Keen to explore

July 03 2015

I am now at that point in life, where I am keen and feel brave enough to explore life outside my vanilla existence.. Problem is, my husband. I know he has had thoughts about both of us having other partners, (but I can never tell if he is serious or not), and I know he definitely wants me to enjoy being with another female. (I am all for that lesson)!! I just am not sure how to go about things, to ease me into a new way, and also making him realise I am serious about experimenting, without him feeling jealous or worried. (Which he shouldn't). Have always told him to find a female play partner for himself!.. I am hoping he is happy to join me in the change.. But the urge is strong and it's really bad timing though, as I am about to do a solo 3 week trip through Europe (aside from 9 days with the mother in law) at the end of July. Maybe I should talk to him just before I leave, to give him some thinking space or should I wait until I come home??? Thoughts please and advise on how I can overcome moving from vanilla to more!!!! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Then....talk some more! There's no right answer as everyones relationship is different. Not sure the timing is great, but make sure you tell him clearly how you feel, and make sure you are aware how he feels. If you both agree to explore then it's a whole lot of fun :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    Communication is key. Going through this myself in the past you have to be both open about your feelings. Setting some rules and guidelines also helps. But please talk. If you're not on the same page it can go horribly wrong. - Posted from rhpmobile

    He wants the same, he's just too nervous to say it. Talk to him! ! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Timing couldn't be better. Talk to him definitely and soon. Agree with all the above comments, he has probably been worried about hurting your feelings or damaging your relationship but if he knows for sure you're really ready for it, and if I were you, I'd let him know that the urge is now very strong and you want to act on it, best to be honest. As far as timing, with you going away, it might just be the space he needs to test the waters at his end, and you might be afforded the freedom to do the same while you're away, bingo! Happy days

    I'd wait until after the trip before you start exploring....if he's nervous and you aren't there to talk to in the flesh everything could go belly up. Then when you get back perhaps go to a swingers club together? They're really not intidmidating and you'll see there are many normal people out there doing the same. If that's too much, perhaps attend a meet and greet together and talk to others who've been in your shoes?

    I would find a female partner to play with, have him watch....and the next time tell him to come join you. Ease him into it, work your way up to playing with a couple and reassure him that's it's ok for him to play with the other woman.

    if he loves you...he should love you for ALL that you are...and that should include your desires and fantasies...your wants and needs... like many said it before...communication is the key...we only have one life..we should all be allowed to live it to the fullest...

    That's a positive and I like it... Talk is fine but it can get to a point where the same talk becomes a drone in a already frustrating situation... No one goes anywhere without someone acting on it . Follow Badkittens advice and see if you can go forward from there.. Jay..
