Want to try swinging or a threesome but don’t know how to ask partner

Not child-related, sorry! So I have never been able to fully explore my sexuality. I’m pretty certain I’m bi and I’ve told my partner that but I’ve never been with a woman. I also feel like I am a lot more adventurous or experimental than him in the bedroom. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with our sex or our sexlife whatsoever, I just feel like we’re in our 30s and I’d like to experiment by inviting other people into the bedroom with us whilst we are still relatively young lol but my partner has always been very insecure about this subject. He worries he’s not good enough for me sexually (when in fact he is a gorgeous professional rugby player who is WAY out of my league) and he doesn’t seem keen on the idea of a threesome at all when I’ve mentioned it fleetingly. It’s something I feel like he would enjoy if he actually did it but how do I bring up this conversation properly? And for any couples who have been in this position and tried it, do you have any advice?

I think the best thing you can do is be straightforward. Just let him know you enjoy your sex life, but feel like you weren't able to fully explore your sexuality before, and you would like to do that exploring now with him by bringing in another person. The main thing is to respect his feelings/boundaries. If he says he's not interested, do not push. Even if you really do believe that he will enjoy it, it's not your call to make for him.

I physically couldn’t do it when I have a partner. It would wind me up him touching her or watch her. Each to their own. But I feel that if your partner is saying no to another girl then he must really love and respect you because other lads would jump straight to it. To me it feels like cheating even if the partner is there and involved. I would be thinking is she/ he enjoying it more with them, why they staring more at them than me ect so I physically couldn’t do it because I’d end up in jail for beating them both up even if it was my idea 😂

I was the one to bring it up to my fiance and honestly after the first one I was hooked LOL. He was iffy but if you can have that open transparent conversation of this is something I'd like to try and if it isn't his thing after you've tried it I wouldn't push.
But you could definitely reassure him exactly the way you said In the post how he is out of your league, make sure you have a safe word or a word to say to each other if there is something happening that either arent comfy with! Communication is the biggest factor when you're exploring together! I hope it works out for you! 💖

Like what? I’m genuinely curious

Ooo a few years ago I asked my husband if he had any fantasies. He said a threesome and it definitely hurt. I can’t do that for him, my heart would fall apart seeing him touch another women. Maybe start with validating how good he is. And start adding more kinky things in to your regular sex. If he opens up to new simple things he might open up to another person. This is really tough.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
