I concur with the other advice. Communication is the key. I have been fortunate enough to have had two long time couples in the past 13 years. I stumbled across my first one in that her husband brought me back to their table in a hotel bar and we went from there. I never really knew much about the lifestyle before then. My second couple was younger and novices. We constantly sat down and talked and I advised them to continue to communicate as there are times when situations will be tough, scenarios will become a bit overwhelming, and we all have our mind that can create things that may not be reality. So, talk to your wife, have her talk with you and if the boyfriend is a reasonable person and well grounded, then he will encourage, participate in, and sometimes even direct the conversation if he is experienced. Good luck in your pursuits as the ride is extremely exciting.
