Can a Threesome Make Him Cheat?

If you’re into good romantic fiction, Carl Weber is a great author. His books usually center on several different relationship-based themes, ranging from infidelity to marriage. Unlike most authors, he has a really keen grasp of relationship issues from both male and female standpoints.

We just finished reading Weber’s Something On the Side, an engaging novel about a group of friends all dealing with having more than one relationship in some aspect of another. One character is constantly pressuring her man for a ring, while her ex begs her back in his life. Another character is struggling with intense feelings for a man after being in a controlling relationship for so long. And yet another character juggles different men to pay the bills.

Yet, the most intriguing component of this story deals with a devoted, faithful wife who wants to fulfill her husband’s ultimate fantasy: a ménage a trios. When you read the story, you discover even though it’s a thoughtful birthday present, the husband isn’t pressed to have one. In fact, the husband doesn’t think it’s a good idea at all, but the wife persists and even pays her best friend $5,000 plus perks to help her turn her husband out.

Well, long story short, the best friend and the wife give the husband the time of his life – and the wife doesn’t enjoy it as much as she expected to. Instead, she actually feels kind of slighted and left out because it seemed as if he’s paying more attention to the “new booty” in his bed and ignores the wife. All the moans and groans and the special things he does while in bed with her, he does with her friend, all of which does not sit well with her.

As the story progresses, the wife becomes extremely insecure and jealous as she replays the events in her head from that fateful night. The marriage takes a turn for the worse as she accuses her husband of wanting to continue an affair with the best friend- and even suspects him of sleeping with her. With their marriage on the rocks, the husband devises a crazy plan to put their romantic life back together, but it backfires in a way you would have never expected.

Now, after reading all this craziness, we can’t help but wonder the following:

-         Is it possible, or even necessary, for a wife to fulfill all of her husband’s fantasies?

-         If your man wanted a threesome, would you go through with it for him?

-         If you wanted a threesome, would your man be down for one?

-         If he enjoys the threesome, is it license for him to start sleeping with other women?

-         Can anyone truly handle watching their partner have sex with someone else-and enjoying it?
