"A) you have no need to justify or explain yourself to anybody here. B) my opinion is that disclosing all this private stuff about your marriage and your wife isn't a great idea." Thank you. I agree with both of your points fully Had I not been a totally anonymous entity under a pseudonym that nobody knows then, of course, there’s no way I would post personal info like that on a public forum. | |||

"I don't get why you felt you needed to put this story up. Just go about your cheating without the song and dance. The people who may meet you certainly couldn't care less about the reasons. " Valid point. No reason other than to put another perspective from the oft held view that cheaters must be unhappy in their marriages. But you’re right, the people I’ve met haven’t given two hoops about it! | |||

I say this in a neutral way, is it ok to mention your wife and her sex drive as well? I guess you put this up for comment or discussion, if not feel free to ignore me | |||

"Did you miss off option f) - talk and find if there is something behind her lowered sex drive? Feelings of not feeling sexy, tired, not feeling wanted, thinking you want other women more etc etc etc. Just an option that worth thinking about too. MrB" Thank you. Yes, we have. I skipped over it a bit due to trying to maintain some brevity. But we have discussed yes. | |||

You're happy That just screams happy, that post The very fact that you feel the need to broadcast your 'happiness' says it all Rather than posting that, maybe you could have been doing something special for your partner? You know, to tell HER how happy you are? It is a week before Christmas, after all | |||

"Well written piece, and I get it. There are probably lots of other men and women in the same boat. You say that in a way it has made your relationship "better" but do you not feel guilt at your cheating which conversely makes it "worse"? Not judging, just wondering." Thanks. There is an inner guilt. I accept its wrong and dishonest. It’s the lesser of two evils for me. Others will disagree. | |||

" We do lots of special things together. " I actually do not think you need to justify or explain yourself - you chose to share your story and some people do not think it is a good idea. But that should not really force you into justifying it even more - you do what you do and it is your life, your wife's life. I do not have an issue with attached guys - but I do not wish to meet them. It would be great if we could agree that those who do "cheat" should not judge the people who choose not to engage with them and vice versa. Problem solved | |||

"With all due respect OP, this is just your side of the story. Your bersion of your life. I'm sure your wife would probably be under the illusion of things being all good and rosey. These threads never make me feel sympathy for the OP, they make me feel that yet another cheating spouse is trying to justify their reasons for cheating. I don't want to know why you cheat, it should be your burden to keep because you CHOOSE to cheat. And i'm sure if your wife saw your post she would be mortified and embarrassed that you've discussed her (however vaguely) on a swinging site where you cheat on her. Somethings are just best left to yourself." Me neither. | |||

"Thank you all for your feedback. I’m going to leave the thread now. It was one story out of thousands. I know most will not agree with my actions, and I accept this. I am not intending to snub anyone by not replying, and thank you in advance for replying to the thread. " We ALL have stories Some of us dont feel the need to broadcast our personal business to the world. Maybe chat to your mates? | |||

I am not intending to snub anyone by not replying, and thank you in advance for replying to the thread. Didn’t quite go the way you wanted it to, did it." Far from it, if you read the original post the response is exactly as I expected! My goal, stated early, was not to gain empathy or sympathy and I knew most would be very anti. I take in board all that everyone has said. It’s nothing that hasn’t been covered before on here (from a forum search) and other sites I’ve been on. The thread is what it is. It’s one man’s story / perspective. Most people are vehemently in disagreement. I accept and respect that. But it’s my story. I said in the original post it’s wrong and I feel guilt. It’s a perspective, that some may understand, and others won’t. | |||

Did you think about telling your wife that you need sex and proposing you have extra marital sex that does not threaten the marriage? | |||

And presenting themselves as some sort of good guy for not destroying their happiness. The need to share and seek approval with strangers on a forum is lost on me and I find it a little nauseating. If you cheat, then cheat, just get on with it, quietly and without the drama of posts like this There is a recurring theme on the forums as to why women cheats are viewed so differently to male cheats and I honestly think that the answer is, in part at least because in all the years I;ve been on the forums I can honestly never recall a woman posting a thread like this | |||

Treat people how you wish to be treated with honesty, integrity and the truth for me is the only way. Never mine someone you proclaim to love. What you are doing is unforgivable and its only a matter of time. Sorry but thats just my option. All the best | |||

"If I had committed to be monogamous then I would never break that trust going forward. I couldn't lie over something so important to someone I'm supposed to care about. But when I found myself in the same situation as the original post I asked my partner for an open relationship and they said no. I knew I couldn't continue going on without any sex, so I said goodbye to the relationship. It was the only way, as far as I was concerned." To me, that is the correct way to deal with the situation. | |||
