What could be the possible reasons for a husband to hide and watch his wife have sex?

Perhaps he has lost interest in the relationship himself and doesn't care anymore.

One possible reason could be that the husband has some sort of guilt. Maybe he has done something wrong in the relationship and he thinks allowing his wife this brief affair could be a form of compensation. Another reason might be that they have an open - minded view on relationships and they believe this short - term affair won't damage their long - term bond. It could also be that the husband is unable to meet certain emotional or physical needs of his wife, so he reluctantly gives her permission for a brief affair.

The most obvious consequence is the breakdown of the marriage. The wife may feel extremely violated and betrayed, and the husband has broken the trust that should exist in a marriage. The friendship with the so - called 'friend' will also likely be destroyed.

Maybe the wife believes the story has some valuable insights that can help the husband in his personal growth. It could be a story about handling stress or making better decisions. By forcing him to watch it, she hopes he'll pick up on those important messages. Also, it might be related to a family matter. For instance, if it's a story about family unity and she feels their family needs to work on that aspect, she'll make him watch it.

One possible reason could be stress. If the wife is stressed at work or with other aspects of her life, she may not be in the mood for sex. Another reason might be relationship issues, like unresolved arguments or a growing emotional distance. Also, health problems, either physical or mental, can play a role. For example, hormonal imbalances in women can significantly affect their libido.

In some very dark fictional stories, it could be due to extreme cowardice. The husband might be too afraid to act against the perpetrator. Another reason could be some sort of mind control or blackmail situation where he is forced to watch.

One possible reason could be his inability to handle the stress of having a sick wife. He might be looking for an escape from the difficult situation at home. Another reason could be his own lack of moral values.

One reason could be a sense of inadequacy. They might feel that they are not fulfilling their partner's needs, so they turn to these stories for some form of escapism. Another reason could be curiosity that they are too ashamed to admit openly.

Perhaps he feels guilty about something he has done in the relationship, like having an affair himself, and he thinks by allowing her to cheat, it will make up for his wrongdoings in some way. Another reason could be that he has some kind of self - esteem issue and believes that his wife is too good for him, so he gives her the 'permission' to seek someone else.

It could be that he made the request impulsively without considering the long - term consequences. Afterward, he might have realized that it has a negative impact on their family unit, especially if they have children. Also, he may start to feel insecure about his own self - worth. If his wife engages with another man, he might start to question his own adequacy as a husband, which leads to regret.
