Thanks for the response Custer. You touch upon several points that I wrestled with myself over the course of the change in our sex life and our relationship in general.

Mark,
You weren't "involved" in what as much as normal? Your relationship with your wife?
Custer Laststand said:
Sounds hot... but, you already were your wife's cuckold, given that the two of you found a lover for her and (as you say) you watched them fuck all night. [Definition, cuckold: a man with an unfaithful wife. It's short and simple.]
This was the first time we had brought a single man into our sex. The initial goal was not for me to watch, but for a 3some with my wife getting a whole lot of attention. I did participate some, don't get me wrong, but it was fondling, massaging, kissing and some oral on her (plus a good deal of encouragement to the two of them from me). We were pretty involved in the swinging lifestyle and this was sort of a what's good for the goose is good for the gander scenario. We had multiple 3somes with women and we both wanted to try a second male in the mix. It was never intended to cuckold me.

The change in your relationship with your wife as you've described it is so dramatic it makes one wonder if her lover really "went away" at all. Suppose, for instance, he pleaded that his love for her was so passionate he wanted her all to himself... meaning, he didn't want her husband (you) mixing your sperm with his in her pussy. Suppose he pleaded that his love was so ultra-passionate that he didn't want your wife sleeping with you at all. (Some lovers are possessive like that, ya' know...) Suppose also your wife was convinced by his entreaties, and "cut you off" while continuing to see him (as you put it) on the sly. Then, that would be consistent with what you experienced... i.e., you spent a year sleeping in your guest room.
Alternatively, suppose you know for a fact your wife's former lover relocated to some distant place and is no longer available to her. Suppose also your wife found a new lover... a lover who is so possessive he appealed to her as above, and she capitulated. That would also be consistent with what you've experienced.
I think you're assuming the worst (or maybe best?) case scenario. But you are talking about a "perfect storm" of events. We weren't actively looking for someone to cuckold me. We screened and selected men based on their desire for an NSA type of arrangement, simply adult enjoying each other sexually. I did participate in the sex with my wife and with the men if they we bi. No one was trying to humiliate me during any of our encounters. D and I kept our fetish play private or with a very select group of friends.
I can't say with 100% certainty that D wasn't fucking without my knowledge, but I did do quite a bit of investigation to see if she cheating. After a couple of months I was sure she wasn't cheating on me.

As for being "99.9% sure" your wife is not seeing someone else... I suggest a lower level of confidence. My impression is, women are significantly better than men at concealing their affairs, which can be very long-term. Thus, rather than trying to keep track of your wife's comings and goings and feeling satisfied that "100% of her time is accounted for," I suggest noting that mid-thirties is the time when most women experience peak sexuality (as opposed to most men, whose sex drives peak around 18-20). Then, draw a logical conclusion: your wife is probably having a lot of sex, just not with you.
The sea-change in your relationship with your wife that you've described is so dramatic that an assumption she's seeing one or more other men seems most logical. Given this conjecture (and a continuing insistence from your wife she ISN'T seeing anyone else), you can start thinking of ways to find evidence to establish whether that is or is not the case.

Again, I think D wasn't really prepared for my confession. We had two distinct aspects to our sex life and the confession that I wanted everything to all become one giant Caligula-like fest of pleasure and completely give control of my sexual freedom to her, well, I think it was too much and she wanted to keep that for just us. I really believe D was hurt by my willingness to allow/encourage her to slut around if she wanted to.
I was asking to change the dynamic and give her ALL the power, ALL the time. That was never the case before. Our D/s relationship was based off control, service and sensuality. There was pain involved and discipline, but it was used to enhance the moment or reinforce the control aspect. D is no sadist and I am no masochist. I trust her completely.
Still, it is entirely possible that I am in the dark and D is whoring her way across the entire town, but I think it unlikely.
Thanks again for your comments, Custer. I hope I was able to provide a little more detail to give a more complete picture of my circumstances. I apologize for editing out as much as I did, I just didn't want my post to get too lengthy with all the details.
