God that resonates with me so much. I strongly suspected my 43 year old wife of wanting to stray but could never quite find any evidence , even after we had shared endless fantasies at her instigation ,all about her having sex with others .HubbysBadHabit said:If I’m being honest my theory/personal interest is a bit on the tragic side. Much like a sexual assault victim who becomes promiscuous afterward as an attempt, consciously or subconsciously, to “normalize” sex and therefore invalidate the trauma they were put through. I’ve been with my wife longer than I’ve been without her at this point but early on in our relationship we were the on again/ off again couple. And each time we were off, we slept with other people. As a young romantic, I believed in the Disney BS version of love and 1 man with 1 woman, the sanctity of chastity and loyalty. Basically that each time another man “had her”, it somehow lessened how special what we had was. At some point, I think my subconscious created this “sharing” kink in an attempt to invalidate the pain of knowing she’d been with other men after me.
This is all theory and speculation of course. And it doesn’t change the fact now that the one time it happened, I loved seeing her breasts in another man’s hands and her pussy stretched around his slick cock as he pumped her raw! But also, at that time I felt secure that she’d never leave me since we were engaged to be married at the time and that security made me feel safe sharing her in that way. That too was proven wrong years later when she told me she was “unhappy” and proceeded to have nearly a year long affair. And no, that did not feed the fantasy. Quite the opposite.
Also, the Disney/Traditional version of love is BS! Or at least that’s what I believe now.
In the end I persuaded a good friend who she didnt know to message her and it was soon obvious that she not only enjoyed the attention , and flirting , but was eager to actually meet up with him , all of which he told me.
It excited and sickened me in equal measure , and nearly drove me crazy , but like you, I rationialized it as normal desire
I couldn't bear the idea of her continuing to lie to me so we have now agreed to meet another man "to satisfy *my* curiosity" (she says) .
I'm not sure how it will end up but I'm willing to go through with it. Yes it excites me in some measure but the main reason is that I know she will do it with or without my approval or participation
