Couple friends, sounds kind of simple but...

My long-term girlfriend and I are seeking couple friends, in the swinging lifestyle. Meanwhile she found a married man, who is also in the lifestyle that she really clicks with. His wife and I don’t click on any level friendship or otherwise. Knowing that the only way she can see him is to bring separate play into the equation. She and I are currently "playing separately" as far as our swinging acquaintances understand. But because we are sharing both a sexual and emotional bond that last more than one night we both understand that we are much closer to living a polyamorous lifestyle. This is something new and challenging for both of us.

At first it was just me but now we both are concerned about the strength of our sexual ties and the longevity of our relationship. During some of our first lengthy discussions, I shared with her that I felt the only way I would feel comfortable seeking separate play would be with single women. My reason, I simply would not want to potentially stir up the kind of issues we have had in another couples relationship. Now, after recently calling, a new single female friend to meet. We are now BOTH feeling a need to reconnect and do not know quite how to get those strong couple feelings back , any suggestions.

I didn't really follow that. Are you saying your swinging has sort of made you grow apart and now you're looking for a way to reconnect as a couple?
