Unread post

SM,
I surely did not mean to dump on you as many here seem to have. I believe the harsh words are a result of the frustration we have felt as we have read your posts and witnessed your wavering back and forth as you have dealt with your issues. But no one here knows exactly your life and/or emotions. You are living it. We are not. If we were, we may have handled it in a similar fashion to yours. Who knows?
You have blazed a twisting, turning trail, full of switchbacks and false starts and you have documented it frankly and honestly. For that, we should all thank you. We should also thank EVERY poster who has taken the time to encourage or even rebut each of your posts. They prove that your's is but one of countless trails blazed through the wilderness that is "hotwifing".
I hope that you never again consider deleting this thread because, as a whole, it serves as a lesson (some would say "warning") on the pitfalls and/or strategies involved in starting out in the lifestyle by jumping in with both feet.
As I mentioned in my previous post, my wife and I have not yet made any kind of leap yet (and, at this point, who knows if we will) so I do not claim to be an expert in any sense of the word. (you far exceed my expertise) But in our situation, my wife and I have agreed on a few basic "rules" as a direct result of following your thread...
1) Communication, communication, communication.
2) I am not a cuck, nor do I want to be.
3) Any time I can be there, I will be there.
4) The first time either of us lies to the other, will be the LAST time either of lies about hotwifing, period!
Of course, we have come up with others, but we believe the above tenets will help us avoid some of the "ankle biters" that seem to have tripped you up on your journey. Of course, none of the above helps deal with the emotional aspect of it all. We think that for us, once emotions become any stronger than any other of her friendships, it is time to look elsewhere.
I know I am rambling like the novice that I am, but I wanted to add my thoughts and I also wanted to thank you and everyone else who has commented here. To those of us just starting out on this weird social experiment (or thinking about it) this is a well documented story of one couple's journey so far and can enlighten our own trip.
Finally, SM, I doubt your journey is over yet, but I hope you continue with this thread either way. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you on here.
(BTW, I mentioned that reading about your experiences was like watching a TRAIN WRECK in slow motion. I understand and appreciate that your posts were in real time and that time span was brief.)
