I make no claims on this being even a basic guide on how to change your life or (virtual) cuckold your husband and at best it can only be considered a guide in how i changed my life and (virtual) cuckolded my husband but hopefully you'll pick up a few tips from my 10 years of experiences and maybe even give me some fresh ideas!
I've split it into overlapping chapters covering the various parts to our game simply for ease of reference and because what started as a list of hastily scribbled notes has become something of a novel if not a book.
It's intended to be read as a series in order but hopefully each individual chapter can be taken and applied independently.
First a little about us (or who we were anyway) I felt that I was simply a woman lucky enough to bag herself one of the attractive high-school jocks and who's dream was nothing more than our own house, a couple of kids and a happy marriage, sex was nothing more than a good end to a pleasant evening and how you ended up with the kids in the dream. I worked in an office (and still do though mostly from home now) whilst my husband was a sporty jock who pretty much went straight into military service, did his duty, provided everything we needed and was generally that guy that everyone respects. The very ordinary American couple i guess.
That was all to change not long after he had left the military.
I blame a rerun of the movie "indecent proposal" and the conversation I'm sure most couples have had after watching it. "how much to sleep with your wife?"
I started with the stock answer everyone gives "i couldn't do it, I couldn't cheat on you for any amount of money" which was swiftly countered with "it can't be cheating if I knew about it and agreed to it, what if it was enough to buy a ranch in the country?" but to me sex is a very emotional connection, my bond to my husband, I couldn't imagine essentially selling that to the highest bidder, hell I couldn't even imagine there even being a bidder! So I replied with "i just couldn't do that to you, I couldn't hurt you like that" and that's when he said something that would change all of those years as a simple military wife forever. "it happens more than you think, not selling a night with your wife but wives having sex with other men and it's not always an illicit affair either, it's something you never talk about on deployment but whilst some of those wives were definitely cheating on their husbands (and he's seen 20+ year combat veterans broken by infidelity) some of them didn't just have a hall pass to cheat, their serving husbands in a desert a thousand miles away were desperate for the phone call or even the photos arriving of their wives latest conquest"
Of course there are some military wives that cheat, I'd seen that with my own eyes, nobody is saying it doesn't happen but that it happens with not just permission but they WANT to know about it and hear the details? I think I must have simply looked at him in disbelief, maybe I started to form words with my open mouth, I can't remember because that's when he followed up with the bombshell that would eventually change both our lives forever; "there were even times I was hoping you would confess to me on the phone or send me a letter and photos, I jacked off to that thought more than a few times"
I had to have misheard what he said, had to. Did he seriously just say he'd jacked off to the THOUGHT of me cheating on him whilst he was thousands of miles away? What was wrong with me? How could he even think such a thing? What was wrong with him? I must have had a million thoughts running through my head, from the times I'd seen or heard about what some of the other wives had done to questioning myself, our marriage, my whole existence, everything.
It was a week or so later I found myself sat in my therapists overly familiar chair, I'd battled depression and anxiety since way before our marriage and outside of our lovely home (that suddenly felt oh so strange) this was my other "safe place" I guess.
I fully expected her to gently explain how this was some sort of PTSD common amongst military personnel when I was utterly thrown by her casually telling me it wasn't unusual at all amongst men period, my husband was pretty fucking normal!
Though I suppose even running an eight man concrete team hardly matches the mental stimulation of being shot at on a daily basis and It certainly isn't the weirdest kink out there amongst alpha type men who are usually intelligent, strong, comfortable and in an otherwise safe relationship.
Then it was time for the second bombshell in as many weeks; "your husband sees you as a sexual being, one that others would naturally covet and be worthy of competing for against other members of his tribe, would you be happier if he'd said he had fantasies about another woman?"
Excuse me? A "sexual being"? I'm a mother of two boys, my hair is in a messy bun which I'm convinced smells vaguely of kids vomit, I'm wearing possibly my least flattering comfy slacks, a plain black top and not a trace of makeup. I don't think I've even had any sort of sex in a few weeks and you're, sorry my husband is calling me some sort of "sexual being"? Lady, i think you need therapy more than I do, right at that moment yes I'd have felt better if it had been about other women.
I don't know how long those words rattled around my head, days? Weeks? I was simply existing as any busy mother and wife seems to exist. Doing laundry, making lunches, reading bedtime stories and the whole time those words just kept on rattling around my head.
Now I really do love my husband very much, I trust him with my life and he would undoubtedly wrestle that damn bear for me in a heartbeat but see me as "a sexual being naturally coveted by others and worthy of competing for" was alien to me, I didn't even view myself as any form of "sexual being" so how could he? But I somehow managed to put my faith back into my husbands judgment once more, if that was how he viewed me then somehow that was how I was going to see myself too, for him. I was going to need some serious help here though so that's when Trillian was born, my alter ego "sexual being, coveted by others and worthy of competing for" and boy was she ever going do have to do some heavy lifting.
Trillian and I have come a long way since then, at the start of this my entire "sexual being" was her and she would have to anything that I couldn't even imagine myself doing, as time went on Trillian would slowly take a back seat (unless she was helping me with an anxiety attack in a grocery store parking lot, she was good like that) but eventually I would become that "sexual being" myself, I would claim that birthright all women are born to and I would become that woman my younger self had never even imagined, I would become confident (inside AND outside the bedroom) my lifelong anxiety and depression would lift to the point not even menopause could dent it, i finally managed to shift the baby weight I'd carried for far too long, I even found myself buying totally different styles of clothing, going different places and even slowly changing my friendship circle and eventually even my alter ego my dearest Trillian would be gone forever but never forgotten.
