My wife, who’s been faithful for years, is all of a suddenly head over heels over one of our friends. He seems to be trying not to get involved but it’s just driving her wild [True story] [First time in a long time]

Not really here to make a point or ask a question. It just excites me a lot and I just don't have many other places to share developments, none that are supportive anyway. But anyway…

It's been a while since my wife has been into dating other men. The last time was about 4 years ago and the before that about another 4 years.

She's been really stressed lately about finishing a long-term project and it seems to be re-awakening her ho-phase. She's also been off birth control for about 6 months (for health reasons) which she says has made her feel much lighter and, funnily enough for some reason, seems to make her look at other men more.

The new development has been that she has recently gotten a huge crush on one of our friends in a new friend group. Even she's surprised by how weirdly attracted to him she is. She's been kind of embarrassed because she came on really strong to him at first and it kind of led to her being rejected because the guy was really concerned about betraying me. She did reassure him that we were open and that I was totally okay with it, but it seems like it was something thing he personally had a hard time getting over, which is totally understandable – conservative country and all. What's funny is that this rejection happened after they met up alone in person, hung out all day, which eventually ended in them making out and her giving him a blowjob. She even swallowed his cum which is something she hasn't done in like 10 years.

Now they've kind of settled on being friends without intimacy but the rejection is only making her want him more and it's kind of driving her wild.

She's wrapping up her long-term project at the end of the month and is so excited about spending more time with him and trying to change his mind. It's been crazy seeing her change because before this (after her last adventure 4yrs ago ended on not-so-great terms), she really didn't want to "give herself away" as much anymore. Meaning, she didn't want to put an undue amount of effort into other men, condoms at all times, limited emotional connection, but now she has completely gone back on all those rules.

She went from begging me to let her fuck him without a condom to later on begging me to also allow her to ask him cum inside her when they have sex for the first time. She's been fantasizing about it for weeks now and is planning on going on birth control again for him ASAP, even if they don't really have a thing going yet. Apparently, he came A LOT when she gave him a blowjob and really strongly in her mouth (which is why she got so wild about it and swallowed), and now she's been finding herself randomly craving the feeling of his cum in her pussy every now and then. She even asked me of it's okay if, whenever she gets to get intimate with him, that I don't fuck her when she gets back from being with him. She's apparently going crazy over the thought of him cumming a lot inside her pussy and not washing it out – just leaving it inside her for as long as possible. Meaning she's going to be coming home back to her wifely duties, hugging me, sleeping beside me, full of this guy's cum. This is also a big reversal because she's usually really strict about cleaning up after on the rare occassion (because she not on BC) that I get to cum inside her. I find it funny because she's always been super strict about condoms and thought of other men's cum as gross and almost violating but now, when she's into fantasizing about it, she's been telling me that she's going to make him cum insider her every time they fuck. This is borderline cuckolding at this point, and it's not something I was really into – but I gotta admit, it's pretty hot seeing her be such a slut for someone else. I'll entertain it and see how it plays out.

She's also super game to put in the effort to make it work – like if he asked her to go to his place right now, she would go instantly and let him do whatever he wanted to her. The wildest thing though, is that she's all of a sudden open to being emotionally intimate with him and exploring that side of open relationships.

The complete 180 on her flirting-principles has been shocking but super hot! Personally, I'm open to her doing whatever she wants and exploring whatever she can. You might say that this is crazy of me and that I'm really risking it by exposing her to a guy she really likes. But the thing is, I'm ridiculously secure with her. We've been through thick and thin together for 15+ years and I know that I'm 100% a way better partner in every way than this new guy she likes. This also happens, like, once every several years and it's probably only going to last a few weeks, maybe a month or two max, but it's something that's going to be one of many adventures that were going to be talking about for the rest of our lives.

I kind of doubt (and a little bit relieved) that this probably isn't going to be a series and that something else will happen. The guy seems scared about getting involved even if my wife seems way out of his league. But I am a bit curious if something does. Time will tell I guess.
