**We often get emails from customers who want to share their excitement about meeting others because of our jewelry. Here is one we received that shows another side to swinging and open marriages.
Dear Partners ID,
My wife and I have been happily married for over 25 years. With our children now grown and living in another state, we’ve enjoyed exploring the lifestyle together for the past eight years. We’ve mostly been what you might call "traditional swingers," frequenting resorts, hotel takeovers, and engaging with other couples—occasionally including a single male or female.
About six months ago, while out for dinner, we were discussing plans for my upcoming birthday. As our waitress brought our drinks, I noticed something that stopped me in my tracks—she was wearing a Partners ID necklace! I was instantly both shocked and excited. When she walked away, I turned to my wife and asked if she had noticed. She was too busy studying the menu and hadn’t even looked up!
The waitress was very attractive, and suddenly, my mind was racing. Just moments earlier, my wife had asked what I wanted for my birthday, and now I had my answer. We've always had a strong, open, and honest relationship, free of jealousy, so I decided to be upfront.
I told my wife that for my birthday, I wanted a girlfriend experience—not a long-term relationship, just a fun, one-night experience. My wife saw it more as a "date" than a girlfriend, and she wanted to understand exactly what I had in mind.
I described the thrill of meeting a woman in a hotel lobby, having drinks at the bar, and then checking in together—enjoying that teasing anticipation of wanting each other but having to wait just a little longer. It wasn’t about replacing anything with my wife—I love being with her—but after 25 years and three kids, there are certain kinds of excitement that naturally fade.
She giggled and agreed that it was a great idea for a birthday gift! Now, I just had to find out if the waitress would be interested.
When she returned with our entrees, I pointed out that we had the same necklace. She laughed, playfully scolded us for not wearing ours, and mentioned that we weren’t the only customers who had noticed hers. Since the restaurant was slowing down for the night, I asked if she could sit with us for a bit. She said she couldn’t, but invited us to meet her at a bar across the street after her shift.
An hour later, we found ourselves chatting in a small booth, getting to know each other. After about 30 minutes, I finally got to the point. At first, she seemed unsure—she explained that while she was a swinger and a unicorn, we were still strangers, and she wasn’t comfortable jumping in right away. My wife suggested that we come back to the restaurant a few more times so she could get to know us better.
Long story short? It worked! After a few casual meetups, she agreed, and we made it happen. It was everything I had hoped for and more! But the best part? Through those meetings, she and my wife really hit it off. So much so that next weekend, the three of us will be meeting at a hotel together.
I just wanted to say thank you—for making this the best birthday I’ve ever had! Your jewelry truly works, and we couldn’t be happier.
Best,
TJ and Rachel
Houston, TX
