"Ive asked him and he said he doesnt feel that hes enough for me .......we have good sex so cant get him to see that i dont do this because hes not enough i do it cause i enjoy it" What he's saying is he wants to stop swinging. Its something you need to sit down and discuss. Not put on the forum. All the different perspectives will just add to the conflict. | |||

" This... anyone no matter how long they have been swinging can feel insecure and once its there it is the worst feeling. It might be simple to you but obviously he ia feeling awful... concentrate on it together.. swinging is an extra... so sort the insecurities first | |||

If you love sex, why not just him? And loving swinging - well that's circular. You could try to express what it is you don't get from him that you get from swinging - concentrating on those things that don't imply any lack from him, but show how your nature (maybe human nature) is such that there is always some desire that can't be quenched by a regular partner. (See 'Mating in Captivity' by Esther Perel.) Maybe with the right words and actions, you can make him feel special and still swing. (Or maybe others are right, and you'll need to have a break.) | |||

"I do hope that you're going to step back from swinging and focus on your marriage. Your husband isn't happy. Surely that needs to be your priority. You need to stop swinging, sit down and talk, and go from there." Exactly this. | |||

"Op your hubby isnt happy and you need to sit down and address why that is. Do you both only swing as individuals if do why? (Maybe this is the problem). Perhaps if you were swinging as a couple he wouldnt feel so insecure just a thought. The main thing is this should be discussed with hubby and not through questining other members and looking for back up to support your needs. " Completely agree. | |||

"I have heard people say that when a couple start swinging its usually the male half that is the driving force behind the swinging activities. After a few months years of living the lifestyle the roles tend to flip and as the ladies confidence starts to grow they take a more active role and sometimes even control over organising things. It is not too inconceivable that under those circumstances the male part of the couple might start to feel insecure about their partners new attitude to swinging and become a little insecure about it. I wonder if thats part of what could be happening here. I could also be talking absolute bollocks aswell Either way nothing is more important than your relationship. Take a break, reconnect with him, reassure him that you value him and your marriage over everything else and see what happens. It doesn't have to mean an end to swinging, it could just be that a short break will get you both back on track. Good luck OP." Sensible advice. | |||

"So after prob 8 years of us swinging and meeting tvs men and women together and seperatly ....hubby and i have had a right row and he said why do i want to do this and why wasnt he enough...why do i feel the need to go elsewhere for sex. he has done it too but is now saying that he just does it for me. so the question im asking is why do people do it? My answer was because it makes me feel good i love sex and variety but apparently thats not a good enough answer .....arggghhhhhhhhh" Look on the bright side. After shagging tons of women, he feels like YOU'RE the only one he needs? I know how that would make ME feel... | |||

He's insecure about your relationship for reasons none of us can know. He's the one you should be talking to not us. You're not only seeking sex with other people but discussing your relationship outside of your marriage he's probably sensing emotional detachment on your part too. Step away from fab and concentrate on your relationship. | |||

"Your priorities appear to be a little awry, unless your marriage is less important than swinging." There's nothing wrong with prioritising swinging over your marriage if swinging brings you more joy. | |||

Unless, of course, you discover through the course of swinging that you are just not a monogamous person. In that case, your lifestyle will be fundamentally incompatible with your monogamous partner. My multiple partner lifestyle is more important than any of my sexual partners. If one of them told me to go monogamous, I'd just let them head off their own way and do their own thing. And that's ok. Relationships can end amicably if you both start to have different desires in life. People are allowed to go their own separate ways. You shouldn't be a slave to a promise and a contract. Nobody should put a promise and a contract above their own happiness. | |||

"In my opinion, and this is only my opinion. You both need to talk this through as a couple. Even if that is by means of arguing, at least it's communication. Swinging is as complicated for couples as it is for singles, in fact, probably more so. Boundaries get broken in the thrill of the moment. Sometimes the OH gets left out, which is a devastating, demoralising, painful situation. Hammer out what you both want from the game now. Why not close your singles accounts. Take time out to concentrate on each other. Then possibly, meet people together through your couples account, presuming you have one, I don't know that of course. Take care and I hope you both find your happiness together. Xxxxx Suzi " | |||

Ive been feeling it because the subject of playing seperately has been discussed... but even though because I am unhappy about it we havent gone any further with it.. I still feel very demoralised about it and like your partner I feel rejected and not good enough. We used to when we met play seperately too.. but over time we just didn't... I adore playing together and only have this issue with playing apart. But we keep talking and seeing if we can work it out and he has been amazingly supportive.. which helps | |||

That's what I did when I decided I didn't want to be monogamous anymore. I gave my partner the choice. He chose to go - and that's ok. I don't begrudge him that at all. | |||

"I'm afraid OP that whilst you've raised this on the Forum the answers have mainly come back about reconnecting with your husband as a couple without the swinging being an element. I think you were looking for reassurance that you're doing nothing that you haven't always done so what's the problem? Your husband maybe perceives that he's losing you to the thing that you started to enhance your relationship. He thinks that swinging has become more important to you than your marriage. If giving up swinging isn't an automatic thing then you (not him) have a more serious issue than you think you had when you raised the point. " | |||

I also wanted to point out two things: how common it is for a partner to be held responsible for their mates' insecurities, and how monogamy is massively used to alleviate and disguise said insecurities, in effect brushing them under the carpet. It is not the OP's swinging behaviour that has caused her husband's insecurity, it has merely exposed it. No matter how understanding and supportive a partner may be, ultimately it is our personal challenge to manage and hopefully overcome our individual insecurities - on our own. No amount of mollicoddling or monogamous cushioning will help with facing these fears. | |||

"The question you should be asking yourself is why is your hubby feeling insecure. Think you need to concentrate on that. This" OP you have two recent veris from the same guy. Maybe your husband is frightened of losing you? Of not being as good. You also say you accommodate - is having other men fuck you in your joint home an issue? Maybe if you only play seperarely does he get as many meets as you so feels things are unequal? The reality of single guy vs single lady says one thing but can still cause feelings of unfairness. Is your sex life at home as active? Do you still give him attention when you've had a meet or are you satisfied enough and don't bother? Lots of reasons behind feelings of insecurity but if you don't address it it can kill a marriage. | |||
