, think about all of them and how important it is for you to reflect on them right now.

What you are considering would be disrespectful to the wife, lacks an honest approach to swinging, and voids communication with all parties involved. I think this is why you are having second thoughts.

I think you have come to your senses and I'm so glad you have.

LM, thanks for that. Your advice is so true and puts it into better perspective for me.

Yes - it's time for him to have a talk with his wife. We'll just bet if he does, it all comes out good.

I don't understand how anyone could enter into swinging and not feel comfortable talking to their SO about absolutely everything. For us this has torn down any communication barrier we ever had. There is not a single thing that either of us would not feel comfortable sharing with the other.

I would bet that he is scared she may not be into the idea him being with another man, or that she may be judgmental about it, but from what i understand this is a big fantasy for a lot of women.

No matter what he has to communicate his desires to his SO. If he can't do that then he has more serious problems to attend to.

I concur with the advise thus far, and yes its easy to get caught up in someone elses fantasy. However, the drama involved in such a reality is never part of the fantasy.

The part I am a bit curious about myself is, given the fact that they already play as a couple, and yet, they havent shared this fantasy together at any point?

In any case, its best to politely say no, unless he wants to sit down over a cup of coffee with you and his wife and discuss this further.. Might be interesting to hear that conversation, or at the very least what he says to that..

You can't make him talk to his wife, but you can talk to him and point out that he should and that you feel that him doing this without talking to her would be cheating and you don't feel that you can in good conscience be part of that.

I think you answered your own question.

If it was you, and your husband was going to go behind your back to search out a bi experience without including you, you know how you'd feel. That's how she's going to feel.
