Cheap Advice from Mick and Molly to a Might Be Cuckold

A couple of weeks back, Slave ventured into the counter-advice column business, figuring it to be a one-off , useful in filling up the column inches here, particularly in the absence of any meaningful contributions of late from our Western Correspondent, who must still be licking the wounds endured when his geldings took the field in the Meadow Lands on Sunday.

The lopsided Seahawks victory had me wondering if in true Jersey tradition, the lads from Denver were advised by one of Chris Christie’s high school chums just before game time that it “was not their night”,  the way Marlon Brando got the news from his older brother, played by Rod Stieger in “On the Waterfront”. 

But then I saw this request for advice in the Washington Post yesterday that was right up our alley, and figured the writer needed a little more common sense than “Dear Prudence” had in her limited range of experience:

Paternity

My wife and I have a female-led relationship. Before we got married, I agreed that she could "take other lovers", while I would remain faithful to her alone. She said that she might not ever see anyone else, but she liked that I knew she *could*. Well, now she's pregnant, and I'm wondering the obvious. We do have intercourse, but not often. She was away on business near the time she would have conceived. I don't know whether she's ever had another lover. I could have asked that before, but now I'm afraid of how it would come across. Should I ask, or just wait to see if the baby looks like me?

Emily Yoffe :

Thank you for informing me of the phrase "female-led relationship." From reading the definition, I see that it doesn't necessarily mean that the wife take lovers while the husband is home making soup. It just means she is in charge. (Hear that, Darling, it's not me being intolerably bossy, it's a lifestyle!)  In an earlier day, writer John Mortimer delightfully appropriated the term, She Who Must Be Obeyed, to describe this sort of relationship in Rumpole of the Bailey.  But just because you agreed your wife would  set the terms of both her behavior and yours doesn't mean you are not now entitled to rethink things. If you say you want to talk about the pregnancy and the child's possible paternity and she orders you into the dungeon, then you two are suffering from a failure to communicate. One of the basics of embarking on parenthood is knowing how the event came to be.  If you're afraid to ask, then you need to rethink what it means to raise a child together not as equal partners.  I assume you don't want your offspring to think of dad as a timid, quivering wreck. If you don't have the guts to discuss this up with your wife, then maybe you can pass her a note saying you'd like the engage the services of a marriage counselor so that you have a safe place to talk to her.

Here is what Molly and Mick would say to this confused sap and his Domme:

Those of us in “female led relationships” certainly subscribe to the notion that the wife has every right to play the field when on a business trip, or even when hubby is simonizing the floors in the den. It’s been in Mick’s contract from the very beginning, and Molly has oft exercised that privilege for more than a few cums  from a variety of macho lovers.

But the particular  thrill of the cuckold relationship is in giving a full after action read out to the humbled cuckold who’s imagination has been forced to run wild while his wife is running free.  For Mick it allows his competitive juices to flow as he seeks to please Mistress as best he can when she returns to the marital bed, none the worse for wear (though sometimes a little stiff and sore depending on the physical dexterity and vigor  of her alternative lover).

And Molly seems to relish the opportunity to tease Slave with her upcoming evening (or afternoon) plans, sometimes making sure he is locked in the cage and not tempted to violate that “no touch” rule. She is not burdened with the hassle of sneaking about or covering her tracks.

Heck, it works for us, and our sense is that we are part of a growing trend who use these dynamics to keep their marriage hot and fresh.

So we can’t understand why a wife with “privileges” would fail to tell her husband all the juicy details …. Or at least some of the hot highlights if she has found a fetching side dish while at an otherwise dreary business trip.

So what does a confused might be cuck do when confronted with a pregnant wife: being a Dad is no easy chore, and in a female led household, you are likely to do much more than 50% of the diaper changing, laundry, middle of the night feeding, and (later) soccer practice driving. There’s no reason why you can’t have a satisfying parental role and bond whether or not your chromosomes are in the mix. But if it’s something that is going to stick in your craw, best to politely ask the question that is top of mind now and clear the air.

And consider reminding her that she has no reason to conceal her future “free ranging” because if anything full disclosure might make things even hotter around the homestead.
