I guess it depends how solid your marriage is and what the feelings are between you.
Hubby and I play separately ... however, it is the exception rather than the rule and it's only if we are both comfortable with the other person.
If your single playing is more than your married playing and you are meeting an individual more than different people, it could spell trouble at some point.
I don't think anyone can answer this specifically without knowing you.

My wife and I have been playing together and seperatley for a fair few years now. it certainly hasn't done our marrige any long as both of your are happy to play that way then there is nothing wrong with it at all, as for its not swinging, well who is to decide what is and isn't swinging ?
If that were our relationship then I would be concerned. We've got young children and so playtimes are difficult to arrange but we do manage something together at least once a month.
Luckily we've got a lock on our lounge door, and discreet baby monitors help to give a minute's warning should a child awake if we are intimate downstairs although we very rarely play at home. Could you arrange something similar perhaps?
The very best advice anyone here could give is to sit down and talk about it. The best swinging relationships are those where ALL the cards are on the table and nothing is hidden or not talked about.

we have always played as a cpl and we was fine with that but a few months ago we met a single guy at a party we was invited too and jane fancied the pants off him :shock: even though she has not gone for single guys before. this lead to jane going to a party with this gentleman without me for the first time and i am happy to say he was a total gentleman and looked after jane all nite. i am happy for jane to do whatever she wants while we are out playing and if she wanted to play with a single guy again well thats fine . .i cant say i ever thought jane would want to attend a party with somebody else its just never been discussed before but now she has i would have no problem with that
difficult one to answer "what is swinging" our thoughts are if you play in the same room or seperatly from time to time thats swinging however if you spend the night seperatly untill morning that could be classed as wife swapping, we believe things are less likley to go wrong whilst swinging particulaly if the same 4 are involved on a regular basis
i do belive that going solo "is swinging". Swinging is not swaping couples, it can be group fun, solo or anything.....

I think its what works for you, swinging comes in all forms, if you say a couple who plays alone are not swingers the surly all single men and women are not swingers either??
just a thought
We have played alone for a few years now, to me swinging is not about just what you get out of it, my hubby has met a few single str8 women who do not want to meet couples, for obvious reasons, and hes met couples who are after mmf 3sums, so is it fair on me to say no to him meeting her/them just cause she/they do not want to play with me? in my opinion no, i have a real liking for bi men, as my hubby is not bi i meet bi men alone, bi nights at clubs etc, and hes happy for me to be doing what i like, all cause its not for him he knows i enjoy it.
Personally i could not be in a swinging relationship where it was a case of.....if they don't want to meet me they not meeting you...... and we have met many people with that attitude, which is fine if thats what works for you but it wouldn't work for me.
just had to add to this thread, Me and Mr Tigs play as a couple ver very happily, but we also play alone. If I see someone, male or female that I fancy the pants or knickers off and want to play, so long as Mr Tigs has met them and we are all okay, then we play. The same goes for Mr Tigs. This also works with couples, if I want to join a couple as the fem and we have all met up, and the chemistry is there, then all systems go as to speak lol. Again same goes for Mr Tigs.
Our relationship is stronger than ever, and so long as you are alway Open, Honest and Truthful with your partner then there will never be a problem.
