A weird, weird story (swingers and lies)

LegacyUser · 07-01-2010 10:58PM #1

I don't know how to make this as short as possible, so, i guess i have to just say it as it is. which will mean its long, but i really need advice.

I was dating a girl since the start of July 2009 until about 2 weeks ago. She is 20 and I am 25. Im afraid to say but I met her from a social networking site. (tagged)

I guess I have to start with what happened in October. I was dating her for around 4 full months at this time (it was the end of october) and I learned that she had an older, married swinger friend. A man named Jack who is openly married to a bisexual wife and who both openly swing with other people. She was friends with him for around a year at this point. I was totally in the dark about this one. Jack was someone she mentioned as just being a friend and polish. I knew nothing more.

It seems that this man jack was constantly telling my now ex gf that she should have a bisexual experience. Often telling her about "sex parties" he would hold and inviting her. All this was behind my back.

Now how I learned this was a very weird situation also. It turns my ex-gf was bi-curious and wanting to try an experience with a women. It just so happened a girl named jess was talking to the swinger guy jack on tagged, and after what appeared to be long conversations, and also this jess girl saying my ex-gf was attractive (as my ex and jack were friends on tagged) jack told my ex-gf that a women was talking to him he was also bi curious.

after a chat with my ex and jess. My girlfriend suggested to me a 3some with her, me and this jess. I responded by saying that i didnt want this to create a problem between us, or that i could be never comfortable with if she wanted to have a 3some with another man. i said it was to be her choice, which she said, she wanted to do.

So it turns out my ex-gf was not fully bi and did not want to actually go ahead with it which is perfectly understandable. She just didnt want to for whatever reason. At this point, this is how i learned about her friend jack the swinger and how he was at her to try a bisexual experience for a good long time now. I had a fight about her how it was just a so called coincidence that he (jack) happened to have a bisexual wife and was trying to make my gf bisexual? ...

anyways, after a fight. she said that all was a mistake. that jack was only out for what he could "gain" from her being bisexual. She told me she was disgusted by him and didnt want to mention him or the situation anymore. So i forgot all that happened and we moved on.

About 2 months later, around December 27th 2009, my ex-gf was on the Luas home to tallaght after spending christmas with her cousin. "accordingly" (i put that in commas as you'll see why in a moment) she "met" a man on the luas on the way home. A random stranger who happened to talk to her about a book I got for christmas for her (Christopher Booker - Seven Basic Plots - a book about helping to write stories) -accordingly this man was a writer with serveral stories published. She gave him her number. She later went home and told me all this. She told me he was a man in his late 30's and named Mike. I was mad at her for giving her number to a stranger on the luas, who, lets face it. was trying to chat her up. (as it sounds like)

So the next day I am ringing her. She says she is getting another call (as she has that call option selected) So we end the call... after about an hour. She rings me back and I ask "who was that?" (thinking it was that Luas guy) it turns out it was him. I asked how long was she on the phone to him? she says 40-45 mins. She explains how he can help her with writing and how she wanted to meet him and that she wanted me to meet him also. so after some questions i finally get it out of her that writing was NOT the only thing they talked about. That "accordingly" his parents were swingers and how he goes to orgies and also how he asked her to goto one...

I have a major fight with her.

we break up.

For obvious reasons i was thinking whats the chances she'd meet another perverted man into swinging on the luas of all places?!

I havent really talked to her since. Apart from about 3 texts. Usually me trying to explain how she did wrong. falling on deaf ears.

I find out two days ago, from a friend that she indeed met this mike a few days ago and how i was meant to be "parnonoid" - that was accordingly the issue.

I think i already know my answer and feelings on this one. But i would love to hear from the other boards members.

Sorry but I dont see the question here.... ?

IT seems to me that your Girlfriend has been honest with you and is looking for something that you dont want and cant give her.... Stay broken up !

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 12:13AM

erm,
hmm.
i dont know how to respond to that.

I am talking about a girlfriend who is interested in swingers, gangbangs, etc and not being honest in saying she is. In fact, to quote her "no not interested" - but yet, her actions.

she is trying to pass this situation off as me not understanding. thats the question, how am i getting this wrong?

and when i say understanding >> understanding that accorodingly that she only wants to be friends ... but yet. sex / swingers / that side of perversion keeps getting mentioned?

martdalto · 08-01-2010 12:27AM

I'm not sure if you're mis-using the word "acordingly", or if I just don't understand what it is your trying to say when you use it.. possibly my fault, so apologies.

Anyway, what exactly is it you're looking for advice on? It would seem strange that a man on the luas tried to set up a swingers type thing with her.. but not completely unheard of!

A man started speaking to me on a 5 minute bus journey a while ago, I politely spoke back (it was only 5 minutes!) when I got off the bus, he got off, followed me (freaked me out a bit, so I went into a shop) - and insisted on giving me his phone number (asked for mine but I told him I didn't have a phone!!) and "told" me to ring him, to arrange a date. He was very insistent and very forceful. He scared the bejaysus out of me!

So it's not unimagineable that this happened your gf on the luas. And maybe she was just being polite by talking to him, and wasn't assertive enough to say "Please go away now"..

I do think that you are probably not right for each other at the moment. Plenty more fish in the sea etc etc!

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 12:35AM

I guess my advice is ...
i'm listening to what she has to say. that i was too parnanoid.

but i know in my heart and soul i know i have not been.
like, if you date someone, for six months. someone who says they love you, and did what they did above...

I guess. I am looking for peoples opinions on this.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 12:46AM

martdalto,
i see what you're trying to say.
just fact is, she gave her number out, then the next day had a 45 min talk over the phone with him. then rang me and said she wanted to meet him. then, after about 2 mins of "was that all he said" - she turned around and said sex, swingers and sex parties / orgies was apart of the topic.

thats not a topic you have with a so called stranger you meet on the luas.

shellyboo · 08-01-2010 12:50AM

She didn't do anything wrong. She has bisexual tendencies - she's interested in swinging. She's trying to express this to you in admittedly a very clumsy way...

But she hasn't slept with anyone or done anything behind your back except talk to people who share her kink - a kink you have declared to be a "perversion".

You are being paranoid and you are being narrow-minded. All your gf was trying to do was involve you in an aspect of her sexuality - she didn't make a very good job of it, but instead of listening to her, you overreacted.

I think she's probably better off without you - and you could do with finding someone you're more compatible with sexually, too.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 12:59AM

I feel that i should explain myself more so.
You know yourself when writing something that touches your feelings you skip over things.

She said, and quote that she is not bi. She thought she was. But is not.
She said that her friendship with the older married man jack in october was a mistake.

then, 2 months later (december 2009)
she wanted to become friends with another man with swinging connections.

me as her boyfriend of 6 months, who has said she loves me, am i meant to be perfectly acceptable that she wants to be friends with more swinginrg friends?
like, see, in october she was disgusted with her friendship with jack. To quote her "not realising" ...

my point is, in her words, she made a mistake with being friends with such a man who only wanted to have a3some with her and his wife.

then in december she wanted to become friends with ANOTHER swinging man.

You see the bind i am in ?
was i being fed lies all along?
was the "jack situation" really a mistake? .. or just a mistake because i learned of it.
we were meant to be in a loving relationship. Am i meant to be comfortable knowing she wants to pertake in sex with serveral men?

I can't see how that matters any more if you're no longer a couple.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 01:05AM

well...
when i say "ex"
its on fringe. ya know.

i am torn between, listening to her, and feeling whats right.

like, for anyone reading this, what if you were dating somone who says they just want you...ONLY YOU.... no one else. but yet they show much signs of wanting to explore sex orgies?

like, she says she doesnt want too. but yet, why all the above?
ya know.

shellyboo · 08-01-2010 01:05AM

You don't have to be comfortable with it, no... But she's not a pervert or a bad person for having a kink.

If you don't want a gf who's into swinging and is unsure about her sexuality - which is all it sounds like to me, uncertainty - that's your choice and your preference. But she still didn't do anything wrong.

Nevyn · 08-01-2010 01:08AM

Because she is young and is curious and is flattered by the notice she is getting.
Plenty of people go and learn more about swinging or other alt/kink sexualities and thier communites and ever do anything, they are pretty much know as tourists.

Your insecurties are making you freak and panic, if you can't handle a mature converstaion with out getting swamped with fears then leave her to live her life and explore with out you breathing down her neck.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 01:10AM

Shelly,
I see where you are coming from.
I do.

But that also means that if a person is in a 6 month+ relationship. It is alright to give phone numbers out to unknown people on the luas?
then have a near hour long conversation the next day?
where swinging and sex parties are talked about? but, officially, to the partner (me in this case) sex parties are not what they are into?

like,
what i am trying to say is...
look whatever people are into. who is another to judge?
if thats not what another person wants. dont be with them. but the fact is, she said one thing (no, i dont like that sort of thing) but on the other hand, her actions are saying she does. get me?

so is me being "parnonoid" really an accurate description?

starchild · 08-01-2010 01:58AM

if I agree with previous posters, your girlfriend seems to be going through a time where she is interested in exploring different experiences, its possible she is bi sexual, its possible orgys may be her thing or its possible that she is just interested and will never participate.

You have obviously have very deep feelings for her and this is making you very insecure. I think you have a clear choice, if the relationship is going to go forward i believe you will have to accept her willingness to explore her sexuality. You will have to learn to trust her and try not to place limitations on the relationship.

I can understand some of where you are coming from, not many men would be happy with number exchanges, forty five min conversations and then meet ups, it would set alarm bells off in most relationships.

The key is how you react, if your immediate reaction is to dump her and not believe her then that is where this will end. If you genuinely feel like you cannot trust her anymore then the relationship is best finished anyway as it will not survive without trust.

id imagine that breaking up with her is not really what you want which is probably quiet upsetting for you so on that front i hope you are doing ok

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 02:16AM

Thanks for the words.
but,
i think people are getting confused. she is not BI!
she thought she was. but shes not.
she, however wants to be friends with men who are in the swinger lifestyle. not for exploring bisexuality. But for having serveral men at once.

See im at a weird place with this.
The fact is of life, is someone wants to do something, who is anyone to say they cant?

but at the same time. if you're in a relationship and just not being honest with the partner of your true feelings, and, doing so much actions to say thats what you want?

whats right?
I mean, i am all for being honest. you tell people what you want. you dont hide it. this girl has said so many times she is not interested in that. .. ... but... the old saying "judge people on not what they say, but their actions"

I guess the situation can be summed up by this line. you're with a girl for 6 plus months. By her actions she wants to have serveral men at once. How can i be comfortable with this?

She can give her number to whoever she likes - he offered to help her with writing. I can't see why that wouldn't be ok, She's allowed talk to other men if she wants.

I can see why you'd be uncomfortable with her talking about swinging with him - but she couldn't talk to you about it, could she? When she told you she wasn't interested, she was obviously just telling you what you wanted to hear. Because you clearly weren't interested.

like,
what i am trying to say is...
look whatever people are into. who is another to judge?

Yes, it is. She did absolutely nothing except discuss her kink with others and hide it from you. Why did she hide it from you? Because you think it's perverted and it means she wants to sleep with loads of other men. That's paranoia. Instead of talking to her about it, her desires and confusion, you decided that swinging means your gf was going to have sex with other guys. That's paranoid.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 02:50AM

Shelly,
what if i said "thats ok"

and she pertaked in an act.

then what?
Instead of telling me how i should of handled this situation. How would you react?
From your name shelly, i imagine you are a girl. What if a guy you were with was saying what i said above? that he was clearly interested in sex orgies and interested in becoming friends with people who pertake.

what if you were cool with it and he did something?

would you not feel like a fool for giving blind trust?

I guess the whole point of this topic is to see, what is. to give someone 100% trust.
But dont we live in a world of liars and cheats? of course not everyone is. But reading upon situations is the key.

but thats the point. to read a situation. to give trust 100% because they have no bad intention, or to give it foolishnessly.

So what is it?
I'm parnanoid not to trust her if she doesnt do anything?
but if she did - "i was foolish to give trust"

this whole topic is, pretty much about reading and what is the best way to react.

Mr. Incognito · 08-01-2010 03:22AM

Hold on here a second.

His girlfriend wants a threesome with another woman.

Boyfriend outlines he is not comfortable with it but will go with it if she wants.

Girlfriend is openly courting fellas for swinging parties.

She has two choices- either she can knuckle down and be monogomous or break up with her boyfriend to go explore her sexuality.

She choose the latter. It's not your fault for wanting an monogomous relationship, it's just she doesn't.

Not compatable needs at the moment.

I'd cut her off and trust me she'll find that the reality never matches the fiction and it'll be out of her system.

Whether you want to take her back at that stage or not will be up to you.

Personally I'd tell her to take a hike. Blaming the break up on you for being paranoid is a childish excuse- if she was being honest she'd just say I want to be single to go swing and see what it's like

Dublin141 · 08-01-2010 05:27AM

What I'm getting from it is that the girl is curious, maybe threesomes/orgies are something in her range of fantasy. Maybe she wants to partake, maybe she's afraid to, maybe she just likes hearing about it. For any of these suggestions, it's entirely plausible that she speaks about these things with like minded people, I think that's quite normal for anyone with a similar interest or anyone who is curious about something new. She doesn't know if she's interested in acting out so she tells you what she thinks you want to hear. She was interested in or had talked about swinging long before she met you and obviously it wasn't something she could talk to you about comfortably - I mean, you called it a perversion in your initial post.

She wasn't comfortable with the Jack person because of what he was trying to gain from her not that he was a swinger. It was a big mistake to argue with her about his intentions. She's a young impressionable girl, my first reaction would have been that he was in the wrong and not her. I think you misread that whole situation completely. You were pissed that this older man seemed to be practically grooming your girlfriend for a 3some with him and his wife but you took your anger out on the wrong person.

I think it's pretty clear that she's been interested or curious in this kind of thing for a long time but hasn't had the nerve to discuss it with you openly for fear of your reaction. I don't know what you're like in real life, it's just in your post you seem kind of disgusted with it all and maybe she sensed that from you and lied so you wouldn't be disgusted with her. People in relationships lie to make the other person feel better, going over and over it in your head isn't going to change that.

I don't think this is the girl for you anyway. You both have completely different ideas of what is acceptable and/or normal behaviour. You aren't happy with how she has acted and she obviously isn't happy with how you've reacted if she's saying you're paranoid which I'm inclined to agree with, sorry. You were only together 6 months or so, chalk it up to an experience and let it go. Find someone you are compatible with and let her do the same. You're just going to drive yourself mad with this stuff. Next time be a bit more broad-minded and a little less insecure. Just because someone has an interest in something doesn't mean they are going to follow through. And remember that you're on your high horse about your ex now but you did agree to try out a 3some with her, as long as it involved another girl and not a man, I just find that a bit hypocritical. And by the way, she backed out of that so I don't know why you seem to be assuming she's going to be doing it with other people behind your back.

Kimia · 08-01-2010 09:21AM

OP the word you're looking for is 'apparently' or 'allegedly', not 'accordingly'.

Also, I would have a problem with my boyfriend giving his number out to strange ladies on public transport if I'm honest.

Have you had a frank discussion with her?

kittenkiller · 08-01-2010 09:59AM

Just because you're not interested in doing something doesn't mean your girlfriend can't be!
If you fantasize about two girls it doesn't mean your ex needs to think it's great and want to be with two girls too.
Same with you and her fantasies!

She's been open and honest with you so far yet you've punished her by dumping her.
If you ever get back together I'd make sure that you never repeat this behaviour or she'll know she can never be honest with you again.

She can't dictate what other people talk to her about!
She can't refuse to speak to anyone who might have a sex life that's out of the ordinary either.

Do you think that she's flirting with these people for attention?
Do you think she's going to go behind your back with anyone male or female?
Do you think that just because you're not into the stuff she is that she needs to burn it our of her mind?

You're coming across as quite insecure and untrusting.
I think you need to sit down and figure out what exactly your issue is.
Leave your ex alone in the mean time.
Once she's over you she's probably going to have a whale of a time!

calahans · 08-01-2010 10:15AM

OP - you need to end you contact with this girl. You may love her but she is going to wreck your head. She may just even like flirting with older guys.

Most people would be unhappy with their partners giving out their number to people of the opposite sex.

Don't feel guilty about anything. You have done the right thing. You tried to make a relationship work but it wont as you are not compatible.

You might even get an STD for your troubles!

I'd hardly say she was open and honest, she told the OP she wasn't interested in pursuing any of this yet her actions suggest otherwise.

Would you say it's normal for a girl with a partner to engage in conversation about sex, swingers, etc with a stranger they only met 45 mins previously on the bus? Talking with someone works both ways - if she didn't want to discuss the topic of sex with a stranger, she could have politely asked him to leave her alone, or change the topic. She didn't. I for one would not appreciate my girlfriend having a conversation about sexual interests with an absolute stranger of the opposite sex who then gives her his number - there are boundaries which shouldn't be crossed.

Do you think that she's flirting with these people for attention?
Do you think she's going to go behind your back with anyone male or female?
Do you think that just because you're not into the stuff she is that she needs to burn it our of her mind?

Part of being in an adult relationship is learning to accept that you can't just do whatever you like, whenever you like without consideration for your partner. Unless both parties in a relationship are fully happy to engage in threesomes, swinging, etc, it will never work.

You're coming across as quite insecure and untrusting.
I think you need to sit down and figure out what exactly your issue is.
Leave your ex alone in the mean time.

I think the OP has made it clear he simply wants a one on one relationship with his ex, just like the majority of couples. If he's coming across as insecure and untrusting, I would suggest that's a direct result of her actions - namely, giving out her telephone number to strangers, engaging in conversations about swinging and threesomes on more than one occasion yet denying any interest in it, claiming she may be bisexual one minute but not the next ................................................... the OP has been open and transparent about how he feels but his ex has not.

Once she's over you she's probably going to have a whale of a time!

That's just a bit of a childish thing to say.

Except where the OP was up for the two girl threesome she was suggested!
His ex is only 20 and is intrigued by that side of herself and interested to find out more.
She has been open about being bi-curious and the OP was very understanding both at the suggestion of the threesome and the subsequent decision to avoid it.
She hasn't cheated, only spoken to people who are involved in a more adventurous sex-scene and then told her bf about it!

LegacyUser · 08-01-2010 11:37AM

OP I understand why u are pissed off and think you have every right to be.

But you did say you are 25 she is 20. I am 24 and was involved with a 20 year old not too long ago. I have always maintained that age doesnt matter and to an extent I still do. Ive been involved with girls older and younger and have found the maturity levels turned on their heads in some cases.

But, without going into detail, things ended with the 20 year old I was seeing and it was fine, but I found a couple of things out since that made me think WTF! The only thing I could put it down to is immaturity on her part and I have to say it sounds like your girl may be a bit too.

Now when I was with my girl, the age thing never came into things at all, it genuinley wasnt a problem. It's just on reflection that I realised she hadnt the maturity to deal with things that I would expect of someone my age. It doesnt make her a bad person, its just the way things are.

Im not saying this will be true of every relationship between people of similar age gaps, in fact another girl I was with of a similar age was perhaps the most mature, but from reading your post I think this could be the issue. Just put it down to experience, as hard as that may sound now.

OP, you seem adamant that she isn't bi..

My impression is she isn't so sure. In fact I think she's very unsure, and is trying to tell you, but you're not listening, so she is telling you what you want to hear but still trying to hint at you that she might be.

Do you know what I mean?

She's young. She's curious. There's a chance she's not 100%, and she was hoping (after 6 months, of what you seem to consider a serious relationship) that she could at least discuss it, and possibly explore it with you.

I think there's a very good chance that she is bi - but is finding it very hard to admit it. And your reaction to her isn't going to make it any easier for her to "come out" to others who are close to her.

If you're not into it that's fine. But don't let her feel that she is doing anything wrong. She's young. She's "finding herself"(!) at the moment, if you don't want to be part of that, that's fine. You're not wrong. But neither is she. Ok, maybe she shouldn't have been in a "serious relationship" while doing this. But now that you are split up, leave her too it and wish her well.

Then find someone, who you is more into what you are into.

update:

we've been broken up for about just over a week now.

i tried ringing her today but she wont talk to me. she will just pick up the phone and act like shes not there but you can hear breathing - such a childish thing to do. like pick up and speak or dont pick up at all.
but i have found out through friends she has indeed met the luas guy mike. she has already meet him! ... for what?
which, leads to believe. she probably already has had sex with him. The conversation they had was about sex after all. as stated above in this thread, a person with a partner shouldnt talk about sex with a stranger.

i'm leaving something out of the whole story i said. See my ex is going home. In fact, we both agreed upon staying together until she went away. of course, that was said in november/december when she didnt know when she was going home exactly, but now she does. appears to be soon. (within the next week)

i remember her telling me that she wanted to continue until she gets on the plane. At first I was unsure as she said something cold to me, but i agreed. I cant help but feel that now she knows the exact date shes going home (and i believe shes known that for the last few weeks, even when i was with her) - so all bets are off now? She is going home. I feel like i've served my purpose. By her own words her life could be boring. Just going to the library all day. I cant help but feel all i was used for was to have a bit more of a life. I mean I paid for everything.
Now that shes going home why not pertake in her fantasies. Although even up to a few weeks ago "that wasnt something she was interested in" (of course her actions say otherwise)

feel used.

and example of this would be starting a thread on boards perhaps??

OP put this one down to different strokes for different folks and move on to find a more like minded partner to share your bed with.

Dont get bitter, it serves no purpose and she wont even have a clue you are. Its sh1t you feel used yes, but if you put her into the "stuff you lady" pile and forget about her, you will feel better about yourself and life soon.

To me it doesn't sound like a real relationship if one or other is talking about swinging etc. Sounds more a partnership of convenience. Having read some of these posts about swingers etc you would have to wonder if the posters are being disingenuous

She probably had sex with him because they had a previous discussion about sex?

Now that is paranoid.

OP, you sound like you are on completely different wavelengths sexually & experimentally - the break up is probably for the best & at least it was after 6 months and not 6 years. I think you are both better off finding people that share your idea of what constitutes a relationship boundary. Best of luck.
