I feel like "we are intelligent people... We can figure this out..."

Maybe listen to her SM.BallSpanking wrote:I've even asked her if she wants to separate and just be with Bill. If she loves him and wants him. She repeatedly says "no - not at all! You and I just need to take a break form the whole HW thing!"
I think she's given you the key.Samanthasman wrote:She repeatedly says "no - not at all! You and I just need to take a break form the whole HW thing!"!

She's knows that would be a major move. I doubt she would but honestly I'm not 100% sure. She would rationalize that "it's just sex"... But I doubt she would do thata_unique_being wrote:Hi SM
If you guys do take a break from it all (including Bill), what do you think are the chances of Samantha talking and meeting Bill behind your back again? Does she trust herself to commit to your relationship and being honest about Bill? What do you think?
Yes, good advice. I'll try this. I think she will just keep saying "I don't feel comfortable" and I sort of doubt she understands why.Iamtheman wrote:SM,
I admire your tenacity. The last sentence in my message though wasn't the one that I considered the most important. I understand that the general consensus is that Samantha may be digging in her heels and unwilling to give you anything that you need to fulfill your fantasy. That may be the case, but her resistance to include you may come from genuine hangups or fears that she has. If she can't work through them, you're essentially saying "take one for the team". Everyone can argue about whether that request is justified. Perhaps though the conversation with Samantha should switch from "why won't you do this?" to "why are you afraid to do this? what do you think will change?" At the very least, it may be a new direction that could stimulate new discussion and hopefully move you farther down the road to some middle ground.

It's just not doing anything for me. I like you but I'm about to pull the plug again. The truth is that she wants to see you 3 nights a week, and I'm pretty sure I'm fine with that and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you want. If she just included me some how maybe watching in the room or even from the doorway once a week, even for just one of your 2-3 rounds, I'd be happy and feel included, and I'm pretty sure it would be a blissful relationship for all... What do you think!?"

second thought; Bill is not the one you need to convince here. he's not the one that's supposed to love you, and want this to be a team experience, and shared experience.
guess who that person is?
Is Samantha reading through this thread with you today? I'd like to hear her take on the comments, or is she off with Bill? Or is it Sid today?Samanthasman wrote:SmilingHusband wrote:Samanthasman wrote: Can't argue with you...

You made a comparison between HWing and addiction...and your daily fix seems to have escalated over time. Your first rules were something along the lines of "have sex and don't mess up the marriage". Now it's become "have sex with me watching and don't mess up our marriage". So, how long before it's "have sex with all your holes filled and a dick in each hand while I'm filming it...oh, and don't mess up our marriage"?
Its the nature of addiction and she's worried where you're going with it. It's good that you agreed to putting some limits on what you'd like next (just make sure you can stick to the limits). Baby steps. She just needs to gradually get comfortable with something that her mind is struggling with. I still think you need to approach this with Bill, or Sid, or whoever. You're taking for granted that these guys are open to what you're looking for. I also think that for the ground that she gives you, you should also give back. Watching, MFM, whatever you two can find as middle ground. Give her some one on one time with her lovers as well. She's making you happy by agreeing to your wants, make her happy by letting her have some privacy too (she can film it even to give you a view). It's balance that serves you both.
Here's to hoping that you both find your way and this weekend brings some fun adventure.
