My partner (m) and I (f) have been swinging for a couple of years now. For context, Iām fully bi, known Iām bi since I was in middle school, and have casually dated woman in the past. (Not sure if thatās relevant or not) Weāve had many foursome mfmfās and a few fmfās. I stopped enjoying the fmfās largely because we were meeting mostly pillow princesses or ābi for the guyā types and it just didnāt work for me anymoreā¦. And thenā¦ We went to a swingers club and we bumped into this woman who is a complete smoke show. The woman everyone in the room was dying to talk to. European, worldly, sophisticated, intelligent, confident, the whole package. Once I calmed down my giggling to everything she said, we hit it off and find a room for fun (with my partner). Full three way fun. Mind blowing stuff I hope to look over and say to my partner when weāre old (do you remember her? And just wink and share a laugh about the good ol days) I am seriously hard crushing on her now. Obsessivelyā¦ we have exchanged a few texts since this weekend. I canāt stop thinking about her! Total and complete limerenceā¦ I know the feeling will fade, sadly. My partner said he was fine with me having a gf but now Iām a little unsure given my feelings are so strong for this one. If he was crushing on a woman Iām sure Iād have to work on my feelings around it so not sure I should be a double standard. Any other woman out there had this happen? Full girl girl crush? Just ride it out and have fun? Block and burn to protect the relationship? Become a U-Haul les? lol
In my mind any deep romantic involvement means you are moving towards a poly/open dynamic. It makes little difference if itās a guy or a girl. Your partner might feel more secure because of gender norms and biases, but the risk to your relationship health is still there. As someone wise once told me, your love might be infinite but your assets (e.g. time) is limited. Have deeper discussions setting gender aside for a sec.
