"Good luck to anyone who I've met who is now in a relationship. It's weird isn't it? Because when you are seeing someone and they are saying things to you and vice versa you become a bit blindsided by it all. Then you realise whilst the sex might have been pretty good, the rest of it was a bit toxic and the person you were then and for a while after wasn't very nice. So, like I said. Good luck to you I'm happy, it is all anyone should ever be. " Yeah totally.. maybe easier to see after a short break and a step back. Funny how some get really hung up on it though.. | |||

"Absolutely I’m a possessive bitch....... if I’ve been there no one else can (even if it’s only ever been in my head). This is a swinging site why would I think any differently??? Ps any new potential meat please don’t be scared off with my erratic beliefs "Was that supposed to be 'meat'?

"I used to see a guy on here whose got himself loved up. He was a perfect catch. I dont really know his girlfriend but what i know of her they are well suited. Couldnt be happier but then its different for me as the last thing i want or are able to is get in a relationship with someone else" Maybe that does help if you're not looking for a relationship.. it's nice that you're happy for others though! | |||

"I wouldn’t care, if we were still in contact I’d be happy for them. Otherwise, wouldn’t care. I’ve only met one single man anyway, the other two were married/in a relationship " Maybe helps that you have your hubby already too so they're always secondary to your relationship.. | |||

"It would depend on the person in question and my feelings (or otherwise) towards them. It's natural to have more of a connection/fondness for some over others" Very much so.. and we've all met those we've connected with much more than others.. | |||

"I'm not bothered either way, I'm not here looking for a relationship so I'm not going to cry into my pillow thinking why didn't he pick me!! If we were having awesome sex and he decided to not see me anymore I'd be a bit jarred off. You should be able to have your cake and eat it imo." Ha ha love that! | |||

"No it doesn't. Actually it would bother me a bit if our dynamic completely changed - I think that sometimes when people enter relationships they completely drop friendships only to pick them up again once broken up. I'm normally very happy for my friends (as long as the other person isn't a complete fucktard who fucks them about). Actually. There's one person I might be a *bit* . But generally I get very excited when people I like couple up."Yeah it's crappy when people ditch their mates.. I've no danger of that when one lives so bloody close.. I see her way more than him anyway! It's weird when dynamics change on here when people couple up.. like it upsets the balance.. | |||

"Depends. If the person they've got with is ace then I cheer them on from the sidelines and want to be chief bridesmaid. If they've got with someone I don't like or consider "bad news" then it's different. They'll make their mistakes and I'll be there when it goes tits up. If it doesn't go tits up then fair play and I was wrong P" Were people happy for you when you coupled up or did you have anyone grouchy it wasn't them? | |||

I've had several of the guys I've met across the years get relationships... to be fair a few asked me and I made it clear I won't go there.. and was so happy for them when they found someone.

"I don't mind anybody I've met and shared intimacy with coupling up, as long as I'm not made to feel humiliated or as long as they are honest. My swinging life journey has had it's ups and downs and I'd be a liar to say when I've had an amazing experience, and then can't have that again, I haven't felt pangs of envy. I suppose it's like trying to get off drugs when you fancy the arse off somebody and there was a connection, the craving part of the mind takes time to shrug off? I once kissed a man for the entire duration of an album by Sade and remember it still as one of the sexiest experiences ever. He coupled up, but it still remains so deliciously etched in my memory." Totally get that.. the more intimate the meet the harder it's going to be to put that in a box.. completely natural! | |||

"No I'd be happy for them. Fab is a place for making friends and I want my friends to be happy. I might be a bit put out if they no longer talked to me but again, I'm not one to chase people so if I didn't hear from them then I would just move on. I had a friend who was so jealous they couldn't even bear to hear I'd met some else in the fab sense nevermind when I did get into a relationship. I think there are people who get a bit possessive and I'm not sure that's healthy in a swinging environment. " Oh lord! That's a bit weird.. suppose it depends if people are proper swingers or not too.. I'm rubbish.. always have been. It's always been more kink than swing so I guess I'm used to only being one on one with someone.. | |||

"This has happened to me twice, both with ling term friends from Fab. For me, that was the point. As well as FB’s we had become friends. Whilst I was sad to lose them as friends (and as FBs), I knew where they were at in life abd was really pleased for them. All on good terms, said I would be there as a friend if needed in future... but not an FB!" It's good you both communicated what you wanted so you could still be friends.. i think many don't, which leads to heartache. | |||

"Interesting topic. Whilst I have close friendships with some of the people I meet and have feelings for one or two of them, I don’t know that I would want them to be more than that. I’m not looking for a relationship but there are times when it would be nice to have someone there for cuddles and some support after a bad day. I’m happy for friends who find love. We all deserve to be happy in our own way. " Be happy for your friends. And, yes, there are times when we could all do with a cuddle after a hard day. | |||

"Almost all of my previously regular friends have met and coupled up with someone else. I miss them and it does leave a gap. For some I wonder what it is about me that I am never the person that anyone wants to be with in that way. Then I remind myself that it's special to find someone you feel that emotionally attracted to and I am happy for them. Mine haven't really been played out on the forum. The forum people I have met usually come with their partner's approval so wouldn't be anyone I would attempt or expect to couple with. Some of the forum relationships have been spectacular to watch - the good, the bad and the downright ugly - especially where they haven't worked out the rules of engagement. " Wisper me the rules.... | |||

"Has happened to me and I honestly couldn't be happier for them - it's something you accept may happen in this world and let's face it it's should be no surprise that people do couple up when they have been intimate with each other and found that they're compatible in that way. In fact, to take this off at a slight tangent it was something I was musing on earlier - does the fact you met someone through a site like this, where you're open and honest about sexual preferences and know what makes each other tick sexually make for a potentially stronger relationship? In vanilla dating you're usually in the relationship before you start to open up about sexual interests, and as is often seen here from people either looking to play away, or coming from a failed relationship, one of the failings appears to be sexual compatibility. Here you generally find that bit out up front, to an extent, before entering into a relationship, so unless something changes down the line, logic suggests it shouldn't be such an issue. Know that is a simplistic view, and there are many other reasons relationships fail, but purely from a sexual compatibility standpoint it makes sense." | |||

"I think the problem is when two forumites get together and openly and regularly display their "undying love" for one another in a public forum is it can get a bit saccharine sweet at times and people do start to ignore it or in ruder instances roll their eyes or pass remark - not out of any sense of jealousy or even wishing that "couple" bad things - more out of a sense of cynicism because it's been done a number of times before and is often quite fleeting so today's "undying love" becomes tomorrow's "want to scratch each other's eyes out". Not saying that will be the case with any of the current crop, and personally if they're happy, then I am happy for them but sometimes there needs to be awareness that it can be more than a little gushy and sickly when it's a constant - it's probably heightened by the fact that just lately there have been a number of "coupling ups" all of whom are celebrating it quite loudly across various threads. Again nothing wrong with that per se - but as _ea monkey said if you're going to go public then you have to accept public criticism as well as acclaim. There are a number of "Fab couples" I can think of who aren't quite as vocal and just go about their Fab business without the need to shout their love from the rooftops in quite the same way. Calling others views an irrelevance probably doesn't help either - like I said if you're going to go public then people's views of that public behaviour are to an extent relevant in that they are entitled to express an opinion of something being played out in front of them." Yeah totally get that.. and we are both right sarcastic buggers so expect nothing less.. think the difference is that it's not generalised piss taking it's much more spiteful and underhand comments being used. Forums should be more face value and open.. end of the day it's supposed to be fun and we laugh a lot on here..but some take them far too seriously and dull the mood for everyone. | |||

"I think the problem is when two forumites get together and openly and regularly display their "undying love" for one another in a public forum is it can get a bit saccharine sweet at times and people do start to ignore it or in ruder instances roll their eyes or pass remark - not out of any sense of jealousy or even wishing that "couple" bad things - more out of a sense of cynicism because it's been done a number of times before and is often quite fleeting so today's "undying love" becomes tomorrow's "want to scratch each other's eyes out". Not saying that will be the case with any of the current crop, and personally if they're happy, then I am happy for them but sometimes there needs to be awareness that it can be more than a little gushy and sickly when it's a constant - it's probably heightened by the fact that just lately there have been a number of "coupling ups" all of whom are celebrating it quite loudly across various threads. Again nothing wrong with that per se - but as _ea monkey said if you're going to go public then you have to accept public criticism as well as acclaim. There are a number of "Fab couples" I can think of who aren't quite as vocal and just go about their Fab business without the need to shout their love from the rooftops in quite the same way. Calling others views an irrelevance probably doesn't help either - like I said if you're going to go public then people's views of that public behaviour are to an extent relevant in that they are entitled to express an opinion of something being played out in front of them." | |||

"Depends Unless she has a different username at some point I’m totally oblivious to who TL is, because I don’t spend all day on here wondering who’s with who and being miffed like some. Really isn’t anyone else’s business unless of course you start threads which invite comments....then you can’t complain..
Yes, there is that. The more public you make something, the more 'the public' take ownership of it. Its one thing to be a couple, it's a whole other to invite comment and to have others invested in your business. Sadly, we've all seen how that ends
Or we could just do what we like and what suits us and then log off if we don't like it here. Neither of us is here for what ppl think of us, rather what we think of others and the experience it brings
Real world will always take priority over this place.....
I wasn't talking about yourselves but in general terms.
I agree that doing what you want is a good way to be, however, I think it's also true that certain behaviours will invite other behaviours in turn. Many people seem to forget the old adage; "you reap what you sow"
It depends I guess on whether said couple give many shits what behaviour they "invite" from irrelevant others and how it balances with the joys and freedom of being yourself and ripping up the "rules" imposed by said irrelevants.....
We're happy, I think most couples here seem similarly happy and I see a lot of not so happy folks telling the happy folks how to behave, perhaps in an attempt to level the happiness, who knows?
I hope the happiness spreads and grows and infects those who need it most "Just because people aren’t all embracing doesn’t mean they’re unhappy, possibly as GM has mentioned they’ve seen it all play out in the forums before. Doesn’t really matter what you make public on here, the majority of threads attract positive & negative comments from friends & those irrelevant foes. | |||

It is what it is innit! I seriously doubt there's much conscious choice involved in a genuine relationship, shit just happens for the good of it.... Again you're talking about someone else's rules, not our rules, and the "irrelevants" are thankfully few and far between and nobody in this thread need be offended since all contributions have been relevant and valued. Personally I don't make any effort "go public" with our situation, maybe public went us, fuck knows, I like a quiet life but I'm fucked if I'll ever hide or not be me to please people who don't know us but think they do, that would be utter madness! We can both take care of ourselves in a forum and in real life. Thanks for your input though | |||

"On a serious note. I’m quite envious of the couples on here. I’d love a partner in crime to shag senseless and push boundaries. Show me off in clubs. I think it’s really hard to find that special someone on a site like this. So if you have that’s amazing!! "Well find you someone soon my lovely
Or maybe you'll find one next week with your twentysix bikinis..... | |||
