What do you think I should expect at this so called "Couples Party"?

Question

My husband and I were invited to a "Couples Party" by one of his golf/poker buddies. My husband made a point of calling it a "Couples Party" when he told me about it, and makes a point of calling it that everytime it comes up.

I met the host of the party once or twice when he came to do work on our house, and I know one other couple that will be there. They make a point of calling this a "Couples Party" when talking about it as well. My husband and the other couple know everyone that have been invited, and it seems as though I've been left to go to this party 'blind'.

Am I reading too much into this, or is there something peculiar about this invitation? i.e. Key Party, Swinging

....please, spare me your sarcastic, facetious remarks.

Answer 1

Have you confronted your husband about this? It seems to me to be pretty callous to "invite" someone to something like a swinging party when you don't know.  The experience could be really traumatic depending on how they may pressure you to participate.

Even when you are married, remember you have your own body sovereignty, no one has a right to make you do something you don't want to do or feel comfortable doing.  Marriage is not a license for someone to stop respecting you as a person in your own right.

I'd be highly suspicious as well and make sure I had a way out if things got too weird.

Answer 2

sounds fun. enjoy just know what you won't do that simple

Answer 3

It sounds like a swingers party to me.

Incidentally, facetious is the only word in the english language that has all 5 vowels in order.

Good luck at your party.

Answer 4

Be like... What in the world do you mean by "couple's party" and why do you keep referring to it that way? Period.  

Answer 5

Yeah that does sound kind of strange. Why don't you just ask your husband straight out if it is one of those swinger things?

Answer 6

def sounds like a swingers party...

has your hubby not discussed this  more with you?  and asked your opinion on attending such a thing?

Answer 7

He is your husband, why not ask HIM? What's the harm in that? Perhaps the wording is just that...wording. You seem to be making a big deal out of this without asking the obvious question.

Answer 8

yes my dear it is a "swingers party" but i think you already knew that.  But please think about it before you instantly say no, it can make your relationship with your husband more special and bring you to a closeness that will never be reached by conventional methods.

Answer 9

Any "couples party" that I have personally heard of....are parties for couples to swing at.....It is just another word to describe a Swingers Party....

Answer 10

sounds like it to me. hey...you know what you our comfortable doing. if you dont you dont if you do you do. good luck sounds like fun
