Would it be cheating??

April 22 2014

So I find myself in an interesting bind. Between all the demands of modern living with raising a family and all that stuff, my partner’s roster sees him at work most weekends. We both love to swing but in the last year on so we haven’t had the time to play. In the past when I have gone away with work or study, I have played on my own and he loves the stories I bring home to share. I don’t actively seek to play on my own because the sex at home is fantastic! My problem now is that I am really bored being home. I want to go out and have some fun! But I can’t help feel that it would be wrong for me to do this when my partner is not out there with me to have some fun too - but because he’s stuck at work and I’m out partying! Sex isn’t so much the issue. If I was to go out with a couple/male/female from rhp, we might have sex and maybe we wouldn’t. But at the very least, I would hope to go out and have a laugh and socialise. I’ll admit that I have lost a little bit of my spark and thought getting out and having some fun might pep me up out of this slump I feel like I’m in. Your thoughts/comments would be most appreciated. :)

    And this is just my opinion, because that's what you wanted, it would still be cheating. I am a little confused at your post OP.... You firstly say that the sex at home is fantastic but then go on to say that you are in a slump/lost your spark?? And further more thought that getting out to play or socialise would help lift your spirits. I wonder, would it not be a better place to start by seeing big your hubby wants to play when he is home on days off?? Doesn't always have to be a weekend activity does it?? Looking forward to the other comments and suggestions and I hope that you find your mojo again.... We've all been there😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I can't help but wonder..... if sex isn't the issue and you are longing for social interaction..... where are your friends? DG

    What anyone else thinks. The only opinion you should be concerned with is your husband's.

    Situations arise where it is not possible for both to go out and experience the fun. I have gone to parties at friends' houses without John due to him being sick, away with mates, no baby sitter etc. It was his idea for me to still go. When I have returned home I have always told him everything and shown him any pics that may have been taken. If it is open and upfront and both parties are comfortable with the situation there is no problem. This definitely is a time for 100% honest communication!

    Excuse me everyone, I don't think the issue is sex at all, I think Baygirl feels guilty for going out and having a good time... no matter what form that may take..... when hubby is working. Baygirl, I am sure your husband wouldn't mind if you go out. Surely he doesn't expect you to spend every weekend at home?

    the issue if hubby is ok with it but I agree with DG, where are your friends? If you are happy to keep sex out of it, maybe you should be seeking a social life away from your sex life.

    We are your friends, in this little world on the forums, well it's actually quite a big world, the whole country anyway. So it's nice for a change to see someone caring for their partner, It's a bummer that your swinging hubby is away so much, and it is great that you can share this with us. Don't see anything at all that suggests you are cheating on hubby, only lonely that he is not there to share something that you both enjoy doing together. So you feel guilty for going out having fun while he is off earning the bread and butter. That is a nice way for thinking. Sure he would just love to know that. Mado Tara xx

    Hey Baygirl, the partner you refer to in the OP? is that the 30yo guy who keeps you smiling? the one you refer to in your profile? What does he think about you going out on the weekends without him? He might be fine about it, in which case it would not be cheating at all?

    You say that in the past when you went away for work or study you played without hubby and he liked the stories you would tell when you got home.So what's the difference between you going away and him leaving you on your own while he is working all weekend ?If he didn't mind it then he shouldn't mind it now, unless there is more to it than you have told us.Just talk it through with him.ET xox

    Is that we moved here about 6 months ago and while it has been very challenging, it was absolutely the right decision. As for friends here - I use to have quite a few living here but a number of them only left around xmas time which sucks! But I do think that I need to have some fun and kick up my heels! Like I said, sex isn't what I'm wanting but heh - sex is to be enjoyed and I love it!! Yep, I've been hit with the lonely stick and i do appreciate your comments :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think....you need to harden the fuck up. Why?? Because if your partner has no issue with you going out, why should you?? Back in days gone by and I was married, my then wife asked me if she could go out with her friends. "Jesus!!" I thought. "Da fuck you asking ME for ?? You should be telling me. You're at home all week with the kids, you work most weekends while I look after the kids. Your girlfriend group is hardly ever in the same town on the same night!! If you don't go out I'll be thinking something's wrong" I said. She kept at me, and at me "are you sure??" In the end I said "enough already. You don't have to ASK me permission to hang out with your girls, so no more asking am I sure!" So she goes out, comes home at 11!!! I'm thinking "da fuck is she doing home so early??" She creeps through the front door and then ASKS me again of she can go for a road trip to the nightclubs. WTF??? Once again she starts with the whole "are you sure?" Business. This time I told her I was going to lock her out and I didn't want to see her until she returned at 4am drunk and horny!! So I ask you Baygirl. Why do YOU need validation to have a night out?? Your partner is cool with it, so where's the guilt from?? Seems pointless feeling guilty if everyone that matters have supported the idea. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think we all get that at some stage or other... As a working mum when ever I did go out, I felt guilty, I don't know why just did - and I don't even have a husband.. LOL I just needed that time out to socialize and have adult conversations away from my mundane routine. I think we all need to do that...let our hair down a bit. We have to do stuff what we enjoying doing, for ourselves. My parents encourage me to go out etc etc and enjoy myself and make time for me, cause they worry I'm not living a life for me, but for others instead. I so totally get and understand what you are saying Baygirl. Foxy

    Moving to another place is difficult sometimes, I know i have done that. It takes time to find yourself, your role and where you fit in, friends etc...it does get hard sometimes and lonely days. It sounds like you've hit a slump and that does happen, cause it's new and exciting at first then bang! It's like it's just snuck up on you. I think it's quite normal and Ok when that happens. I understand your husbands roster as well, that doesn't help much with the situation as weekend you want to do things together. I am in the same boat too, some weekends i have to work and others are out having fun. :( However I have learnt that no matter what, I have to make myself happy at the end of the day cause no one else is going to.

    Quoting 'baygirl2315' That I know that he has no problem for me to go out more and that makes me feel like shit lol!!!! You actually feel worse because he's so accommodating? I've been there. It sounds like you really care about his feelings, and perhaps you feel a little like he's too good for you? Please correct me if I'm way off. You know the saying "if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy"? The better you look after your soul, the better you can look after him and your family, I think.

    Quoting 'baygirl2315' But I do think that I need to have some fun and kick up my heels! Like I said, sex isn't what I'm wanting but heh - sex is to be enjoyed and I love it!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but from your OP and from this sentence it sounds like you're wondering if it would be cheating were you to go out socially - not really with the specific intention of having sex with anyone - but then while you were out the opportunity to hook up did come along and you took that opportunity. Is that the kind of situation you're referring to?If you just want to go out socially, no sex, then you're more than entitled to do so and that would not be cheating at all. If you are thinking of going out with sex being a possibility then my advice would be the same as most of the other posters - talk to your partner about it. If he has been ok with you having fun without him before, then chances are he will be again, but you don't know for sure unless you talk to him.

    I think there's nothing wrong with it especially if he says it's ok, I often go away of business trips and have told my partner I would love if she had some fun while I was gone and then she told me all about it, I actually want her to do it - Posted from rhpmobile

    At work today I was alone in the storeroom with a buyer and HOPED he would of made a move on me as I was that horny today I would of fucked and sucked him and LOVED it. I told my boyfriend this and he absolutely loved it and the story and said I would of gotten great service in the future as well as being regularly visited to place an order. If your guy liked stories in the past why not tell him. To me it is only cheating if your partner doesn't know.

    Go with your heart. If Hubby's OK and it makes you feel good, then go for it. Personally, I fully support that kind of behaviour and I think there should be much more of it! Just as long as your partner is getting his fill and not feeling let out, otherwise things might go pear-shaped pretty quick.Even if your relationship is strong, it's amazing how quick the "green eyed monster" will come out if he thinks you're having all the fun and he's missing out.

    Educated people usually use their skill of communication to resolve certain issues... Talk to your husband about the way you are feeling. Only the 2 of you can resolve this one.

    To be honest you need to talk to your husband about these things and get it sorted between you not seek the opinions of these people that 1 don't really care about you ( like your husband does or should ) and 2 Probably just want to get in your pants. So they will tell you anything.. If he is really ok with you doing this then you are the one that is having the issue ? maybe you need to re confirm that he REALLY is! ok with this and have a proper discussion which by the sounds of it you have not had. Communication is KEY to any successful marriage open or closed. That is coming from a successful marriage of 10 years +

    It's NOT cheating if you discuss your ideas with him before you go and do it? Is he missing out no not really as you can be open and upfront with him? If you don't tell him then it's cheating? If I had a partner n worked away I deff wldnt want her sitting at home alone because I had to work. Trust, respect n honour are the key points here...

    Babygirl, hubby and I have the same situation, except for the friends part....... Due to hubbies work situation, sometimes he just can't come out with me and whilst I know that he is fine with me playing, I sometimes just have this unsettling feeling.......... However, I finally realised, it wasn't guilt, I was getting on edge because I missed playing with HIM, everyone else will always be an addition to, yes, I adore my friends, however he is my man and as such, I want him over everyone else............... When I realised what I was feeling, we had this amazing talk and now, if we can't go out, we do picnics in the lounge room, go to the local pub for a drink, and generally do 'special' things together........... I do hope you find your comfort zone

    only he can tell you if he feels its cheating..or not...so ask him, not us. if it was my lady? if she did this without discussing it with me first, then yea, i'd be pissed and feel betrayed etc, as she would if it were me....but thats us, within the confines of our relationship, putting our spin on what it is we share and expect from each other.
