Hi everyone,
I found the board after some pillow talk with my wife late last week. We were tuned up and fantasizing and I told her that I could get off on watching her give herself to another guy.
I wasn't really trying to push us into swinging, I hadn't even given it any thought, I was just seeing what gets her revved up and trying to keep things spicy and new, which isn't always easy after 12 years of being with each other.
So it was kind of awkward that night, and we talked the next day about it when we weren't drunk. She seemed pretty shocked that night, but when we talked later she said she wasn't freaked out. I told her it was a fantasy that has rattled around my brain, but I wasn't pushing her to do anything. I also didn't deny that I would be open to the possibility if she was into it. She said she didn't think it was a good idea, that it would ruin our relationship, and that it would make it easier for us to justify cheating on each other deceitfully, etc. etc. All common and reasonable worries, I'm sure.
Anyway, long story short - that was a week ago. She has shown absolutely zero sex drive since then, which isn't like her, and she hasn't been nearly as affectionate or playful. Last night she came down stairs from a dead sleep and I had my pants around my ankles taking care of myself and she got upset about me masturbating! Called me a "weirdo". Mind you, she's caught masturbating at least a dozen times in a dozen years, and never had any reaction other than to laugh at my horny ass and either ignore or help, as her mood has struck her.
Sorry this is so long, but I'm looking for advice. Did I make a mistake in letting the genie out of the bottle? Can't put it back in now, right? Anyone else experience anything like this?
