Most people, even people "in the lifestyle" or privy to candid discussion about the lifestyle, do not realize that there is a lot about this lifestyle that is different than the lives vanilla people lead.
When you have one male you are married to but another man that you have had sex with more than once - especially if you have entered into a relationship with this man, it can be quite difficult and demanding. These men call, expecting and wanting what this relationship calls for, what their expectations require, all while balancing responsibilities to husband, career, children, family, very vanilla friends, and even neighbors. All the while, this man or men are calling or even just showing up, wanting what they want and have come to believe, rightly or wrongly, they have a right to expect. And, as relationships with these men deepens, these expectations and these rights, well perceived or not, expand over time.
And, since these relationships are "relationships," they become interwoven with other relationships, no matter how hard you work at discretion. You can divorce a husband, break up with a boyfriend, etc. There is no legal or socially acceptable mechanism for ending a relationship with a bull. It all has to be done through negotiation with involved parties and "non-involved" parties - all while juggling all your other responsibilities.
No one really understands this except possibly the few people directly involved - the wife, the bull and maybe the husband. No one knows what truly goes on behind someone's closed bedroom door - particularly if you have accepted another man into your marriage.
