    Swinging Advice

    My husband and I have been married 25 years. He started talking to me about trying to swing with other couples fairly early in our marriage. Maybe 7-10 years after we wed. About 9 years ago we met a couple and have been swapping couples ever since. But my husband is growing tied of just having sex exclusively with them and has been trying to find more friends to add to our 4 some. I'm not interested in adding any one and neither is the couple we swap with. He just won't get the fact that what we have is safe. But he is "needing" more excitement so he says. He spends a lot of his time lately talking to women on Kik and I'm sure other sites. He reads lots of exotic stories on swing web sits. I feel like he has become so focused on what he thinks he need to be sexually happy and he forgets about me. Help! Please with any advice!

    Have you had a heart to heart talk? I mean the sit down, lay it all out on the table type of discussion with him?
    If not, start with that.

    I don't mean to be abrupt in my comment, I'm short on time and add discussion later.

      After 25 years of marriage, your husband is probably at the midlife crisis age. How old is he? What symptoms does he display?
      I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
      ...
      Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

      From a speech by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 at St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia
