So my wife and agreed to open up our relationship and is now thinking how to find someone. I've shown her fab and she said it scares her. She want to meet someone outside in a normal way, the fab world is all too crazy for her cause she's wanting a regular thing not a one night stand. How do we go about? BTW the going to clubs falls in the same category as fab for her. She's not making it easy for me.. hehe

Fab is a bit much for some, tbh it's put me off men for life.

Maybe see if there's some local socials it's just a normal night in a pub with a load of swingers that may ease her in, theres also no pressure to play. alternatively look at some poly type dating apps.

Organise a fab meet in secret then bump into them on a night out

If you read the forums for a while, you'll see that people rarely find someone long-term. It happens, but it's rare.

It seems that 95% of guys who believe they could handle a long-term arrangement are wrong - they're really looking either for something short-term, or a relationship.

And to be honest, the same is probably true of you, if your wife is as inexperienced as you say.

yep her words "men on fab seem so predetory" & she's only seen the site once. We're going to have to try something different. We've agreed do not mess with anyone at work it's too close and could get messy.

this has crossed my mind but then I feel it's not fair play.

I guess she doesn't want to be a piece of meat.

And wants the natural connection first.

It depends what you are looking for.

If polyamorous, then socialising is often the best way, meet open minded people.

Just be careful what you wish for, and have a LOT of talking beforehand.

What if someone falls in love?(fine in most poly) what if someone gets pregnant? what if someone brings home an STD? what are your boundaries?.

Sounds "boring" to do homework but you'll get a lot more fun and a lot less anguish.

(I went the disappointment and anguish route first time round )

ofcourse I won't do it. Like to say it's not 'open' if I don't tell her about a possible meet social or otherwise.

I’d try a different app like Feeld where she can swipe and see actual pictures of people. Feels less like a meat market like fab tbh.

What about a local fab social if you can find one. Not as 'in your face' as a club, just a night in the pub with like minded people where she can chat and get to know someone.

"She's not making it easy for me.. hehe"

OP, you need to listen to her really carefully. She probably doesn’t know what she wants and there’s often a bit of difference between agreeing to do something and finding the best way forward. Forgive me, but I’m glad she’s not making it ‘easy for you’ - it’s not her job to do so either and I suspect what she really needs is to know you’re right by her side every step of way. I promise you it works.

Forgive me but it sounds like your wife is a reluctant participant, showing interest to placate your needs rather than her own. You say she was scared when you showed her fab, was this her reaction to your profile or the site generally?

OP Have you shown her your profile? Did she spot you've been on here for over a year already? How honest are you willing to be; or is it all on a 'need to know' basis?

Do you really think this is something she wants or rather you'd like her to be interested so as to make things easier for you?

I could be totally wrong but from your responses and the thread in general I feel this may not work out as you expect/hope.

reaction to the site and vulgarity. She knows I have a profile on here. Yes she's reluctant but she's by no means going to do this for my pleasure. She's made it very clear that it'll all be on her terms and I'm not to be around when she's playing either. So she'll be playing solo.

she knows I have profile here for over a year. She is interested and I think she's still bit undecided and a bit nervous. I'll let her take her time.

you hit the nail on the head. She wanting bit of regular chemistry and not just the sex bit, which is the hard bit.

If nothings happened in a year I’d chalk it up as a no go.

She said her hormones are changing and she's feeling horny again. Went through few years of her not being bothered at all. Now we're having a lot more sex and she's wanting more ..

I would suggest going to a club as purely a "fact finding mission". If you know in advance that you're not going to let anything happen, but just talk to folk and watch what goes on, then it will seem a lot less scary.

You could also consider attending an organised social.

I’m astounded how such bullshit can lure people in for commentary! If OP’s wife or otherwise is interested in any kind of open/swinging relationship given he’s “on the hunt again”, I’ll eat his haggis and hers!

OP, instead of fantasising about what you’d like your wife to do/be, perhaps “opening” up your communication with her rather than day dreaming!

There are other Apps and websites that might be more appropriate, I’m not sure I’m allowed to list them here - but they enabled me to establish a long-term FwB that theoretically continues as a relationship, although distance currently curtails any physical activity..

Don't settle for what's easy, at the expense of what could be your priorities. Really focus on the foundations of this potential aspect of your relationship. Then pursue what could be the solutions, once you're more secure and certain.

You could include getting to know people as friends, where you could learn, gain ideas etc
