I believe that there are many different kinds of cuckoldry. The common thing among all kinds of cuckoldry, is that the man and woman are married. By definition the cuckold is married to a woman that has sex with other men while he is faithful to his wife.
I believe that most men become cuckolds the same way I did, because their wives were cheating on them, fucking other men without the husbands knowledge. So, in this scenario, humiliation is a natural consequence of discovering that the Lady you married, loved, cherished, put on a pedestal, was now a common slut and fucking other men. Most men are emotionally crushed, humiliated and ashamed that their loving wife is now a slut, without shame, and enjoying fucking other men. Often, as in my case, your friends and family also discover that your wife is a slut. Some will feel compassion for you, try to nurture you, while others will laugh at you and degrade you for being married to a dirty slut. Those of us that love our wives so much, that we choose to stay married to our, now slut wives, are even further degraded and humiliated for not being enough of a man to divorce the filthy slut, tramp, whore and other names that your friends and family have for our slut wives. After many months, maybe years, of great stress and agony of living with our shameless slut wives we break down and accept that we are inferior males and make excuses for why our filthy slut wives are not sluts at all but that they are superior females living their lives free of social acceptability and restrictions; and they are still Ladies. Most of us do not really believe the reasons our wives are sluts. This is evidenced by the fact that we are ashamed to let everyone know we are cuckolds and that we accept that our wives fuck other men while we do not fuck other women.
Just my 2 cents worth.
