My boyfriend and I have been together for four years, and throughout our relationship, we’ve struggled with sexual compatibility—mainly because of his deep cuckold fetish. I’ve done my best to learn about it and get comfortable with it, but it remains the biggest source of tension between us. He wants this dynamic most of the time, while sometimes, I just want to have sex and connect like a “normal” couple in love.
Recently, I had a gut feeling about a girl who followed him on Instagram, so I confronted him. It turns out he had paid a cam girl to sext him with cuckold themes. I can see my role in this—we’ve had times where I’ve shut him down when he wanted to sext in this way, and I know my brain doesn’t work like his. I’m not constantly thinking about how to sext him in a cuckold style, even though I try to meet him halfway. Just this past weekend, we even recorded some cuckold-style videos for him to watch when he pleases. And yet, despite all that, he still felt like he couldn’t ask me when he was in the mood and instead turned to a cam girl.
I don’t know what to do. Part of me feels like this is a breakup-worthy offense and that no matter how much he swears he won’t do it again, he will. But another part of me wonders if this is small in the grand scheme of our relationship and if I should try to work through it. How do I know if this is something we can move past, or if our differences in sexual needs will always be an issue?
Your concerns are completely valid, and I can see how this situation has left you feeling both frustrated and conflicted. At its core, this isn’t just about the act of sexting a cam girl—it’s about trust, boundaries, and long-term compatibility in your relationship dynamic.
From what you’ve described, your boyfriend has a deeply ingrained cuckold fetish, and it appears to be a fundamental part of his sexuality. While you have done your best to meet him halfway, even recording videos for him and engaging in cuckold-style interactions, there is still a clear disconnect—he feels unfulfilled to the extent that he sought out paid sexting. This suggests that the frequency and intensity of his needs may go beyond what you are naturally comfortable providing.
Before making any decisions, you need to ask yourself: Is this a sexual preference you are willing to continually accommodate, or is it becoming emotionally exhausting for you? There is no right or wrong answer here, but it’s important to be honest with yourself. Some partners can find a balance where the cuckold dynamic is something they engage in occasionally, while others feel pressured to provide something that doesn’t come naturally. Over time, this can lead to resentment.
As for whether this is a breakup-worthy offense, that depends on how you define trust and infidelity in your relationship. While he didn’t physically cheat, emotional and sexual exclusivity are about more than just physical boundaries—they are about agreed-upon trust and communication. The fact that he turned to a cam girl instead of communicating his needs openly suggests he either felt ashamed to ask you or assumed you would shut him down. This is a communication issue at its core.
If you want to work through this, the first step is having an honest conversation where you express your feelings without judgment or blame. Instead of focusing solely on what he did, explore why he felt the need to do it—was it purely out of frustration? Did he feel emotionally disconnected from you? Or does he feel that his cuckold fantasy is so deeply ingrained that he needs more of it than you can provide?
If, after talking, you feel that his needs and your comfort levels are fundamentally incompatible, then this may be a sign that your relationship is not sustainable in the long run. However, if you both want to find a solution, you could explore structured boundaries—perhaps designated times or ways for him to engage with this dynamic while keeping your relationship secure.
The bottom line: This is not just about what he did—it’s about whether your relationship can function with this level of sexual disparity in the long term. If accommodating his fetish feels like a burden rather than something you can enjoy, then it may be time to reevaluate whether this is the right relationship for you.
