Married Male, 29: Life has been going great. I have a loving wife, a beautiful 2-year-old son, and a strong, intimate bond with my partner. Everything seemed perfect, until recently.
A year ago, I introduced my wife to chatting on certain apps, something I used to do casually. It started as a fun way to spice things up between us, and soon, we came across a couple on Instagram-a pair just like us, with young twins. We hit it off, and group chats turned into audio calls. What began as harmless conversations about life and relationships slowly evolved into discussions about swapping.
At first, it was just talks, something I thought would never go beyond words. But over time, the connection deepened. My wife began chatting more with the husband, while I grew closer to the wife. It felt thrilling, and, oddly enough, it even brought more excitement into our marriage. Yet now, all three of them my wife, and the other couple are eager for a real-life meeting.
I never thought it would reach this point. While my wife and I love each other deeply, she seems even more excited than me about meeting the other husband. I’m torn because I fear this meeting could shake the foundation of our happy life. I want to back out without hurting anyone, but it feels like I’ve set something in motion that I can no longer control.
