people should have the decency not to die in places where others might want to have sex - most disrespectful of them
Try Xtasia and Chameleons - both very different. If you feel too reserved to mingle much at least you get to dance at Xtasia (which is enormous) and it has dark 'corners' where plenty of peeps are getting it on. The bar there is also good for striking up conversations with all sorts of folk. Chameleons is less regimented and very laid back - you can have a good laugh in the great big jacuzzi. Anyway, big welcome and hug. Hope you find what you are looking for and have a great time. x

What kazswallows says and a bit of tommi too . . . agree
quick answer:
your friend met her when *she was already depressed*. The time in her life when she became depressed becomes associated with her new lover. This is a tough break but very little he can do about it. He represents the onset of her depression, however unfair.
There might have been a 'make or break' point where he symbolised the knight in shining armour that rescues her, but it didn't happen. The ex-husband holds too many cards. He knows her inside out. Major bad move crossing him.
Right now it will seem like his world that was in his hands has just been passed to another ball player out of sight mid-field. As a (non-romantically-involved) friend you can be there in a supportive capacity. Just let him know you are there to listen if he needs to talk. You don't have to do anything else. You don't have to supply answers - there probably aren't any anyway. But he may remember and treasure a friend who valued him when the person whose opinion he valued more than anyone in the world basically said you're not worth even talking to.
Feel special that he values you to confide in at his darkest moment. He's probably bared his soul. Value that and be there as a listening ear. (If he goes on too long, as he might, just draw a distinction in the conversation - ten mins listening time then "so let me tell you about what I've been doing . . .") Your his friend, not The Samaritans.
ok . . . probably meaningless to everybody else . . . but got press acreditation today, which means I get (free) entrance to movies world wide yippee!!

Simple answer: That's the time to stop. It's natural, it usually happens, it's usually fantasy. Your regular partner is predictable - where's the magic and mystery in that? The trick is to use the experience of magic and mystery you get from swinging as flavouring for the love life with your regular partner.
There's other options of course, total disaster included. You could ask yourself some hard questions (the answers at this stage might not make any difference but . . . )
Do you really love your partner?
Do you want to risk everything (and going off with your new lover risk the possibility/ probability that the novelty will wear off soon)?
Do you want to make it work with your partner - if so, what are you going to do about it?
Is the swinging lifestyle for you? (It's not for everyone).
Human answer - you're in a bind and don't know what to do. All the good advice in the world will probably not mean squat, especially if you are gripped by passion and uncontrolled emotion. And who is anyone else to give advice? You might go against all common sense and it could turn out to be the match made in heaven (unlikely, but quite possible). You have to work it out yourself, but the scenario sounds quite common - it's similar to just having an affair. If you've a close friend who's been swinging for a while try talking it over with them.
Good luck {hug}
