Another adventure begins

[ProfessorCJ]

Hello all. My name is Cal and I'm a "long-time lurker" here who is ready to make some actual posts. I'm married (20 years) to a woman I fell in love with when we were both 15. Technically our marriage is "open", and I have had other partners, so ours doesn't necessarily fit the more common "cuckold" boxes, but as most of us know, the "open" game is far easier for women to play than for men, and she has definitely had her fun. She is also not really a "cuckoldress"; she enjoys her partners, I get off on it in true cuckold fashion, but she's never really enjoyed taunting me. Our communication is good, and I've let her know I want this, and so maybe this time around it will be better.

For reference, my wife is 5'8", 130lbs, slim build, b-cup breasts, long brownish hair that she dyes reddish. She works out a lot, she has a very pretty face; she's genuinely a very attractive woman in her 40s. Someday, yes, maybe there will be pictures. She's also very much an introvert and doesn't project a lot of warmth or confidence. This has sometimes limited her prospects because I think men see her as hard-to-approach and quick-to-judge... but for the man who puts in the effort, she has a lot to give. Another thing: before we opened our marriage, she cheated, twice. There is no question that she would see other men with or without my permission, and I think enjoys pulling one over on me. In our day-to-day lives I am definitely the one who's more "in charge" of the household, of the finances, of most of our plans and activities; she kind of enjoys being the "brat," and this is definitely one such way. On top of that, like many of us here, I'm not that great in bed. I'm not as attractive as her, I'm average-sized, I'm average-energy. I know that other man just, well, just Fuck better than me, and my lovely wife does, too.

Some of our experiences in the past haven't gone so well. She had one lover, back in 2016, where the emotions got really intense. He originally didn't know she was married, and when he found that out she told him that she and I were breaking up. It wasn't part of a game; she started to act that way, and we almost did break up over it. When that ended, her next experience was with a Dom (which I'm not, despite, you know, trying), and he was the first to get her on board with bondage and anal. I think she is naturally very submissive, but, to be blunt, I'm not the right man to bring that out in her. That relationship also ended badly; her lover's wife was not on board, and when she found out about it he went back to her and cut off all contact, and my wife -- let's call her Jen -- was hurt (way beyond what I thought was fair for her to feel, under the circumstances, to be honest). It was an emotional mess and she said she didn't want to do this anymore. So we mostly didn't.

The fantasy stayed around, and she's certainly known that she's allowed to flirt with other men. There was one other man she saw in 2020, when work took me away and COVID meant I couldn't easily visit, but she didn't really like him very much, they slept together a few times and it disappeared. But, now something is actually happening for the first time in ages, and since I've found this board, I'd like to share it as it happens.

It actually started months ago, and I wanted to post it then, but given our history I didn't want to get something started only to have it become a big nothing burger. She met him at work; she is an administrative assistant, he is a security guard. Let's call him Alex. Alex is in his 20s, recently married. Jen told me months ago that he was being flirtatious, which I of course encouraged and wanted to know more about. So then she let slip that his hand would, like, gently brush her knee as he stood next to her. He apparently hangs out at her desk all the time, and they talk, and it's personal talk, and they're becoming very good friends, and he's touching her leg. Hot stuff, right? Well, not enough for ourhotwives.org, but, definitely a start. That went on for months.

Eventually she told me that she'd let me know her marriage was open. According to Jen, Alex made a comment about how he should be worried about upsetting her husband, and she told him "Don't worry -- I'm allowed to do what I want." Then I got excited again, but according to my wife, things fizzled; she was annoyed he wasn't texting her much (or at all), he wasn't making any further moves, she thought it wasn't going anywhere.

One more thing: My wife is a very unreliable narrator. She lies, or rather, she fibs, all the time. Every detail she tells me is, I'm sure, not quite right. But the big details are, and so I try to piece them together. From her story in the prior paragraph, the only thing I know for sure is that she expected him to make a move, but he wasn't; I don't really know what was keeping them apart.

It was last Thursday that she finally sent me a text saying, "Alex is now kissing me." This is when I realized we were finally on the right track... although, and I say this with a good amount of nervous cuckold thrill, I'm not quite sure to where.

I'll post some actual sexy details once this has been posted and read; it's already too long. Thanks for reading. I promise to take you all on this journey with me, and I'm confident now that there will be a journey.

Sounds exciting. Looking forward to your updates.

Since your wife seems to tell all the big details, are you confident that the relationship you have with each other is stable and secure? Or do you have some doubts about that?

Interesting story, and looking forward to more.

You stated "I get off on it in true cuckold fashion..."
Could you elaborate on that? I'm not sure what 'true cuckold fashion' is.
