Good luck, buddy. You seem to have it under control emotionally. Now that 24 hours have passed I think I understand what I was trying to say in my last post a little more clearly. It's all pretty simple, really: Amber needs to know that she can go too far with you sometimes. That's all. It's not all about her, and if it is, then there's no point in your sticking around for the ugliness to come, and she needs to know that. When you ask how you can tell her anything when the retort is "it's not like you didn't know I was fucking other guys," it proves my point that you're already in the stage where communication is breaking down into habituated responses. That needs to be reversed quickly or soon you won't be able to communicate realistically at all, and when that happens, when she no longer listens to you . . . or more importantly, no longer cares about or wants to hear or is habitually annoyed by what you have to say . . . it's an indication that you're becoming a liability in her world instead of an asset, a wet blanket on her smoking hot fun. It's probably not a serious problem yet, but it needs to be addressed promptly, believe me. If you can't approach her directly with what you're feeling, you can certainly communicate it to her with your behavior. It's almost like animal husbandry, no pun intended. If you're suddenly more self sufficient emotionally, more aloof, slightly less enthusiastic about the game, and acting as strong and independent as you would have to be if she left you, before she leaves you, in other words coming to terms with the emotional state of a man already sexually divorced by his wife, two things might well happen. First, she will pick up that something has changed with you, and, second, she will begin to wonder what made you suddenly so independent and strong. The latter fear, a curiosity about why her charms are not working on you as savagely as they were a mere few weeks ago, is both a warning signal and a turn on to women. That's why strong, aloof guys drive women crazy. She may thrive on the sexual attention of all the adoring losers at Dr. M's black tie event, but she'll flirt with the ones who appear immune to her charms. That's why the bad boy alpha males get all the fine pussy. They don't give a shit. You need to cultivate a bit of that to rein her in and get things operating on a more equitable basis. You can't be a doormat and expect to be valued like a Persian rug. And despite all the fantasy on this forum about being a sub cuck sissy cocksucker who wears panties and lipstick and fluffs the wife's lovers, I can almost promise you that very little of that actually exists in real life for numerous reasons. For one thing, most bulls wouldn't allow it. They're in it for the fine forbidden married pussy, not a blow job from some weird fucker wearing panties and lipstick. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm sure it does, but I think there are very few of those living such a lifestyle. It's too aberrant even for guys who like their wives to fuck other men. It's merely a sexy fantasy that I can both understand and appreciate, and it's prevalent in cuckold discussions, as are black guys and BBC. In reality, black guys are just guys, and cucks have wives and houses and jobs and kids. Our game is in our heads . . . and when our wives are out fucking someone, in our hands. Similarly, even the hottest wives have husbands and homes and jobs and social standing to protect and families to hide their behavior from and all the other responsibilities of adult women in our society. It doesn't make the cuckoldry any less exciting when it happens, but my point is that it happens within the framework of largely normal lives otherwise. When either party begins to stray beyond the range of behavior that will allow the sustenance of a relatively normal home life, as I did in trying to insist my wife remain a wanton slut of a woman when she had outgrown any desire to do so, or as Amber seems to be in danger of doing by hooking up with her own mother to double date strangers and introduce you to them as a friend from Chicago, it's getting a bit close to the red line. As hot and downright exciting as that is, it illustrates one of the problems with Amber. She's a NATURAL hot wife. She seems genetically predisposed to fuck around and be unfaithful, but she has somehow mysteriously conjured a perfect understanding of what turns a cuckold husband on. It's the main reason this discussion has such a following. We cucks see in Amber a totally hot NATURAL at being a hot wife and keeping her man, and the rest of us, off balance, engaged and enthralled. You feel it acutely, and while she plays you like a keyboard to excite you, she ignores your discomfort because it's in her interest to do so. She's the one having all the fun, but she knows you're enjoying her behavior, so there's no reason to slow down or pay more attention to your unease. You asked for it, and, OMG, can she dish it out!!! The problem comes when she revs things beyond the red line and blows your engine, and it will be you left with the repair job, if, indeed, the engine is worth repairing at that point. It's you job right now to show her that there is a red line and let her get a taste of what it looks and sounds like when she keeps her pedal down too long.
