So met some one, been out 4 times now. Been mostly single for years on and off, just used here and s couple of FB’s. How am I going to male this last or even work, do I end my fab fun? Been there before didn’t get past a month. Not sure I can do vanilla for long. Can’t really say ‘hey there’s this site, do ya wanna come on it’. Ffs it is gonna be the same as always. dilemma, what to do?

Hiya op

You could use the privacy settings and hide your profile, least then if things don't work out you haven't lost anything but if you really want a relationship then focus on that and maybe at a later stage when you've actually built a relationship discuss, remember if she not interested then id shut fab and fulfill your dreams with your future

I been here before and did just that, lasted just over a month last time. Always seems like the right thing but I just can’t seem to do vanilla any more.

Thanks for the advise

It depends on what is important to you.

The scene, my friends in the lifestyle and the clubs are a part of me so if I meet someone, I would let them know the beginning that this is part of who.I am.

If it didn't work for them, that's okay as I would be being true to myself.

Not everybody is here to stay though, some people will leave the lifestyle if they get into a vanilla relationship as that would complete them, in how they needed.

It all depends on you.

You keep mentioning vanilla , what aspect of swinging do you see as not vanilla ?

This woman might not be up for a 3 some or swapping of partners. But she might be into toys, restraints or roleplay etc which is a lot more fun.

It seems you are just waiting for this to fail.

You have choices

He up front with the person and see what their reaction is.

Try to make a go of things without swinging.

End the relationship now.

It's really up to you

I know a few left many came back. It is I guess a battle of doing the ‘right thing’ that you are ‘supposed’ to be doing. Every time for 6 years I try it just doesn’t work, I end up gettin a txt or something and well that’s that. I fuck it up. I have avoided clubs like the plague because in my head that is that, their would be no going back, been asked to go to them loads by singles, Couples etc But I have it in my head, that’s one rabbit hole too far. mad I know. I love the idea of a ‘normal’ relationship, christmas, birthdays etc but can not stick to the ‘normal’ things I should

If you don't want a girlfriend by your side on the scene, you can decide between leaving the scene, or leaving the girlfriend.

There is also an option of an open relationship, or ethical non-monogamy. I have an open relationship with my partner, we are as good as single when we're not together, and can meet whoever we want. When we are together, it looks and feels like a regular relationship, but we swing together, too- mostly by going to clubs.

If I were you, I would speak to other person as soon as possible, before either of you get too attached/invested, and explain your wants. You never know, she may be ok with that. And even if not, it's better to find out sooner rather than later.

I see this a lot on here, people want to have sex with others partners but with no intention of sharing their own which isn't really what the lifestyle is about. Sounds like you're not a swingers OP and just use the site for sex when you're in-between relationships so maybe it's time to choose what you actually want.

So you want a "vanilla" relationship with your new girlfriend and also threesomes and moresomes without her ?

We totally agree with the above. We came on here to swing with couples , like you have said there are so many who just want to join as a threesome ( probably with a partner at home unaware what's going on ) which in our eyes isn't what we are after.

Sorry I'm confused.

You want a girlfriend and a relationship and the mundane things

But you don't want the gf to become a swinger and you become a couple who swing

You want two separate boxes.

Mundane relationship in one

Single guy fab in another

????

The only way you get that is to:-

cheat on your gf

Agree between you that your relationship isn't monogamous (but risk that the gf may decide at any point in the future to have fun herself)

Only you know what is important to you

Not necessarily.

Do you view the women you have casual sex with differently to the ones you are in a longer term relationship with, do you think of them differently? Would you think less of a partner if she was seeing other men?

Why not find out if she has ever had threesomes etc, talk about the naughtiest things you’ve both done and if it seems she has been quite adventurous then tell her that you have been part of the swinging scene be truthful about it. She might be up for joining you.

So basically you want a relationship

Want to give up fab

But actually don't trust yourself to be able to

So would likely end up going behind her back

Or binning the relationship off (even if it was good)

There is a weird thing that we are attracted to like. I love the song "escape" because that is a couple who did not realise they liked the same things and could not express it. You might need to chat about things

Personally i see open relationships and FB relationships as being completely opposite rather than basically the same…a FB relationship is just about sex, there’s no emotional element to it, you don’t do ‘couple things’ like quiet nights in watching tv or going for meals at a restaurant or food shopping together….it’s just for satisfying sexual needs. Whereas an open relationship has all the couples things with an emotional connection, love, commitment etc but it’s not monogamous and you’re both aware that the other person is having sex with other people. It’s the same as, what society views as a normal relationship but without the monogamy.

There are very few similarities between a FB relationship and an open relationship that i can think of.

I’d be interested to know why you think they’re basically the same….

I was going to say that you don't have to choose - lots of people swing with partners or meet people for relationships on fab but if you want to swing apart from your partner who you want to be monogamous to you - can't help you! Why wouldn't you want to swing with a partner? Is it a possessiveness thing? Do you think women who swing are less valuable as partners than women who don't?

You said you can't stop yourself...you can, you don't want to. That's not a criticism it indicates that to me that although the idea of the 'norm' as you put it appeals to you, it isn't what you really want.

Good luck

"Or do you mean you don't want to swing with a partner?

Yep I think so, I see the two as very separate one emotional the other not at all just what I can’t seem to get away from. Selfish I know

I see this a lot on here, people want to have sex with others partners but with no intention of sharing their own which isn't really what the lifestyle is about. Sounds like you're not a swingers OP and just use the site for sex when you're in-between relationships so maybe it's time to choose what you actually want."

I agree. Sounds like you actually just want to have sex with lots of people but are not part of the true swinging community 🤔

You want what you want, there's no getting away from that.

You could have a full and frank conversation with this person and see what comes of it. Would you accept a completely open relationship where they had the same freedoms as you?

The open relationship is a idea, but in one way they are basically just fb’s already have them.

Not necessarily.

Do you view the women you have casual sex with differently to the ones you are in a longer term relationship with, do you think of them differently? Would you think less of a partner if she was seeing other men?

It isn’t about thinking differently of anyone. ait is wanting the ‘norm’ but not being satisfied with it. It’s a me thing

Yeah, I'm trying to find out why you feel that way.

What if *your* norm was

an open relationship?

when I say ‘norm’, I mean like what the people who maybe aren’t as highly sexed and kinky etc. It’s a battle I lost many a time trying to be that norm

Ok.

Hope you figure something out

So do I but don’t think I will. Been here too long now and the pull is strong, each time I think Im done with it I’ll get a message from one of the couples and with a drink especially can not stop myself, It feel more normal and right now. I kinda fight with that sometimes i guess, but thanks any way x"

Why do you date and treat women like that (potentially hurt feelings) if you know you can't separate from this, and are still on it? Very cruel.

It sounds like you should be looking for a partner on here.

Obviously very hard to find but you have the swinging stigma broke from the off as they're already on here so my advice is try the relationship, there's something there if you met up 4 times and see how that goes. Fab will always be here.

If it doesn't work out then be more selective with who you meet here and tell them what you're looking for and it could lead to something, you never know.

You've admitted you can't help yourself and keep coming back to the couples here.

If you've found time and time again that you can't settle down and hold a proper relationship with a woman, why keep trying?.

Couples on fab won't expect more from you or hope to change you and you won't end up hurting them.

If this new lady isn't interested in swinging (if you tell her) then you've possibly just wasted both hers and your own time.

OK, there seems to be confusion here. I haven’t continued to see anyone while active on here full stop. I have not seen anyone on here for months. That is only put forward by one person above. That person 100% wasn’t me.

If I decide that I’ll go out with someone that is mine and their business, same as the other way around gives. They may decide not to go further or I may. This gives me, nor them absolutely any hold or claims to anything. Acting like I or they said ‘let move in together’ or the like is pure fantasy, I have friends I see in certain ways like many. If they decide the don’t want to go around with me anymore that is again the exact same the other way around, no one offered any contacts on both sides, I’m not with people for a year it may be a month or two then they usually end, like Many, many people you know in everyday life. It is very odd that isn’t seen. What is said here is totally wrong and so far from the reality it is laughable to me. If I found what I want then I’d know what that was, like most people I’m looking, maybe it isn’t there who knows? unfortunately I have that is a me problem, and I don’t take kindly to people making up their own versions of what they think it all is, advise and thoughts are welcome but someone who hasn’t a clue pushing their opinion onto not only me, but others isn’t right at all.Like I’m some how finding these women and making the fall in love!! That is bananas. I guess it is just like you and the person above wouldn’t want me casting my opinion based on well not much at all onto you as a fact, and also putting it out their for others to take on!! Sure I don’t mind people having view but when it comes to making scenarios up to suit their own opinions, I draw the line and rightly so. As already said It is a me problem and that’s it, to just come along and make nonsense up isn’t on, in fact it is rude! Again I’ll be very clear NO ONE has been hurt that is a figment of imagination as if in some Mills and Boon book

OP, I am probably going to be another poster who gets a backlash from you, but your posts, particularly the last one, show how very little you understand about women. Let me summarise how I understand what is happening here.

You went out, with the same woman, 5 times now. Yes, you may not have said "let's move in together" or even "let's try being together". But just by the very fact you met the same person 5 times, 5 times you wanted to spend time with her, nobody else, it would, to her, mean you are interested. Some women would even be imagining spending the rest of their life with you, regardless of whatever you said. You know the saying "actions speak louder than words"? T

Women don't hear, or care much, for what you're saying or not saying. By your actions alone, you woke up the lady's hope of not ending all alone, with just cats (or other pets) for company. Granted, not every single woman is like that, but many are. Therefore, you'd be hurting her feelings (even if unintentionally) by crushing her hopes when/if you finally decide you cannot leave the lifestyle. As I said in my previous post, just speak to her, explain your lifestyle. You never know, she might be happy with you continuing with it and still having a relationship with her, should you wish so.
