Are cuckhold relationships successful?

[Cheque12]

Been with my wife 12 years. Both mid fifties. In that time she's had a bit of a roving eye; one affair and numerous online cyber sex type connections. I've sort of got used to it so I don't mind so much as long as I know but recently, she's met someone online whom she'd like sex with. Seems a nice guy, lives in Kent so not a million miles away and similar age to us.

I thought she'd want a threesome but mentioned cuckholding. We've talked about it at length and whilst I don't want to stand in her way, I'm not sure. We have a good relationship in so many aspects but don't know whether if its a step to far.

Personally, unless you are both free to sleep with other people then it won't work IMO.

If you also have the freedom of sleeping with other woman with her blessing, so the relationship is effectively opened up then it can work.

It we are talking about Cuckolding in the literal sense then I can't see how it could ever turn out well. No Man who loves his wife wants to sit and watch her get fucked by another man.

Providing your relationship is solid, you both openly communicate well and you go into it without dishonest intentions, cuckolding will usually improve a relationship. It sounds like it shouldn't but being able to trust each other and share experiences on that level usually brings you closer together.
However, if it's not a shared experience and she just selfishly wants to fuck other guys, it will probably end badly.
I know that's mixed advice but it really depends on the foundations.
Normally with cuckolding, the husband is turned on by it and is willing the wife to fuck other guys, she partly does it for her own enjoyment but partly for her husband's enjoyment and looks forward to sex with her husband afterwards, it's all a big shared experience/journey.
Given that your wife has cheated on you and you don't seem to mind, also you haven't said that you're turned on by the idea and it sounds like she's trying to convince you to allow her to do this, there are definitely some alarm bells ringing.

Crikey you've accepted that she's cheated on you

You cannot justify saying No Man who loves his wife wants to sit and watch her get fucked by another man.

I have often sat and watched my my wife get fucked by other men and women.

We have MMF and FFM threesomes too, as well as an occasional FFMM. It is a big part of our lives and we both love it, and we both really love each other too.

We are all different.
