Threesome went wrong

838 replies

Cherryblossom85 · 22/07/2024 10:29

Hi all I'm posting this for a couple of reasons really.
One being I have noone else to get this all of my chest too as I haven't told any friends about it and Two to warn other how a potential threesome could go.

So here goes
I've been seeing a man for about 9 months, he has always treated me very well all the things I had been looking for including No games. Grounded. Mature. Kind . Funny and we have always just clicked from day one.

A couple of months ago we spoke about sexual fantasies his being a threesome, he said he would never make me feel pressured to do this though & was happy for it just to be a fantasy. As time went on I felt more comfortable with him sexually & said I would like to explore this with him .
He was clearly very excited & got to work straight away on joining dating sites & sites aimed for swinging / threesomes.
I left all that side to him as I'm not really into messaging people back & forth.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago he msg me and told me he has found someone, she would like to explore with us as a couple

He sent me the conversation between them and the photos they had exchanged, it was all very open and he said I could change my mind at any time ( which I have felt I can do)
We had arranged to meet her this friday just gone.
The past 2 weeks leading up to it, she is all he has spoken about it was like he was obsessed , i just said to myself well once it is out if his system maybe he wint be going on and on about her so much.
To cut a long story short ... we met her friday evening, I found her very attractive and there was an instant chemistry between us.
We all chatted for a while and then she made it clear she would like to take things further that evening so we booked into a hotel.
The thing is , she seemed very keen on me and was all over me , kissing touching etc. The man I'm seeing was initially into it he then turned and said to her can I join in now and she said no not yet I just want to be with her for a minute , so he respected that.
As things progressed she only wanted me , I stopped and asked her are you actually gay? Or not attracted to my boyfriend? That's ok if either of those things are correct however we were after a threesome, she then kissed him for a while and they started doing other things together ... I could see her actually wince though as if she just was not attracted to him in the slightest ... she kept turning back towards me and when he put his hand on her leg to get involved she said no and moved his hand off her.
It was all a bit awkward however I was quite enjoying being with her , I looked over at my boyfriend and he looked very angry , I had never seen him like this before!
She then went to the bathroom and he turned to me and said that he doenst want the threesome to continue and that he was going to offer to pay for her cab.
He was very short with me and it was clear he wasnt having a good time so I agreed.
When she came out of the bathroom I was polite and friendly and said it wasnt working for us as a couple and we would call her a cab. I was so embarrassed about my boyfriend's behaviour as he was grumpy now and didnt speak to her before she left. I walked her out to the cab gave a hug and said goodbye.
When I walked back into the hotel room my boyfriend was very cross and said shes obsessed with you! I said to him I'm so confused this is what your fantasy you have said for a long time that you wanted to see me with another woman .I understand she was more attracted to me then him however I couldnt help this.
Anyway his behaviour has now given me the ick and I dont think I want to see him anymore!. We went to sleep that evening and the next morning we went for breakfast he moaned about how expensive the bill for breakfast was ( it really wasn't) I had never seen him behave like this before now.
I offered to pay for it just to keep him quiet and to stop the moaning although it was his turn to pay as we often take turns.
I paid for the breakfast we got up to leave and his whole attitude was miserable. I tried talking to him and he was having none of it , again something I've never seen in him before as we have always communicated well.
By Saturday afternoon I was ready to go home , we had the weekend planned together but something had switched inside me after seeing him like this and I made my excuses and said I needed to get back as my children were coming back early . I made it up but I just had to leave , I couldn't stand to be around him.
I feel like theres no going back from this.
Any advice over what to do please?
Thanks in advance

@courgettes4eva

so why open a thread about a threesome then?

more curious than you care to admit??

C'mon, that's not how it works.

I've opened 500 threads about dogs and I don't like them. I read threads about Dubai, where I'll never go.

Before it drove me to goggle-eyed madness, I even read the odd royal family thread if it trended.

Perhaps she just wasn't "in to" the guy when they started to get down to it. That happens. She may well have had good intentions, but for whatever reason, she is perfectly entitled to decide "nah, won't bother" at any point during intimacy. Just like any consenting couple can say no at whatever stage they are at, and shouldn't have to explain themselves for just not getting the feeling.

Sounds like she's confident and knows what she likes and what she doesn't. The OP should definitely explore further! Sounds like it could be fun.

Exactly maybe he had bad breath or something and it gave her the ick.

seethingmess · 22/07/2024 14:52

I don't know why you're even considering seeing the sulky boyfriend again. He made it clear that it was all about him, not you.

bluedelphiniums · 22/07/2024 13:31

Stop with the judgement. So people aren't allowed to explore their sexual fantasies just because they have children?

Blimey, the pile on for that poster has been done now!

I've got no issue with whatever consenting adults want to do, provided it doesn't spill out into a home life with kids and everyone is okay and equally empowered.

It's also reasonable for some people to find having threesome with strangers in a hotel room a really unappealing idea.

Expressing an opinion without the judgement is the thing.

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 22/07/2024 14:57

If this is true, it really is hilarious. Dump him, go out with her.

Cherryblossom85 · 22/07/2024 14:57

fedupwithbeingcold · 22/07/2024 13:59

Umm, where would you go with a stranger otherwise? The girl had only just met them so for her own safety, she'd surely not want to go to somebody's house

Exactly this

It's not my thing but this made me smile. He thought you would both be all over him!

This is the risk you take.

Unhappy4500 · 22/07/2024 15:03

I have been through something similar x

kittensinthekitchen · 22/07/2024 13:26

I'm not even sure I believe this happened, but OMG some of you are complete prudes who really need an orgasm or three.

It definitely happened... believe me I am still stunned with myself for going ahead with it ... the old me would never have even imagined, however I am at a stage in my life where I am experimenting a little. I am very glad it happened as I've discovered I am probably bi sexual...

Shock number one:
Courgettes, you do know that parents have sex?
Yes -your own most certainly did.
Sweet Jesus's parents were apparently the exception that proves the rule.

Shock number two:
Quite a few parents have sex more times than was required to produce their children. This is allowed.

On another matter:
Showering for 5 hours is bad for the planet.
Sex probably isn't.

BigPussyEnergy · 22/07/2024 15:11

As someone who is also experimenting with all sorts of new things post divorce I can totally believe this tbh! I turned 50 last year and made a list of things I wanted to try and 3some was on there. And yes - shock horror - I’m a MOTHER!! And I like sex. Have had one nighters and FWBs, and tried new things. None of my DCs were in the house! People need to chill out.

MouseMama · 22/07/2024 15:11

You’re very adventurous and brave so no judgement at all but it’s kind of hilarious. It reminds me so much of a scene in Friends where Ross describes having a threesome with his wife and Carol (his bit was over with very quickly and he goes off to make a sandwich 😂).

Your partner’s behaviour would give me the ick too but I suppose from his perspective he’s had this fantasy for a long time and when it finally happened he didn’t even really get to join in as the other woman was all over YOU. It must be hugely disappointing and a bit crushing for his ego.

I’m not sure there’s much chance of coming back from this unless he just needs a few days to reflect on the experience and then apologise to you both.

Anotherlurkingmale · 22/07/2024 15:12

Don't have much sympathy for the guy here, his idea, he was the one pushing for this the most and that's no way to treat the other girl (they're called unicorns for a reason in this scenario). Hope the OP gets to explore things in her own terms next time.

EBearhug · 22/07/2024 15:12

Fine that it didn't work out as he thought and he called an early halt, not fine that he got in a massive strop about it with you.

This. It sounds like you had discussed how you thought it might go before it happened, but hadn't really discussed how to handle it if either of you didn't find it going as you were comfortable with or had hoped it would go. There are always unknowns in threesomes - lack of chemistry, nerves, fantasy being better than reality. My last one - unexpected period, which was somewhat limiting.

I've been swinging and had threesomes. If you're going as a couple, it's important to trust each other and communicate with each other. It was bad form for your woman to carry on with you and push him off, but people don't always behave perfectly, especially if caught up in the moment. You should have probably involved him more - he could have gone behind you and been touching you, even if he wasn't touching her. But it was your first time, and you can't always predict how you will feel. It also sounds like she was up for more than she really was - that can happen. Sometimes you meet people face-to-face (be it a date with a single person or a couple,) and realise that in person, just... no. He still had no right to get stroppy about it, especially as he had said he'd like to watch you - he should have calmly discussed feeling left out afterwards, and how to handle it better in future.

I have always been careful to make sure no one is getting left out. I do usually leave arrangements to my partner (out of laziness, tbh,) but we do now discuss who he's chatting to before agreeing any meeting, because someone just being available isn't enough for me to fancy them. If you're meeting a couple, this can be even trickier - the men are often not as good as the women.

I've done MMF at clubs where I'm the centre of attention, but only FFM when specifically arranging a threesome. I've had a few men (more than I would have expected,) asking for MMF, as they're bi-curious - I've always said no to this. I'm not interested in watching two men get it on together and leaving me on the side, and I think it would be too big a risk, and though I hope they find people to explore with, I'm not setting up as a matchmaker, either.

I have a male friend whose marriage broke up, because his wife went off with the woman they met. I've met couples where it works well, they're tuned in together and check in together often. I think communication is key to any relationship, but even more so if you involve others. Getting in a strop is no part of this, and I'd be put right off. (I would be put off by tantrums over pretty much anything, sex or housework or otherwise - I tend to respond better to reasoned discussion about disagreements.) I need to have trust that they'll deal with disagreement in an adult way, more than I worry about jealousy.

I think you're right to sort things out with him before meeting with her again.

Unhappy4500 · 22/07/2024 15:14

I agree 100%.
I couldn't have worked it better myself x

Cherryblossom85 · 22/07/2024 15:15

Ok as so many of you are so clearly invested ... I'm really surprised actually at how supportive people have been on here! Bar the few judgemental ones
Here's an update
Hes eventually txt me back & the msg has literally given me the answer I needed , it's over.
Amongst other things that he has said he blames me for ruining his fantasy that he has had his whole life , he said she shouldn't of found you that attractive.... um pardon me ? Hes then gone on to say he didnt think I would enjoy it as much as I did as it was "his" fantasy & watching me get so turned on by the unicorn has hurt his feelings. He has now said that he has found someone else already on another dating site who is willing to have sex with him and I watch .... I just said absolutely not and I've had to end it.
Obviously ive msg a bit more than that but the point is ive ended it. I cant believe how much my life has changed since friday evening 🤦‍♀️ I feel like hes used me to try to fulfil his fantasy. I'm done.

@LiesDoNotBecomeUs and all the other ‘ it doesn’t matter about OP’s children, you prudes’…..it was the positioning of the get home quickly excuse which was a bit surprising.

Three quarters of a page of sexual exploration and then the casual ‘ had to get home to my children’ which set us off. Visions of tiny mites wailing in distress while Mummy went out to get laid with an internet-sourced random.

Juxtaposition is one of the first rules of comedy.

Oh wow! He really is a prince among men isn’t he?! Sorry, I know it must be a shock as you’ve been together a little while, but sounds like you’re well rid of this one. And now at least the coast is clear for you and your new friend to meet up.

So he was after a cuckquean scene and not a threesome? There you go, OP. He's sexually illiterate!

Oh that's an interesting new level of pathetic 😂

Congratulations on losing the dead weight!
Good luck on your next experimental endeavour 😉
