Have you ever been the only one left out?
Even though I am not very social, I have a fear of being left out of situations involving exciting things, like nudity. It has happened to me twice. While it upsets me that I was left out, it gets me going when my wife brings it up, too:
Most recently, my wife and I were camping with her sister, sisters husband, and another couple, and my wife's parents. My wife's dad needed something in town, and I decided to drive him into town so that I could get a break from everyone. Well, it turned out that everyone else went skinny dipping when we were gone! This is a huge deal considering that my wife and her sister are total prudes, and my wife hates her sisters husband but they all let each other see them naked! The fact that two other guys saw my prudish wife naked when I wasn't there really makes me feel bad. And the fact my sister in law got naked in front of a guy that wasn't her husband when I missed out on seeing her makes me feel like crap, too. Of course i don't care that guys saw my wife, but I wasn't there to be part of it.
I asked my wife how it started, and the other couple suggested it and my wife and her sister and the other husband were in a weird mood. I know it happened because my wife was still in a towel when we got back and everyone's hair was wet.
My sister in law said she would have gone even if i were there, too. Oh, well!
A few years ago, I was with my wife and another couple and we were sharing a hotel room and we were going to change into swim suits. While my wife was already changing in front of everyone, they all made me leave while the other couple changed, but my wife got to stay. So, I was the only one who had to leave the room while the three of them changed in front of each other. It made me feel like crap, but I didn't want to start drama, so I just waited in the hallway until they came and got me. It was also weird that they just didn't take turns in the bathroom, but we all were in a huge hurry. I ended up changing after they were all done, and I changed in the room and they stared at me, so it was completely unfair.
It would be one thing if we were teenagers at the time, but we were grown adults for both these events.
Anyone else ever been the only person left out of something fun like this?
