I'm in the middle of deciding whether or not giving up my family because my wife wants to swing. <P>She has been swinging with my knowledge. At first I thought I couldn't handle it but as the months go on... Her love for me and the family life remains stellar. How could I throw it all away? She has some major issues from her parenting. Her mother had a 10 year affair with a doctor and the repercussions may be manifesting. She's been in therapy but her physical condition with back pain etc and her meds all make the swinging event a possible solution to her mental stability. <P>I'd like some guidance on this issue. I'm a good looking guy with a fabulous career but our large family might not survive this at all if I make it all known...<P>Thanks in advance!<BR>Mark<BR>

Ok, I may be a little naive. But swinging as an open affair? <P>If this is the case, get away. If you can't be loved and appreciated for all of who you are...you are not getting what you deserve.<P>Your family has been there for you thick and thin, and will remain so. But I couldn't stand the disrespect if I allowed what is going on in your marriage from them.<P>Get a hold of self repsect and move on. <P>Get treated like you should be.<P>

I am appreciated for who I am. I am quite happy with her being a wife in the family terminology albeit that one booboo she is wearing is formidable.<P>The impact on the kids would be too much. It is NOT an option yet...<P><BR>She treats me like a king. I know it sounds puzzling and at my ripe old age.. I don't want to start over.<P>I'm just looking for inspiration.<P>Mark<P>
