I agree with denu on this. I'm 24/7 and I still have my normal life. I've been isolated, where I had no friends and where I didn't have my family to turn to, where I was almost under lock and key at all times. And that was in a vanilla marriage of 10 years. And even though I am 24/7 only a few people know that I am in the lifestyle. But then again I'm a private person and others only know what I want them to know. Is it absolutely necessary for your well-being that others know how you are lviing your life? Do you feel that if your friends and family don't know that you are living a lie and not being true to yourself?

Not so much my family since we don't have the type of relationship for sharing, but my closest friends know everything about me. I know everything about them, too. It just surprised me that swingers and kinksters would have a negative attitude about what I'm doing. I find it a little unfair that I've been accepting of their choices but unable to discuss my own without negativity. Hence, we haven't been talking very much because I hate feeling as if I have to hold back to keep the peace whereas I've always been able to be open and honest before.
