I feel confused about my feelings about a swinging relationship
 | |
| It is very common, especially in the early days in a new lifestyle such as this, to feel nervous or confused. Don't beat yourself up over it! The sorts of emotions that arise are very similar to those that you would experience as a single person meeting a potential new partner and getting to know them. Also, you will have the added complication of more people involved and that you are experiencing these things, in most cases, as a couple. Remember also that you may become intimate sexually quite quickly with people that you don't know terribly well in other respects. It is to be expected that, at least at first, you will have to deal with issues such as jealousy, fear of rejection, self-doubt, questioning yourself and others and swinging is bound to bring up questions about your existing relationship that had not previously occurred to you. However, if you have good self-esteem and a healthy, open relationship with your partner, you will deal with any of these negative feelings successfully and you will probably find that your relationships with yourself and your partner are enhanced. | |
