There are not many accidents in what we say
. ( taking one for the team) he said that on porpuse. . There are some really smart people here that are experts in manipulating others. By him saying what he did, he is driving a wedge between you and them. In essence one is trying to break the couple into a single, I have seen this before. I would not play with that couple again. It is unfortunate that he did that. It had to hurt hearing that.
When we play we play as a couple. You either like us enough to treat us with the respect that we give you, or we do not play. When we play we put each other first. Yes there are differences in outward looks, but it is the personality that makes the person or couple.
As for taking one for the team is a overused statement that is demeaning and hurtful. It would be better if we did not use that term. Its hard to have the same attraction between four people, hell even in a couple's relationship there is a difference in attraction. I know I like my wife more than she likes me. We are just different when it comes to desire. I am hard pressed to compete with a man that has a 9 inch nail as my wife is hard pressed to match the looks of a woman that is younger than herself. We swing to meet new couples and experience new techniques. We do not do this to ever rip on another couple and judge them. I live by a model to do no harm. In fact I feel best when I am in a mutual admiration type of relationship. Life is hard enough without hearing crap like I am taking one for the team. Just saying taking one for the team is wrong it lessons the humility between participants and just causes too much unneeded strife.
Dont take on for the team. Make a new experience and see what you can glean for a new wonderful couple.
