Having dabbled a little in the swinging lifestyle recently, it seems to me anyway, that swinging really makes you face YOURSELF....you question what it is you really want, what it is that really does matter. It seems like Betty is doing exactly this...trying to figure out what exactly she wants. It is actually wise for her to ask for some space to sort out her feelings, rather than rushing into another relationship that may or may not be based on good decision making. As much as you love her and fear that the space apart indicates a possible future apart, in the long run, if your relationship is based on common interests, goals, priorities, and wants out of life, then the space apart will just be time for her to clear her mind and figure some things out.

You should continue to be yourself.....don't you think? Don't you want to be loved and accepted for who you are, and not who you think you should be to accomodate someone else?

Anyway, not sure how great my advice is, as my own marriage has hit a rough spot recently, but somehow it's always easier to dole out the advice than it is to see clearly our own situations! LOL
