What is the best way for dealing with HWs developing feelings for your lovers? Do you embrace it and accept it as a natural part of the lifestyle (and how does it affect your feelings towards your partner), or do you try to use strategies that reduce the opportunity for developing deeper feelings (for example by having multiple lovers at the same time)? How do you and your partner/husband deal with the HW developing a romantic attachment to a lover?
I put in some safeguards in the beginning that I hope will head off any deeper feelings developing. Of course I expect to develop a friendship with any man that I play with because I am only looking for long term situations.
Before we started looking for potential candidates I told hubby that I had some guidelines I wanted to implement -
1)never be exclusive with any man I played with
2)no more than once a month with the same man
3) no more than one play date in a week
I do text the men I play with but I do not talk to them on the phone except for rare occasions and then only when I indicate that I want to talk to them. In other words I let them know they are not free to call me. Texting does not interrupt my time with hubby because I can answer them when I have the time, phone calls can be intrusive. (My take on it)
I love my husband. I have shared my life with him. These men share but a brief moment in time with me, not the day to day struggles. They aren't there through the good times and bad - there just isn't a comparison. Great sex is awesome but it doesn't complete me.
The suggestion that I would actually fall for one of these men to the point that I would leave my husband completely underestimates and undervalues my commitment and my love for my husband.
