Family Tree

With the holidays behind us and a few other comments I had no idea what I would write about this week. Sure we enjoy the Swinglifestyle and try to play as much as we can. But during the holidays family tends to overtake our playtime. And this year was no exception. When a relative reappeared after fifteen years a family holiday reunion was put together. Something I wasn’t looking forward to. Hours of socializing with the forgotten family tree and trying to hide our wife swapping lifestyle. Not to mention the fact that we now own our own swingers site.
It all started out the same, the hi’s how are you. Getting caught up on how all the family that you never see is doing.
Oh yeah, he just got out of jail. Nice tattoo huh?
No, she has cancer but the family is holding up fine.
Oh as for them, he got laid off a few months ago and now they’re struggling to keep the house.
Yeah, she did get implants; she got them put in sometime last year. I think they're saline.
Doesn't she look bad? I mean she was never pretty, but age has really not been kind to her - she looks like a monkey. He should never have married her.
Then it happened. We were introduced to some cousin we don’t really know and I get that gnawing feeling that I have seen him before. He brings his wife and kids over so we can meet them. We all start talking, I slip into conversation where do you work, live and do you travel much. From past experience we have learned that an outright question of “You look familiar, do we know you” can be very dangerous. You can get responses you don’t want shared around others like “yeah we were all naked in that Jacuzzi remember when you…”. So anyway the subtle questions didn’t ring any alarms so we all posed for a picture. You got to love digital cameras insert sarcasm here… cause that is when the alarm went off. The moment I looked at the photo on the camera it hit me. I have seen him on another site as a single male no less. Ahh, f**k, was the first thought ran through my mind. No I wasn’t worried if he recognized us. We keep our face photos private and only share those with those we are going to play with. The last thing we wanted was a moral dilemma at this event.
So the question becomes do we reveal this to his wife? Do we let him know we know what he is doing? If we do we will reveal ourselves in the process. Besides right now this is just an assumption we would have to go to the site to make sure. Do we even want to bother or get involved? Do we just delete our account on the site he is on I mean hell we don’t even use it? After all this isn’t the first married man playing single we have come across. Yeah this is family but that is worse if you get involved you can’t run away from the drama then. So what did we do? We spend the night avoiding them hanging out with other family members. What will we do? Who knows? We aren’t marriage counselors and is it really our place? There is more to this than one guys actions there is a whole family involved. Sure we have a lot experience in the swinglifestyle but does that make us experts on how to handle every situation? No… Sure everybody will have their own opinions of what we should do and who really knows what is the right or wrong thing to do. There is an old saying when you don’t know what to do, do nothing.
