Lightly cleaned for reading. Nothing added.
Happy: Hi, everyone. Thank you for being here. If you're just listening quietly tonight, that's perfect. We are introverts too.
Happy: A quick version: my husband and I met in 1994 and we married in 1999. 32 years together, 27 years married this May. The same day my book came out was our last wedding anniversary.
Happy: And on January 1st, 2016, after 17 years of marriage, we made a New Year's resolution that changed our whole life. Let's just say that my husband opened up Pandora's box, and I'm not really ever going to shut it.
Happy: The part that people do not expect from us is we are not party people. Like I said, we are introverts. We never really did the clubs or meet and greets. We've tried a lot of dating apps over the years, and most of the real connections came from people messaging me from my sites.
Happy: And almost every one of those messages had the same question hiding underneath it. Is this real? Does anybody actually live like this and stay married and happy? Absolutely. And that is why this room exists.
Happy: I was the hesitant one for years. He brought this up when we were young and I was not ready, for a lot of reasons. So if you're the wife sitting here, not sure, I was you. Nobody in here needs to decide anything. You can just be here, read, listen, and see that you're not the only one.
Happy: And the husbands: there was never anywhere for men to talk about this honestly. The internet gives you fantasy and p*rn and nobody to actually ask. We wanted a place where a man can finally say the thing he has been carrying and hear back from a man who has lived it. And that man is my husband, and I'm going to let him tell you himself.
Her husband: Wow, that was good, babe. Thank you. She covered about all of it, pretty much. Like she said, we're introverts. This is the first time, and I'm not a great public speaker. We'll get better.
Her husband: Like she said, we never really got into the parties. We did do a couple, but it's hard to talk. And then as a Hotwife couple, sometimes I guess people are just afraid to come up and talk. I kind of have a face on me. She says it's not the most welcoming sometimes, but that's just me. So we're trying to find other ways around it.
Her husband: We wanted some place for people to feel like they're not the only ones. We started 10 years ago and didn't know anybody. We just kind of figured it out as we went. She started the Happy Hotwife profile shortly after we started, but that was like the other world. That's pretty much our introduction. We can open it up to questions.
Her husband: We were talking about how we're trying to build a space for people, and we know the commitment that's involved in all this. Happy's been on here since 2021. From 2021 to 2024 she was on here every day, managing crypto communities. Those kinds of communities are what we're trying to build something like, because she got really close and met a lot of people from everywhere.
Her husband: This will be some place where real people can talk. You're not going to get a bot in here. As you know, you have to pay to get in here, so people are here because they have the same mindset. Not here to judge. Just want to see what everybody else is doing, see what's for them and what's not.
Her husband: We're not trying to push anything on anybody. Just sharing what we do and what we've done, and looking to see what other people have done or do. Shoot, we may be missing out on something we don't even know about yet. You don't know what you don't know. And we're not experts. We're just here trying to provide a platform, share our stories and learn about others.
Happy: Yes, absolutely. We wish there was something like this when we had just begun, and there was nothing. So we basically used Tumblr to start the Hotwife style between us, because it was hard to talk about. We shared our fantasies through Tumblr to each other: I like this, how about you? That's how we learned more about each other.
Happy: Even though we've been married for so long, it didn't 100% mean we knew each other sexually. We have four kids, and they're not really kids anymore. But at that time, it was something that was fun to learn about. And the excitement has grown, and we want to share what we have and what others can have.
Happy: I'm not one to be a speaker, and I definitely have a lot of squirrels to chase. But I do my best to respond to any questions anyone has, throughout the day and throughout the night.
Her husband: And I'll be here to do the same for anybody who has anything like that. We're both here. It's a joint project. We're working together.
Happy: Yeah, we're normal. Well, kind of. What is normal? That's the question.
Questions this answers
Is the Hotwife lifestyle real?
Yes. We have been together since 1994 and married since 1999, and we have lived the Hotwife lifestyle on purpose since January 1st, 2016. We are still married and still happy. The internet mostly shows the fantasy version. The real version is slower, more particular, and lives inside a real marriage.
Do Hotwife couples have to be party people?
No. We are introverts. We never really did the clubs or meet and greets. Most of our real connections came from people who messaged me first.
What if the wife isn't sure?
I was the hesitant one for years. My husband brought it up when we were young and I was not ready. Nobody has to decide anything. Listening to a real couple, and seeing you are not the only one, is a fine place to start.
How did you start talking about it?
It was hard to say out loud, so we shared fantasies on a private Tumblr. If he liked something, I could see it without him saying a word, and if I liked it too, I posted it. That is how we learned we were on the same page.
