Respect?

Is there kind of an inherent loss of respect - or at least a shift in role - that comes with cuckolding? I know when done right it's still a relationship decision, but do women see a man differently after he has allowed someone else to assume the dominant role in his sex life? And do other people - vanilla people - notice this too?
I ask because I remember I was dating a very dominant woman who did put me in my place often. My group of friends noticed, since we hung out a lot. She always had her feet on me, she could snap her fingers to make me do something, and she would give me a few swats on the butt in full view of everyone to remind me - and them - who was in charge. Our group of friends didn't know the extent to which she dominated me, but they still picked up on it and thought it was entertaining. She would talk with - and flirt with - them often, although when I was around her friends I was not to speak unless spoken to (and they knew that). It got to the point where if people wanted to plan things with us, they wouldn't even tell me - they'd just ask her, because they knew I needed her permission.
I wouldn't say there was a loss of respect there, but there was a shift in how they saw me, I think. They expected me to be more submissive, which was fine with me, because I enjoy serving. Even after it ended, she kept in good touch with my friends to rub it in, and it worked. They were always willing to pass along the details of her dating life. She's with a real man now, and I haven't talked to her in a while, although I might see about getting in touch again soon.
Either way, do you think cuckolding changes a cuck's place socially? Should it?

Yes, I do think becoming a cuckold changes the cuck's life in many ways. Not just the sexual side of things, but generally the cuck becomes much more submissive to his wife/partner etc, seeking her permission and approval for much of what he does, even in everyday 'ordinary' things. There is an inherent loss of respect by the cuck because he's no longer the Alpha male, she's the one in charge, and it often shows.
Your ex's attitude obviously changed you, to the point your friends knew who was the prime mover in the relationship, and it wasn't you. Do you feel humbled, you should?

Yes, Sir, I do feel humbled. It's actually kind of humil-i-ating looking back. It definitely did change me - just the other day someone made a joke bout how I needed her permission to do things, and it got a laugh. Since she kept in touch with them after it ended, I suspect she might have passed some details along too, such as how I could never please her, and always had to go down on her to make up for it. She taught me a valuable lesson about being submissive. I'm thankful for that, and hope she's happy with her man now, although it always makes me cuckold-jealous to think of them.

I don't crave hum_il-iation in my life EXCEPT after my cuck tendencies came out. My wife doesn't insult me sexually because she thinks it will hurt my feelings. It would NOT! To the contrary, it gets me hard when she compares with the other men she has spread her legs to. When I can pry the details from her (unless I was there when she was fucked) invariably I am always smaller... and a much slower fuck than she likes. She tries to be gentle when she compares me to the other, younger, longer lasting and larger cocks they give her but she doesn't know that I WANT her to let me know how I cannot compete with these men in ANY way. They are superior. That is the simple fact. I know it to be true from experience and I fully accept my sexual inferiority. This is one reason why I only get pussy once a year if I'm lucky.

When I speak to the men before a meeting is arranged, I am usually the one that does that, I let them know that once they are in bed with my lady she is THEIR wife, not mine. I give them all my rights as a husband. It annoys me when they are enjoying my woman if they stop and ask permission from me to do this or that. I want them to take her from me and all my husbandly rights along with her pussy.

I guess I'm not the typical cuck but that is the way it is with us.

I think that is very true. Even after my divorce I noticed how much more submissive I have become. A female friend picked up on this and cleverly began dominating me online and by text, to the point that she easily opened me up to tell her all my weaknesses, fantasies and secrets. At one stage I was attending her house once a week to do chores and would serve her coffee naked whilst she criticised my physique and lack of manliness. Eventually she bedded me several times and although she praised my oral skills, she enjoyed belittling me over my penis size and lack of prowess in bed. I was surprised how much I had changed and how much I enjoyed being so submissive.

My current girlfriend is a different kettle of fish entirely, quite shy and inexperienced, but even with her she now realises that I enjoy and encourage her to be the boss in the relationship and that I am aroused when she refers to me as her "good boy". Being younger and smaller than me, she seems to relish being in charge too.

i know for sure our relationship changed. It was as if I were a room mate as opposed to a husband but I welcomed those changes as I was wanting to move further along with my being more feminine. she recognized this and so we actually helped each other transition from a marriage to two single women. we each had men in our lives and we enjoyed girl talk at times. but even when she was first starting to see others before we had our "talk" she was more independent which made me more dependent on her as well. looking back I was apathetic excuse for a husband and I can not see why she stayed as long a she did. I definitely think it changes both the husband and the wife when she experiences life with a real man.

On the contrary I dominate my wife who needs my permission to have a lover

There are many legitimate reasons where a man is unable to sex a woman. Injury, congenital defects, intersex, medicine interactions and many similar maladies may prevent any man from sexual ability or even sexual interest! A wife may have a loving, understanding husband willing to allow her to receive sexual satisfaction elsewhere. This post has no negative thoughts or feelings for such couples. We all have to live as best as we can with the hand we're dealt!

Otherwise..........

Yes. A cheating wife basically blows her husband's balls off with her lover's cock. Pure and simple. When a cuckold's wife finds fullness and relief from her lover's prick, both wife and cuck realize that she has unmanned her hubby. Cucky must accept and deal with his wife's decision and choice. She can't help but lose respect for a man who will step aside and allow another man to rule her cunt. Same thing when a wife sees her hubby suck a cock. Sooner rather than later she'll start calling him a cocksucker. He literally blows his image in her eyes! It is hard for a woman to look up to and respect a man who is always on his knees and groveling at her feet.
