As we all know, a cuckold is a husband whose wife is cheating on him, but he does not know about it. (despite frequent incorrect usage on this board.)
The term for a man who tolerates or even enjoys his wife's infidelity is a wittol.
But how about someone who is kind of in-between? He doesn't know for sure that his wife is cheating on him. But he is beginning to suspect. Little pieces of evidence are beginning to mount. How does he feel about it? Certainly it would be anger at first, but then there might be an element of titillation (or not, depending on his personality).
What does he do to find out for sure? Does he spy on her, set little traps, ask her cunning questions? What emotions run through his mind? Are they positive or negative?
And in the end, the author has to decide if a) she was cheating on him all along, or b) she wasn't, it was all in his mind, or c) - my favorite - he leaves it up in the air, and the reader has to decide for himself.
Of course there is also a1 vs a2 - does the husband accept it or reject it if it is true?
Anyway, I have no intention of writing this, but I would read it if someone else does. Free to a good home!
