GWS69 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Recently been approached by a longtime friend (also married) about augmenting our relationship, but neither one of is affluent. Can’t do it at home, neighbors and all that. Also, while neither one of us has a problem with the great outdoors, living in Florida has its own issues, bugs, weather, heat, etc.. The hotel route would be comfortable but there are issues with that, cost and the awkwardness of renting a room in your own home town. Aside from her Ford Fiesta or my family van, anyone figured out a comfortable alternative? Link to post Share on other sites
guest569 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Why can’t you at home? Is this an affair? Link to post Share on other sites
Author GWS69 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 I thought I was being rather explicit, "also married", "neighbors" ... No, FWB at home is not an option for either of us. Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Clavel Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 buy a tent. a decent size one that's roomy and practice putting it up. get a soft downy blankie, try mink or leopard, and put it down inside. zit it up to keep out the bugs and prying eyes. keep it in the car. get a kit bag with extra stuff in it. first aid kit, lub, condoms, washcloths. some state parks will let you rent a spot for overnights. so you can put up the tent and leave and go back. unobserved. the cost is low and most times they have showers and electric nearby. on the other hand, if you get caught, bugs and heat are gonna seem tame.

Author GWS69 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Miss C, thanks for the constructive suggestion, but for all that trouble I think I'd find a cheap hotel more comfortable, probably have just as many bugs. Link to post Share on other sites
lurker74 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I don't care if you have an affair other than to say it won't be the happy event that you were hoping...just go over to the OW/OM forum if you doubt that. But as to your question, you have painted yourself into a corner. If a hotel is too costly, then a shared apartment is too. So either decide it's worth the cost of the hotel or decide it's really not worth the cost at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Offer your services to house sit for someone. There you have a place and earn extra cash doing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Author GWS69 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 First, I'd like to thank the moderator for keeping this discourse civil as it should be. I'm glad it is maintained as an open discussion on all levels of interpersonal relationships. I am sorry I presented this without justification, but I'm not going to elaborate on personal/medical conditions. The underlying question is how to manage a situation and keep everyone, the best word I got is 'comfortable'. lurker, you are absolutely right and I've weighed that question heavily. I have gone through the OW/OM forum and will read more. smackie, that is an amazing idea, but I'm not interested in imposing my situation on another. Link to post Share on other sites
