We were at non swinger friends' house for their son's birthday party. This couple has been our closest friends for almost 20 years. They went to high school with hubby, and our kids are now growing up together. The other couple there was my best friend from high school and his wife. These are the two couples that we spend time with more than anyone else.
We were sitting around talking when someone brought up another couple we know that apparently swings. They all started talking about how weird and disgusting it was that they would go out and sleep with someone else. My heart dropped. They weren't talking about us, because no one has any idea of what we've been up to, but it was like a slap in the face to hear them saying those things and the disgust in their voices
Hubby says we should just tell them and explain things, like the rules we have and what not, and if they can't accept that part of us then who cares.
I'm afraid it'll create a permanent weirdness because I feel they'll never accept that part of our lives, I don't want to lose my best friends!
Anyone else been in a similar situation? What do you think about telling them vs keeping our mouths shut? We hate hiding things, we are who we are....I don't know....
