"We are on here as a couple but both married to others who have no idea about us .. and yes we get judged and have been told we are seedy because we meet in hotels , and that we are untrustworthy because we lie to our partners etc but on here we are open and honest about our situation ... our reason for being together is simple we don’t get sex at home ..and we are d/s and have each our certain needs to satisfy , our reason for being on fab is that we are horny and kinky and I ( mrs ) wanted to explore bi play and couples ![]() Thanks for sharing! I know how difficult living in a sexless relationship can be. Been there (now divorced). | |||

"Ok, here goes. I’m in a sexless marriage. My wife does know I occasionally sleep with other women but doesn’t want to know the details and certainly doesn’t want to take part in any way. It’s something I do on my own. I am on here as a single male as that is how I meet. " Nice profile .... I perved ![]() | |||

"I’m married. By husband doesn’t know I’m on here. Things are not great in the relationship, haven’t been for a whiles but we have children. And while everybody says ‘you shouldn’t stay for the kids’, it’s not always easy to walk away when you have them. People are very quick to judge when they see somebody on here without their partners consent, but it’s never black and white. Everybody has a reason, or a story. I never thought I would be the wife that cheated, but here I am. " There is a counter argument that you should stay for the children. I did just over ten years back and glad I did. Mine are all grown now but my marriage is over. | |||

There's always someone ready to judge all of us in all aspects of our lives without hearing us out aren't there? I'm sure there are non-swinging people ready to judge you too. But I'd defend your right to be you without being judged. ![]() | |||

In an ideal world there wouldn't be any cheating and we'd treat eachother fairly. But we know the world is far more complex than that. | |||

"This is a controversial topic so please be open, honest and courteous to all the contributors! Quite a few people seem to be married or in a relationship and swing 'on the side' without their partner's knowledge. It's easy to be quick to judge and it happens a lot on Fab. For some it's a black and white issue while others see shades of grey. But what are the stories behind why men and women do this? Let's all try to understand and be slow to judge. Over to you ... everyone is welcome on this thread but please be respectful and courteous. ![]() I know i won't be the first to state your title refers to cheating, not swinging. | |||

" Some accuse others of judging (condemning) when they are actually judging (assessing) in relation to themselves, ie, i don't want to fuck someone with a partner." This in a nutshell. A lot of people that have been cheated on, don't want to be party to someone else's pain. Vine's situation is different (IMO) if his wife knows he gets it elsewhere occasionally and stays, then presumably that works for her, and that wouldn't bother me. | |||

" Some accuse others of judging (condemning) when they are actually judging (assessing) in relation to themselves, ie, i don't want to fuck someone with a partner." That's how I view it. If my partner was cheating on me, I'd be really hurt, so I imagine it'd be the same for other people. My conscience couldn't live with knowing that I could be the reason a relationship ends, so I'd just bypass those people altogether. I wouldn't turn someone down if their partner knew about it and were okay with it though. | |||
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) |
"No. But not harming anyone are they? " Whether someone is swinging or cheating, and whether someone is hurting somebody else, have nothing to do with each other. I’ve read plenty of stories here indicating that people are often hurt when following a swinging lifestyle. There are also those who ‘cheat’ who aren’t hurting anyone. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. Just try to avoid reasoning that simply does not follow. | |||

"It’s up to the individual what they do. It’s not for us to judge as we don’t know the circumstances. ![]() Just for clarity, you're saying you don't judge someone's motives but you want the choice whether to have sex with them? This is perfectly reasonable btw! | |||

"Anyone that puts "discrete" pretty much = cheating. It's not rocket science ![]() Actually 'discrete' (has to be spelled incorrectly), appearing more than once in a profile is a useful red flag i find..just alerts me to the likelihood that someone might be attached, among other things..i don't care if you agree or not, but please try not to be quite so rude to people.its completely uncalled for. | |||

"just alerts me to the likelihood that someone might be attached, among other things..i don't care if you agree or not," It says more about you that your mind jumps to that than it does about the people writing it. . As for how rude I am, I’d argue that the post I was responding to was the more obnoxious one. I may have been less subtle, but I’m not throwing baseless accusations at large sections of the site. Just a more targeted, verifiable one. | |||

"I love my wife completely and wouldn't want to be without her. When the sex stopped nearly 15 years ago, I found that after a few frustrating sexless years that I was starting to resent my wife and felt depressed; our relationship took a nose dive. We discussed an open marriage but she couldn't seperate love from lust and so wouldn't support such a lifestyle. Being on fab meets my need for sex, I no longer feel sad and lonely and, my marriage is once again a strong and happy one. I appreciate that this strategy is high risk and I stand to lose the person I love but, had I not chosen this route, I would've lost her long ago or, more to the point, she would've lost me" Thanks for sharing Chris. | |||

Someone who lies to his nearest and dearest about something very important to them, is unlikely to be honest with strangers on the Internet... Always makes me smile the naivety of that statement. " I don’t think it’s naive. I ask and they answer. It becomes quite apparent if they are lying. Always happy to make someone smile though. | |||

"Don't be snotty just because I disagree with you dear. As a hotwife I have received hundreds of messages from "single men" and I can assure that every single one of the men that had "discrete" in their profiles, when asked, admitted they were married. Now go away and annoy someone who cares. ![]() All you’ve done here is demonstrate your inability to draw reasonable or accurate conclusions from the evidence available. The fact that, I’m your experience, all married men have a profile that includes ‘discrete’ or ‘discreet’ does not, in any way whatsoever, justify your assertion that everyone who has ‘discrete’ or ‘discreet’ in their profile is cheating on a partner. Thanks for proving what I said. | |||

"I'm probably not gonna make any friends here, but I find it morally wrong. Yes, there's a number of reasons why someone might cheat on their partner. My ex cheated on her boyfriend before I came along and whilst I didn't agree with it, I accepted her reasons. He was a prick and her friend was telling her everything she wanted to hear, so they ended up sleeping together. It doesn't make it right, but I accepted it for what it was and I trusted her not to do the same to me. So those who are being neglected emotionally or abused by their partner I can understand why they do it. But those who cheat purely for sex, whether they're in a sexless relationship or they're doing it just for fun, are hurting someone they supposedly care about. The thing is I can imagine the same people being absolutely devastated if they found out their partner was cheating on them. Why do something harmful to someone if you wouldn't want it being done to yourself? A break up is devastating under normal circumstances, but a break up where one person cheats on another would destroy someone even more." Love this. My thoughts exactly | |||

"I’m married. By husband doesn’t know I’m on here. Things are not great in the relationship, haven’t been for a whiles but we have children. And while everybody says ‘you shouldn’t stay for the kids’, it’s not always easy to walk away when you have them. " Everybody says that? I don't! The ideal solution is of course to fix problems with the relationship. But if that isn't possible then supplementing the relationship with outside help is preferable to divorce. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant to the effects of divorce on children. | |||

"Why stay in a sexles relationship if it’s that important to you?? Just an excuse for cheating I’d love to ask your partner if it’s true?? Lol" I used to know a couple (both dead now, sadly) where this was exactly the case. The wife was unable to have sex, and the husband had a female friend, with benefits. I knew nothing about it (I’d known them since I was seven) until the male’s sexual partner accidentally fell pregnant (by which time I was in my late teens). I found out that a few people had had their suspicions about the sexual relationship with the friend. I also found out that the wife knew about it all along. The sexual relationship continued after the child was born, and everyone - including, crucially, the wife - knew about it. The husband and wife remained happily married. Now, I’m not saying that this situation was the norm, but the fact that I know that it has happened means that I’m willing to accept that others may have a similar situation. | |||

"That is exactly it m Swinging is for couple s who are together and do this Otherwise it’s just a sex site " Seeing and thinking things in such a categorised way must make life very easy.

"That is exactly it m Swinging is for couple s who are together and do this Otherwise it’s just a sex site " This is a valid point but slightly off topic. That said, this site allows couples and singles and many couples look for single men (i.e. not a couple) ... and you have some verifications from single men yourself. | |||

"...but are almost certainly more likely. Again, totally unverifiable, illogical nonsense." For me also, it is a good initial 'indicator'...women are usually not completely illogical or stupid. I, and others who have a similar view, have come to it through experience...and our experiences have shown that certain things point to the likelihood of someone being attached. Very often , when men cannot accomodate for other reasons they will say so. It isn't that difficult really! And i would say that it is, if you can be arsed, which i certanly can't, possible to verify the percentage of profiles that fit into this quite easily. | |||

If you are an employer who provides staff to say, a nursery, or a care home, a school.. it could shut your business down overnight if certain clients found out you had staff involved in anything they disapproved of..also in positions in govt, or the services, where people could be subjected to bla*kma*l..there are valid reasons for them to cover themselves.it's not ideal , but i can see why so many employers still have morals clauses.." I find it cringe worthy that 'society' thinks breaking up a family unit is fine, but staying together and swinging is bad. Especially given infidelity is the number 1 cited reason for divorce. | |||

"If you wanna swing then no one at your job has the right to say you can't. Or at least they shouldn't have the right. It’s part of my employment contract that I cannot do anything in my life which might make my employer look bad. It’s also part of my contract that I can’t do anything which puts me at risk of being bla©kmailed. I’m sure you’ll forgive me if I don’t want to rely on, “Somebody on the internet said it’s fine,” at my employment tribunal. That's completely ridiculous. I can understand if we were talking about drugs or something like that, but it's sex. Everyone does it, everyone has the right to do it and it's not illegal. What I'm saying is an employer shouldn't have the right to tell us what we can or can't do in our private life unless it's illegal and could harm the employer. If someone wants to go swinging, then their employer shouldn't be able to say ''no, you're not allowed, because that will make me look bad''. Again if you were taking drugs then fair enough, I can see their point, but to say we're not allowed to have sex because it will embarrass them is wrong." I've explained about code of conduct for professionals. | |||
