Description:

and by partner it could mean, spouse, boss, friend, pet...basically someone that is in a close personal relationship with a good friend, sibling, parent etc of yours.

the idea for this swap is to vent...but hopeful in a productive way that allows, us, the writer to put on paper our thoughts, feelings, frustrations about someone that is involved with someone that we care about. you know sometimes we just dont like or approve or for some reason. our best friends fiance, husband, wife, cat...they may love them...but us...nope. something just doesnt sit right. and the reason that we dont like them or like them for one of our people is because...they may come across as controling or non-commiting or unloving or sneaky...or there is just "something" that we cant quite explain? well lets try. if only to explain it to our swap partner. dont be afraid to use humour, examples etc.

do you know those people i am talking about? the kind that we wish we could warn our nearest and dearest about because things just dont "seem right?" but we know in our heart of hearts that we cant really say anything because it will not go over well? well, this letter swap is about putting on paper our hesitation about that certain someones someone :)

i hope this makes sence. it will be a letter to our swap partner detailing oour concerns. tell your swap parnter which friend you are talking about, your relationship to them and then write about the concerns for your friend. in all likelyhood we will not actually give these to our friends/family but who knows, in writing this letter maybe we will gain insight into why we have these concerns which may become stronger or less so with exploration and the action of putting them on paper.

you will have one partner, will write/type a card or letter telling your swap partner your concerns, justify yourself and your feelings, vent, have it out safely. explore your frustration or fear or just plain dislike. explain why.

and if the swap partner is so inclined...maybe they will write you back validating your thoughts and feelings, maybe they will share their own story. (this is not manditory, just an idea)

keep in mind that in the letters you get...it is only one side of the story...but sometimes that side needs to be told! international swap no rating lower than 4.8 newbies with detailed profile allowed

I'm indifferent about 1 letter or 2, but I think it may be too late to change the swap guidelines.

did not get consensus for increasing the number of people we share our letter with so it will stay as is! enjoy purging and sharing your thoughts!
