Re: Girls from Playboy TV's "Swing"
I don't recall the episode you guys are referring to but I do remember in some episodes where things didn't appear to go well or where the communication could have been better. We haven't known anybody in our relatively short time in the LS that's gotten divorced. We've known a few to take a step back and some to back out all-together but never separate over it. Not that it doesn't happen, I'm sure it does, we just don't know any personally.
To answer your question Priest, we didn't start in the lifestyle to strengthen our marriage. Our marriage was already strong but the lifestyle just made it that much better. Kind of like icing on a cake. We do admit though, it can be like playing with fire sometimes. Hormones can make you do some crazy shit! Letisha and I always said from the start though, if one of us ever says we want out, we're both out, no doubt about it. Our marriage to each other is the most important thing and we always have to put each other first. We even have a rule that if we aren't getting along or on good terms, we don't swing. We've backed out of parties at the very last minute because we were arguing or upset over something. We certainly have rules and we do a pretty good job at following them. Of course we're human and we make mistakes but what I tell everyone is, how you proceed after a fuck up will determine your fate int the LS. If you communicate with your partner and are honest, your relationship will survive. That may entail leaving the LS or it could be learning something new about your partner.
