Well, I'll start by saying that she didn't see him last night but that she is seeing him tonight but not staying overnight. Apparently he'd mixed up when our kids will be home (this weekend, not next - they want to stay at school for Halloween, not come home). I think that's an area that could be some friction in the future as yesterday afternoon he was playing golf when Sue texted him and they realized their mix-up. She called me at work and she sounded annoyed about it. Last night I reminded her that last summer/fall that things were still kind of new for them and I'm sure he was a lot more eager to chase after her, but now, I told her that I think he feels he can pursue both, her as well as the things he likes like his golf-game. She grinned and said she didn't like feeling like she was coming in 2nd place!
Wing - other than them having gone away, there's been no mention recently about more than 1 night together for them. I'm not sure I ever went as far as to suggest they'd spend a week together but I know that she had mentioned spending 2 nights with him. I don't know that I'd say no to that but would want to understand where the "give" part of give-and-take is in that situation if she's taking another night with him. But she hasn't mentioned it so not sure it's still a priority or desire for her. If she wanted and it was okay in terms of schedule, etc., I think it'd be something I could be okay with every now and then but I don't think it'd work for me as a regular thing to have her gone 2 nights in a row. I guess that may be a limit on my own beta-ness?
Wednesday's, well not last night, are generally filled with all of what you wrote Wing. Many times she likes for me to talk to her openly and tell her what turns me on or what I'm thinking. But she does share details and will tease/taunt me at other times. I've said many times how it seems we can more easily talk to each other on Wednesdays and she has sometimes just used the time to talk to me about what she wants and to "confirm" it all turns me on, mostly by watching me and enjoying me masturbating along with her. I'm not sure how much further that envelope can be stretched.
Raks - my expectation is that if things stay as they are with her and Paul that I will very likely be using condoms with he for as long as she's seeing him, or, as long as I wish to remain as the beta for her. I am quite sure she isn't viewing this as punishment in any way as she knows how using them makes me feel when we have sex together. What I actually felt is a little bit of almost a reluctance from her to admit that she now finds it somewhat erotic for me to no longer cum in her. I don't think she feels she'd be cheating on or violating something with Paul. She's told me that she is, I guess, getting aroused at the general idea of me being a cuckold - I get this feeling when she tells me how sexy and aroused she feels at the kind of things we are doing between the 2 of us - about her being much more open about enjoying sex with Paul, but also about how she feels about it herself. While I know that she's always loved having guys cum in her, she has found an arousal in denying her husband that pleasure. It's very much in line with the feelings I get from all of this, that denying me this pleasure has somehow struck a note in both of us. I guess what I"m trying to say is that she seems to be aroused at the idea of her being this middle-aged wife/mother with this crazy sexual side. I mean I've known she's been turned on by this for a long time now. I suppose it began with Don and his insistence on her being clean for him. I am sure that while it annoyed me, that Sue obviously saw that it turned me on. I think, if i had to conjecture, it's that over time she's become aware of her own sexuality and that she's actually turned on by recognizing that it turns her on to be this cuckoldress (even if she doesn't know/use that term). That's the part that both excites me and scares me a little. I'm excited that she's turned on by it all, but I admit that it does scare me that she is truly (and maybe not just because it turns me on) enjoying how it feels for me to not cum in her. It scares me because I guess, it could be something that lingers on or becomes something she wants even when she may not have a bf, etc.
Regarding birthdays and such, Raks, I know this will sound crazy to you but I wouldn't expect anything different from her on these occasions. To be honest, it's going to sound crazy but I want her to continue with her desires on these days. I know I will want her bare and if the need is high enough, I may tell her that I need/want her - but if that need isn't that high in me, then again, as with all the other days - it'll sound crazy but in a way it will turn me on to know that we are continuing on with this. In your second post Raks, you ask if I'm forcing her - and I think you are again taking me too literally in what I was conveying. Believe me, it is not second-rate sex I am forcing her into - but I think what she was saying is what I've been conveying here all along - that there is more to our relationship than just sex.
Peak - I think a lot of what I wrote above is applicable to your post too. You said a lot that I agree with but am also not very concerned about which I think is what you and others are always leaning towards as me not seeing something or not recognizing things. I don't know that I feel the same as you do about Sue's motives for wanting to have sex with me, or rather, to make love with me every other week. You feel it's something that Paul pushed or suggested, but I think it's something that she wants. Yes, you are correct that she loves for her man to cum in her - I think her newfound proclivity of enjoying my use of condoms has different aspects - and I do think a part of it is to deny her feeling the same pleasure with me as she feels with Paul. So if anything she's possibly enjoying my use of condoms as a way of perpetuating her sexual fulfillment with Paul and at the same time, preventing me from giving her that same pleasure. If it is, then it is very much in line with how I feel as I make no secret of that being one of the things that so turns me on using condoms with her myself. So I don't see this as a bad thing. I actually feel that, in a way, if I stopped using condoms with her, that perhaps her desires with Paul would decrease too.
I'm not sure I can answer any more of this right now as there's just too much in my head that I can't fully articulate. But I'd be lying if I said that it didnt turn me on to hear that she liked how she felt sexually when she thinks about what she's doing that is just so different than what anyone would think was the norm.
