CONDONATION WITHOUT FORGIVENESS -
It has been determined that forgiveness alone is not condonation. There remains the further question of whether there needs to be any forgiveness at all. That is, if marital cohabitation is necessary to condone a marital offense is it such intercourse alone which precludes a party from a divorce, or is it such action coupled with and preceded by forgiveness which raises the bar?
"How can I endure the humiliation of remaining married to a wife who continues to cheat on me? Everyone will view me with contempt if they find out that I am not only a cuckold but that I have tolerated my cuckolding."
David pondered his question to his friend Judge Erwin's (Hank) and his response, and it still bothered him. David was embarrassed that he had not confronted his wife sooner and Hank suggested that it may be best if he just accepted Doreen's infidelity. Their conversation ran through his head.
"Now that she has tasted the forbidden fruit, it will be difficult for her to stop. If you impose an ultimatum on Doreen after condoning her adultery for so long, she will probably divorce you, and for good reason. A more pragmatic strategy would be to talk to her about her infidelities, offer her unconditional forgiveness for the adultery that you have tacitly condoned, then discuss how the two of you will either avoid or cope with her future adultery."
'Do I take a stand, whatever the outcome? We have three wonderful children. Is sex that important that my wife would throw away a happy marriage and tear apart our family? Sex between us was never an issue before. With two teenagers and a child in grade school, how does Doreen expect our love life would be the same as it used to be?' David thought to himself.
David continued his thought as he watched Doreen dancing with other men at the banquet, 'She cheats on me and makes me wear a condom, while her loves don't. Am I already her cuckold? How far will she take her humiliation and disrespect out on me, will she have me watch as she fucks other men, is that her ultimate plan of humiliation, fuck other men and tell me how pathetic I am as I sit there watching?
'Doreen is not having discreet affairs, she wants me to know she is having affairs, fucking other men. I have seen the dried cum on her pubic hair, was it left to let me know that I am a cuckold husband and should just accept it? Does my wife loathe me so much that she would degrade and humiliate me?' David was lost in his thoughts.
As the evening wore on, the music became less formal, and the dancing became more intimate. David was not surprised to see a pair of ebony hands drifting down Doreen's back to caress her butt. He was hardly the first guy who had taken such liberties with his wife. He also was not surprised to see those same ebony hands drift up along Doreen's flanks to covertly caress her breasts.
Doreen glanced throughout the evening to confirm that her husband wasn't getting angry with her. Interpreting his silence as permission, Doreen herself offered no protest as the young Black man began to blatantly fondle her breasts.
'Is Hank right,' David thought to himself, 'by having sex with my wife I am condoning her action, her infidelity, and her cuckolding of me? Or, can having sex with my wife, even when I despise what she has done to me and our marriage, be nothing more than human nature? If I don't have sex with my wife what is left for me, abstinence?'
"
If you impose an ultimatum on Doreen after condoning her adultery for so long, she will probably divorce you, and for good reason."
David thought about what Hank had said to him.
'I have never condoned her actions or forgiven her? No, this is more than just a discreet affair. This is me being turned into a cuck and being forced to accept humiliation and disrespect,' David was sure it was time to put an end to it, whatever the consequences would be.
When Doreen's dance partner finally ushered her back to their table David teased her, "You two should get a room."
Doreen teasingly replied, "his room or ours?"
'And there it was,' David thought to himself, 'Doreen fantasy and her endgame. I give my approval and she fuck this guy in his room or our room, where my wife will expect me to watch them? I will submit to being a cuckold husband, humiliated and disrespected. My wife and her young friend, her fuck buddy, are free to degrade me as I will be expected to just sit there and accept it.'
Realizing that the moment of truth had arrived David rose from his chair and responded, "I am going to our room, if you decide that you would rather spend the night with your friend than me, I will divorce you!"
Doreen gasped as she heard her husband's ultimatum. This was not what she had expected. Doreen had been cheating on her husband for close to four months. She was excited and couldn't wait for David to finally accept his role as her loving cuckold husband and endure the humiliation she would eventually inflict on him. She thought this would be the night.
'Doreen thought to herself, I know he saw the hickeys and bite marks on my tits and the cum that I had left for him. He said nothing. I thought for sure he was ready to be my willing cuck. I've done things with David that I have never done before to assure him sex would only be better if he accepted me having sex with other men.'
Doreen's young Black friend stepped forward with a smile on his face, which was a mistake, and tried to stand toe to toe with David. People they knew and business quantities were aware of what was transpiring. They saw Doreen on the dance floor disrespecting her husband as she danced with this young Black man.
They focused their attention on Doreen and David. Most were glad to see David stand up for himself. A few women however were envious of Doreen, thinking her husband may be a willing cuck; only something they could dream their husbands would accept.
"David please don't make a scene," Doreen said.
"Doreen, I know you have been cheating on me and I've let it go on too long." he said as everyone around them was listening, "My love for you can only allow me to accept so much. Your affairs and disrespect for me stop now or we divorce!"
"Please David, keep your voice down."
David lowered his voice, "If you want to remain married, you will leave now with me. If you would rather throw away our marriage and tear apart our family than go fuck your young friend. I will talk to Hank on Monday and have you served. The decision is yours."
"David, we can discuss this at home like adults, please don't embarrass me in front of people we know and threaten me with divorce."
"Embarrass you, you have been humiliating me for months," David tried to say softly, "and you have embarrassed me as well as yourself today by allowing your fuck buddy to fondle your breasts right here in front of everyone. No Doreen you brought this on yourself."
"But why now," Doreen whispered, "you obviously knew that I have been seeing other men, and you have accepted it, why all of a sudden are you denying me?"
"I have never condoned your fucking other men. You're not discreet at all. An affair isn't enough for you, you wanted more, you wanted a cuckold husband for some sick reason.
Having sex with you was not me giving you my approval, I had sex with you because you are my wife, and I also have sexual needs and desires."
"So, you don't love me, you are just using me for sex?" Doreen asked.
"No, I love you and wish that I could have my wife back, but I despise you more and more each day for what you are doing to me."
