I was married to my ex for 10 years. Afterwards, when I fit all the evidence together (that I naively ignored), I count the guys who had her at 5. It seems like a lot to me, but a friend to whom I related all the evidence pointed out that I was seriously underestimating the ex's sexual audacity, and that I should total "2 to 3 times that total."Nazareth said:Honestly, I couldn't tell you. That was 40+ years ago, and some specifics are vague, at best.
I can say I wouldn't consider any of them "long-term". We married after dating regularly for a couple of years, but it lasted barely a year once we did.
I'd guess she was cuckolding me for at least the last 6 months or so, maybe longer.
At times, it seemed to me she just wanted cock, and wasn't particular about the guy, so there were plenty of one-nighters
There was one guy, a coworker of hers (she said).
She actually told me one night that they were very attracted to each other, and asked permission to go to bed with him.
My first thought is if she is asking, that means she has likely done it already, and is asking forgiveness instead of 'permission'.
My second thought was if she wants to do it, she is going to no matter what I say.
So I approved thinking (naively) she meant as a one-time thing.
Boy, was I wrong!
The very next night, she left to go to his home right after dinner.
The night after that, she got up after we finished dinner, and I realized what she was doing/where she was going, and I was crushed.
It was obvious she understood it as carte blanche' with no restrictions, and she went to his place nightly for something a like a couple of weeks.
They were a bit less frequent after that, but it went on long enough that I found a telegram he had sent her, asking her to leave me and come to him.
It seems from your accounts that your ex was not reluctant to let you know what was going on. Was this her effort to humiliate you about things, if I can ask? My ex clearly enjoyed (apart from other guys' erections), the idea of humiliating me. There were taunts about the guys who had had her, but if I took it too seriously, she would say she was just joking (usually I was just in denial). This throwing it in my face was, of course, just between us, but on one occasion it was more public. At a party, standing with her arm around a guy who was then cucking me, she suggested we go home with different partners that night. I was caught without any idea of how to respond. And since the party was all friends or fellow students of hers, some must have known that this guy was screwing my wife, and she wanted to humiliate me in front of them.
