What I learned about my cuckold tendencies via writing

Sorry if this winds up a repost - looks like my original disappeared for some reason
Wannabe here. I wanted to share with you some things I gleaned about my own cuckold psychology while working on a hobby project for myself.
I just finished writing my first draft of a novella in which I accidentally worked through why I am obsessed with wanting my wife to cuckold me. It was supposed to just be the story of a crumbling marriage and a professional breakdown, with lots of mental health (bipolar II) considerations, but cuckold themes emerged swiftly and became both a central event and a metaphor for all the psychological themes. Here's what I learned about myself in the writing.
I used to think it was just a kink. But the more I wrote, the more I realized how deep it runs for me. I grew up kind of on the outside — Asian kid in mostly white spaces, rarely chosen first, often excluded, but always trying to prove I was worth noticing or worthy of recognition. That took the shape of perfectionism.
Out came some formative memories from when I was younger, especially wanting to feel my tiger parents' love and approval but it always being out of reach, no matter how hard I worked or how much I scrambled to be the perfect kid and be worthy.
I think that's what led to my being low-key obsessed with wanting to be a cuckold (I'm just a wannabe right now). I have a hard time feeling like I am a worthy person.
At work that means I've at times scrambled, in a bipolar II sort of way, to chase ambition so that I could try to get some sort of undeniable proof that I am worthy. Something that would actually register with me.
At home that means that I scramble trying to help myself believe I am a good husband, even though I am objectively successful professionally and have put together a good life for my family. There's just something deep in the core of me that is pathologically convinced I'll never be enough for my wife especially, even though she assures me that I am.
In the story I got to explore what it would mean to me if she actually would actually cuckold me. I've concluded that if it made her become fully satisfied and alive sexually, and she still chose to stay with me, I would feel so very relieved. I could be absolved of have any exhausting responsibility to be enough, but I would still know I mattered. Over time I sexualized that desire, and so here I am.
I will say that I have experienced quite a catharsis weaving those themes into writing. I worked on it on and off over for the last 13 years, a lot of therapy, and the act of writing finally forced me to crystallize and articulate why I am this way.
It was also good to get some of this fantasy into a creative outlet, as I have felt some frustration in not having this kind of experience IRL. I feel better now, about everything - my mental health, my relationships, my marriage (even if this fantasy never becomes reality for me). Heck, I even realized I should probably make a career change! (Thinking about it.)
Anybody else find something similar through journaling or art or writing or whatever?
