How to tell him
STB: I am encouraged that You and Sue have discussed letting Frank in on the ‘secret’. Again I think that is wise, and it would be far worse for him to ask Sue “does Steve know about us” and get another vague noncommittal answer that he will ultimately doubt. He has seen you two together, at your home for BBQ’s and playing in the pool. He know you have a good relationship. The only justification he could find is just what you and Sue have done: deceived him into believing that Sue wants ‘more’ than she is getting at home, and that she wants Frank to give it to her. For Frank, what it means is that Sue is having a clandestine affair with him. In ‘our culture’ it happens all the time. But when it comes to the point of slipping out of bed to go to him at night, and “sleeping over”, it naturally indicates to the average man that she wants more than just sex from him.
I stand by my position that it would be far better to let Frank know. The difficult part is HOW! I have a few suggestions: I have considered these as though I was in your shoes. I sincerely feel that this is a critical time for decision. If this falls apart because of dishonesty, I believe Sue will not participate in it again, and will blame you for it going bad.
1. Sue would tell Frank “You know Frank, Steve will find out about 'us' sooner or later. He needs to know before we get too involved. Steve & I love each other, but I am not sure how he will take it”. “let’s have a BBQ together and after a few beers, I will bring it up to him”. “I will make sure Steve knows I love him and It’s only sex between us and that nothing will change between Steve and I.” Once it’s out in the open, you can take it from there.
2. The Eskimo approach: You can invite Steve over for ‘the game’ BBQ, and beers. After the atmosphere is sufficiently ‘jolly’ You cam ask Frank, as you have before, “how ya doing in the sex department?”. Ignore his answer if it doesn’t include Sue and brag up how good Sue is in bed, then acknowledge your good friendship, call Sue to your side and after a passionate hug and kiss, tell Frank that: “we have decided that it’s not good for you to rely on your hand and Sue here has volunteered to help out”. “Don’t worry, It’s OK with me, Sue is not going to leave me, this is just to ‘tide you over’ till you find a nice woman of your own.”
3.The discovery: Invite Frank over for Monday night football and beers. At the end of the evening, point out that he shouldn’t be driving and he is welcome to stay over. (after all he’s done it before) Offer the guest room instead of the sofa. After an hr. or so, Sue can slip down and join him. (no problem, they have done it before) This time, you come in the patio door, to avoid the noisy stairs, and find them fucking with Sue on top and his face covered by her tit’s. Come into the room and have Sue suck your cock. It won’t be long before Frank realizes what’s happening. When he does, you both can explain your “arrangement”. Start from the beginning: the business trip, condoms and note. Even Brad, and point out that since Brad you both have been looking for someone and think Frank would be the one. You don’t even have to mention that you know anything that they have already done but it would be good to explain your “arrangement.”
4. Peak’s solution: After Sue & Frank have had a good fuck at his place, Sue can tell him. “You know, Frank, this is wonderful and I love it, but we just can’t let it go on forever.” “Steve will find out somehow, and that won’t be good for you & I, and for all of us as friends.” “Besides you need to move on, find a nice woman that you can have a serious relationship with.” “You know I love Steve and wont leave him, we can still get together, but you can never really have me for your own.” Now if Frank finds someone like Sue, You all can get together as a 4-some. Wouldn’t that be something to write about.
