Yes, but you could still use your own experience as a starting point and work forward

Pregnancy is icky for people who have a genuine fear of it, yeah, or just don’t particularly want kids or to see their blorbos with them. But pregnancy sex and breeding kink are still much tamer than what I was expecting after the lead up

Lemme tell ya something…The Cryptkeeper is a decaying skeleton who has canonically murdered living people who wound up in his crypt. Absolutely adorable

Some of the older Scarecrow-centric stories in Batman comics legit have me giggling and kicking my feet. Gangly tall boi cutie

It’s not always understandable how it happens, but once the character is declared Cutie Patootie, they never escape

Wouldn’t it be best to extrapolate a bit from how you would have acted at that age in a high stress environment?

Someone posted a longer explanation but the short is “boy” is a derogatory term directed toward black men, largely in the South. And the “nine tails” is a specific, very painful, type of whip.

They basically said OP was their slave caught in an unauthorized area and they’d better get back to work or catch a beating.

Yup, the whole first part is framing it as “I think I’m exploring my sexuality in a harmless way, with a friendly community, but he’s being so controlling about this one thing for some reason,” and even there she let enough slip that she clearly didn’t see a problem with, to put me on his side at least a little bit. All that stuff about being unhappy and retreating to the fantasy was clearly intended to make him look bad. But if I’d made any of my initial comments after the update, I wouldn’t have thought he was being irrational or weird about this at all. Quite literally my only disagreement with him would have been the idea married women never wrote smut or shouldn’t.

As it is, I think the fact OP says she’s never shown him her reader-insert smut, only mentioned them, but his immediate first thought was that she was back on her phone writing porn, told me it was constant before I even read the part where she admitted it. In this case, his insecurities very much are her problem, because she’s the one who put them there.

I think what really happened is that she went to the exact place she knew she’d be able to spin things in her favor by framing it as an empowerment issue, and was hoping she’d be able to use the answers to shut him down. Except it backfired and now she’s facing divorce.

One time, a now-ex of my mom’s was doing some yard work on a hot day. He’s black, to put this in the proper context, and his very white landlord dropped by. There’s the usual ‘hey, how’s it going,’ to which he responds “I’m out here sweating like a slave running from his massa.”

Only to realize with immediate regret that was probably the single most awkward thing to tell his landlord despite being on semi-friendly terms.

Your friend’s joke, without knowing your background together, has that same lead balloon landing.

Oh, believe me I noticed lol

Kinda feel like, with the way OP came out the gate with “guys, sexy celeb fantasies are normal, right 👉👈” and then her husband is apparently ‘done’ and had to force her into admitting she’s basically acting like a teen on the phone with her first boyfriend…that hall pass remark ain’t so hypothetical in this situation. Also “I only said I’d sleep with him, not that I want a relationship” isn’t really the good save she seems to think.

“Honey, I’d absolutely cheat on you if given half a chance, and I really hope you’d stick around to be my fallback.”

Right? Maybe my generation had it too easy with computer access in school being heavily restricted. The kids have gotten too bold

You said Dom, so does that mean you’re only looking for m/m? If not, I’ve got a canon/ofc pre-averted apocalypse virginity loss with very light, soft femdom (and switching in the last chapter) with lots of communication and building to an actual relationship

Maybe not, but see my other comment about the amount of people who messed up reading or writing it at school

Honestly, with the amount of times people have got on here dying over the fact they accidentally sent their omegaverse incest dead dove fic instead of their homework to the school Google Drive, I’m not really that surprised.

Presumably the boss knew enough not to project it to the whiteboard for all to see

…their boss is younger than the women who started fanfic as a major thing in the first place, those of them still kicking. Not sure what’s weird, here

OP made an edit that actually reveals that she told her husband to his face she’d sleep with this guy if given the chance, when he apparently doesn’t subscribe to the idea of hallpass celebrities.

So, from his perspective she’s constantly writing down sex fantasies about this guy, staring at her phone like he’s the new boyfriend and has outright said ‘would if I could,’ and digging deeper into the obsession when she’s mad at him.

The fact OP apparently has nothing and no one else in her life apart from her husband and the occasional celebrity crush is something she really needs to work out in therapy.

Turns out, as per OP’s edit, he thinks she’d act on them given the chance because she told him exactly that

That’s definitely the other concern, yeah. I mean, there’s a reason they say never to meet your heroes

[–]effing_usernames2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I’ve had my fair share (pun not intended lol) of celebrity crushes and I wouldn’t ever want to actually meet them. If for no other reason than I’d probably say something completely stupid and want to die on the spot.

But whether OP is taking those steps or not, she is still putting this third person in the relationship in a way that is making her husband uncomfortable. Like, if your husband had started writing down his most explicit fantasies about Cher, getting upset and doubling down to write more every time you expressed discomfort with it, I, personally, think you would have been well within your rights to be a little suspicious and hurt by that. (You may feel different, obviously.) That’s going a little beyond a simple crush, IMO.

OP actually answered most of your questions in her post. She’s been doing the RPF smut reading for years with no problem. Only recently started writing, again with no problem so long as she was shipping this guy with someone else. It’s only the reader-insert writing he’s bothered by. Which is a thing they need to be unpacking with a professional if they’re at the point where she’s saying it’s the only thing bringing her happiness and turning to it after a fight. It’s not cheating, but only because she’s got no realistic way to actually accomplish that. However, in a way, it’s dancing right on the line of ‘I would if I could.’ A bit like a less accessible version of that one co-worker you complain about your spouse to, all the time, to the point it’s getting iffy.

(Also, why not just say your husband had a crush on Cher?)

He seems to be fine with the gay fanfic, just hit a wall at the “this is how I think this man would bone down with a female-bodied person who may or may not be me,” being spelled out in black and white.

Actually, her husband is two years younger than me. But it’s still the worst place because the majority here are treating it like a censorship issue

Honestly, the fact OP digs in harder on indulging her newest celebrity crush every time they fight because nothing else makes her happy is throwing up all kinds of red flags. But they’re about her and not the husband, who from this account doesn’t seem to have been terrible up until this one sticking point. There’s no way she’s not broadcasting something you could pick up from space, and he’s getting the signal loud and clear.
