I completely understand the DNA of male vs female - spreading of seed, etc.... I have for over 20 years.
Hence I've almost always been open to Open Relationships, with TRUTH, respect and honesty.
Being betrayed the way I was, really hurt me down to my soul. Worst thing to experience in my life so far.
I already FORGAVE my wife, Captiaintrips. Really, I am past that. I'll post some links about affairs which helped me, but I barely have time to reply to this.
We're reading books and going to couples counseling. By all means, I was on a track to move on and meet other women. But I never lost life for my wife. She tells me the same thing - but was running away from her problems - rather than actually tackle them. She didn't win at running away.
I'm not into cuckold, not my thing. That story you sent me... its a fantasy. I only read the first chapter as I don't like signing up for sites. There are other free sex-story sites that require no log-in... I prefer:

The story is very much a fantasy (again, only chap 1), where the poor SOB finds out what has just happened and will happen. The space of things in the matter of 6~24 hours is complete fantasy. His brain would be broken. He's not consenting to his wife having sex with other men. But I am in error after just saying that.... its just a sex story, so its supposed to be "fun".
