Are best friend cuckolds stories common in real life?

One common theme is betrayal. In these stories, either the best friend betrays the trust of the spouse or the spouse betrays their partner by getting too involved with the best friend. Another theme is the blurring of boundaries. Often, there's a lack of clear boundaries between friendship and something more, which leads to the cuckold situation. And also, there's the theme of jealousy. When the situation is discovered, intense jealousy arises among the parties involved.

Well, it's not that common but it does happen. In some cases, it might be due to a breakdown in communication within a marriage. For example, if a husband is always busy at work and neglects his wife's emotional needs, she might form a closer bond with a friend which could potentially lead to such a situation. But overall, most people value loyalty in relationships and such occurrences are the exception rather than the rule.

A typical story might be that your best friend is always around when you're not. They might use the excuse of 'just checking in on your partner' but really be building a connection. For instance, your best friend could start bringing over small gifts for your partner that seem a bit too personal. Or they could be sharing inside jokes that you're not a part of. This can slowly create a sense of exclusion for you and a closer bond between your best friend and your partner that crosses the line of normal friendship.

There was a story where best friends Alex and Ben. Ben got married to a woman. Later, Alex started to spend a lot of time with Ben's wife because they had similar hobbies like painting. Ben at first was a bit jealous. But then he saw that there was no romantic intention from Alex and his wife just enjoyed the company. They all three had a long talk and their friendship became even stronger. So it was a different take on the best friend and cuckold - like scenario.

There was a story where best friends, Dave and Mark. Dave's wife was very friendly with Mark. One day, Dave saw his wife and Mark in a rather compromising situation at a party. It turned out that his wife had been confiding in Mark a lot about their relationship problems and they got too close emotionally. This led to a huge rift between Dave and both his wife and Mark. It shows how important boundaries are in friendships and marriages.

One sign could be if your best friend is overly secretive around your partner. For example, they might always have private conversations that seem a bit too hush - hush. Another sign is if your partner suddenly starts acting differently towards you, like being more distant or cold, and at the same time seems to be getting closer to your best friend. Maybe they start having inside jokes that you're not a part of. Also, if your best friend always seems to be around when you're not there, like they're waiting for you to leave so they can be with your partner, that could be a red flag.

One of my best friend stories is about my friend Tom. We were in high school together. Once, I had a really bad day at school. I failed a big test and was feeling super down. Tom noticed and without saying a word, he took me to our favorite park. We just sat there, watched the ducks in the pond, and he told me some funny jokes. It was so simple but it made me feel a whole lot better. That's when I realized how important true friendship is.

Communication is key. Make sure you have an open conversation with both your best friend and your partner about boundaries. Let them know what you're comfortable with and what you're not.

It's difficult to say how common they are. In today's society, with so many distractions and opportunities for people to interact outside of their marriages, there may be more instances than in the past. But still, a large number of marriages are based on loyalty and commitment, so while it does occur, it might not be the norm. There are also cultural factors at play. In some cultures, any behavior that could lead to a husband feeling cuckolded is highly frowned upon and less likely to happen openly.

One consequence could be the end of the friendship. If the sexual relationship doesn't work out, it can be really awkward and hard to go back to just being friends. There might be feelings of jealousy, resentment, or regret.
