So you have to ask the husband for permission? I'm not sure you have been at the right events. Honestly while both of us have veto power if you ask me like she is my property instead of asking her it's going to be a no. Now if you ask her she will talk to me about it but she is the one that gives permission. I think you may be judging the situation a bit wrong still. She already has my permission as it were to have sex with other men should she want to. She still wants my opinion and me involved as well as in the room (I like to watch her have fun) before she says yes or sometimes she is looking for a polite way to say no and using me as the "scapegoat". You on the other hand as a single male do not need my permission because you are not having sex with me. Oh and there is nothing worse than when a guy asks me if it is okay to do this or that in the moment instead of her unless it is the guy that has to ask his wife for permission to do this or that once things have started. We had one guy ask his wife if it was okay for him to fuck mine (mine was giving him a BJ) while his wife was at the threshold of orgasm. He was not sure she said okay or not and waited for her to come down off that cloud then asked again. Oh and his wife was mad he bothered her and did not just do it. In his defense they were kind of new at it.
The right time
It just takes time but the respect is always on my part to both people
Welcome and lets just say if you dont give "us" both the respect we want and will do so in return to you.. you are not going to screw her.. she is her own woman.. makes all decisions on her own.. alone and together... its really just good old fashion respect and communication same as in life for "us",
