Steve as PeakMB, Manon and others have mentioned over the last few months, yes there is always a danger when including another within your relationship although as Manon made clear, the key thing is always communication. more communication and even more communication as both of you will always need to keep everything out in the open between the two of you as you make this journey together. Each of us share very different and unique relationships with our respective spouse or partners and with that said I am sure we each support you in our own way and do not place your relationship in judgment.
With that said, I am optimistic for you and Sue even with consideration of what PeaKMB indicated as Sue’s affair turning into a somewhat darker and more dangerous thing than it first appeared. I would think that his concerns are reasonable valid although the approach that you and Sue have taken with Paul has been with honest and open communication between you two as you have revealed. In many ways it sounds like Sue is similar to my own wife when it comes to the desire to have the organic/natural development of a positive connection inside & outside of the bedroom with the other man being a general requirement for a successful relationship moving forward. Just as Sue, my wife also would prefer that I get along with the man that she has chosen so I can truly related to your situation. Based on your prior remarks as she develops her connection with Paul, it seems to me that Sue would prefer what she is developing with Paul over the purely physically sexual only activities that she has had with some of her guys from the past. When a woman moves into this stage where there is more much more emotion, passion and time involved some husbands become spooked and start seeing the activities has much more dangerous.
Unlike PeakMB, it does sound to me that even as you self stimulate it does seem as if Sue knows that she remains the primary source of your sexual pleasure if when your not allowed to release within her. I do agree with PeakMB in some areas as to when it comes to the belief that Sue may not look at you the same way as you become much more beta and Paul becomes her alpha from a sexual aspect as he become her primary sexual partner. As the beta it is very likely that you will have far less penetrative sexual contact with Sue as time progresses. What you have with Sue is something that some men cannot wrap their heads around, with the number of years you have been married, the journey you two have taken over the years along with the growth within your relationship you both are able to take things to another level. Some would even say that the intimacy between you two may become even deeper, your connections even stronger and every aspect of your relationship will become much more fulfilling as a couple even as you have given Sue the gift of her being able to seek out and bring another man into the relationship. The one major difference between your journey and my own is that by your admissions you do engage in self stimulation (masturbating) were as I am general restricted from masturbating which does allow for me to focus on my wife even while I am restricted from releases in general.
I must say that I respect PeakMB as he has posed many variations for though as he has in the past and he is right that you are the only one that can say how correct or wrong he may be thinking as it relates to your relationship with Sue and shared adventures that as a couple you have with Paul.
In my opinion, while it may sound optimistic, it does sound like you two have a very strong relationship thereby minimizing the risk overall to you both. For some the risk is part of the primary appeal and for others being denied what many men would consider traditional sexual privileges while another man is given the same by the wife all that the husband is being denied or restricted from. Would you consider what you and Sue have with Paul more of an extended friends with benefits or something more Poly with beta-cuck tendancies?
