Lost and found - connecting with friends

June 14 2010

So the road has been long and winding and Sal and I have broadened our horizons and we have met alot of people. Sometime it was nice, sometimes it was awkward other times it was awesome. Our first year has been full of ups and downs (ohherr) So to the good couples who made us feel at home, we say thanks. To the couples we didn't have a shag with we say sorry about that, just wasn't working for us, we honestly you are lovely people but there wasn't that spark. To the people who contacted us and chatted to us, but we never meet up, we are thinking about wiping our MSN clean and starting again. So come on get your finger out, or in... (oherr again) To the couples or people who witness Sal and I having various melt downs over the year, we say 'sorry' we have lost some great friends because Sal and I had one of those nights, some months ago. You know those nights when you walk past a couple and they are having a row because of one forgotten thing or another? Well some people have seen that, some people have walked up to us while we have been in the middle and said 'hi' and we have tried to be friendly back. But you must understand, I can be a prick and Sal can be ... a lovey women who is never wrong!!! But ultimatly we are still together and we are a couple :P Sal is the horniest girl I know, hornier than me! Yet, in the real world I doubt people would think that. Muggles and straighties they know nothing! In our world, our RHP universe if you've met Sal or even played with her you'll know what I mean. But with that passion comes red hot fiery temper, we bring out the extremes in each other. This comes from years of boring marriages and not a lot of freedom. Now we are out we are just catching up. Although it is not nice to watch if you're on the sidelines, it is rather good to get it all out of the way and not hold on to things. So, what I'm saying is that to the friends we lost because of our little tiff we are sorry. To the people who we met and played with, thank you again for allowing us our journey in this new world. To the new friends we have made, we now have to lift our game. We will be fitter, have more stamina and generally this new year, we are going to relax. the first year was a learning curve, now it's time to relax and enjoy the moments we share. We are not flawless and we are real...Salina here adding her two cents: Big shout out also to the people we have not met but chat to and swap opinions thoughts and feelings with in the forums! Even the people we come to blows with, nothing like a bit of healthy debate :) and to Couples International for always making us feel welcome and at home whether we are there to play or there for a cup of tea and some friendly conversation :Pxx Andy and Salina

Don't worry guys we hear you!! as a couple on our first year of a fabulous journey we hear you loud and clear and though we don't know you, we often get a giggle from your forum posts.I think that ultimately the real friends you have made will get over it and still be there and the others?? well i am sure they were fun while they lasted lolGood on you for always telling it like it is and being real (such a rare find) and may the next year be even better than your first.(newbie hugs) Mrs GC

Swinging is not an easy road to take it has it's ups and downs and can be very a bumpy road. But that said it is a fun trip and can open your relationship to a level of closeness that otherwise I don;t think would happen naturally. All couples have their "interesting" nights and what I always say is that you never know what goes on behind closed doors with any couple. No-ones relationship is perfect and those who judges others relationships are No one is perfect and those think they are often furtherest from it I find. Any and Sal as you know we know some of the same people ....In Brisbane -its not 6 degrees of separation but rather one or two... Anyway we have had some people make comments about you guys and your relationship and those comments have almost always come from couples whose relationship is in crisis from where i see it. People in glass houses should not throw stones and you know what we all live in glass houses when we are swingers.

couldn't have put it better myself, this is such a small community and people do talk (not always favorably) so all you can hope is that people meet and decide for themselves after all we are not all everyone's cup of tea and we all have different tastes and yes we are all in the same boat essentially, (glass houses) so best to keep personal views of others to oneself i find.This is all supposed to be fun so live each moment as it comes and enjoy the ride i sayMrs GC

A bit of a worry talking about others, we have a rule we dont identify anyone who we have met. We would be worried if others started talking to us about others as un written rules we thought were: Dont kiss and tell Maintain others confidentiality. We reconise that some we have played with it was really a failure and we blame them....but in reality they might consider us a failure and be blaming us for different reasons. For us it is best not to go there, but can talk to others about other experiances but never identify anyone. Just our thoughts.

Salina and Andy Pants. You two are great friends, you both know that. No, we've never played although we've always had fun joking about it. Nights of watching tv, the bbq's without the actual bbq and french cricket have been some of our best nights out. We know and have been privy to some of your more "interesting" times and hey, we all have them. A true friend sticks by you both through thick and thin, regardless of whether your cracking jokes or venting things. Life gets awful busy sometimes and we don't always get the time to stop and breath and catch up with those we care about but know that no matter what your both always our friends. Swings and round-abouts as you say Andy Pants. Love you both long time. xxx
