Hi all- I'm so glad I found this site! I am a slut-long-term-girlfriend(wife-in-my-dreams) with a cuckold who doesn't act like he appreciates me! He wants me to go fuck (and I have, and do...) but doesn't want to take the time to give me the emotional support I need afterwards. He just wants to stroke it while I tell him about it...
He wants me to emotionally cuckold him too, and this is not fulfilling for me (unless I turn the relationship into an 'open relationship, where he is one of many and not my one-true-love-partner- see 'The Ethical Slut' a GREAT book!). I have always had an image of a really tight emotional bond with my partner, and I think his view of this is very different than mine. BTW, he doesn't help around the house very much, he rarely wants to go anywhere with me, or even snuggle or sit on the couch with me! He says he loves me, and wants me to have everything I want in life. It turns him on to see me happy, busy, and fulfilled without him in my life! Like he should be my side thing when I have time!
Now, I acknowledge that I am a little bit of a co-dependent (as I am beginning to understand it), and may need to back of off my emotional needs as relates to him for a more healthy life (together or not), but how do I get him to understand that I need certain things to give him what he wants. And yes, I have told him in a communicative conversation, tried to 'dominate' him into it (he also is very controlling about his d**k- he won't let me touch it unless its to suck it every once in a while!!! We barely ever make out, and if it is it is ALWAYS about cucking! There is never any other fantasy or play, or even straight up doing it! And I like all types of sex...
As you might have surmised, I am not naturally an outgoing dominant- I can be that in a persona/character kind of way, and be it authentically, but to live it 24/7? I am just not that person... though I do enjoy the idea of it And I DO want to grow into more of that part of my personality, so I am using this as a growing challenge. But I shouldn't have to change completely; how can I get him to give me what I want as well?
I know this isn't necessarily what this forum is for, but most couples therapists don't know how to address this, and I need help! I am working on my own issues regardless of his, and trying to understand all of his points of view. But any advice would be helpful.
As this is a thought I have had, I am also interested in how people have experienced and dealt with emotional unavailability in their partners, in this lifestyle.
