We may never know the truth about this incident, but I have seen a huge amount of mis/disinformation about how their open relationship fits into this equation. Pretty much all the Vanillas who don't understand open relationships are sure that Will is being humiliated by this dynamic, because from a patriarchal standpoint, it would be humiliating to have your woman openly seeing other people. But that's not the dynamic in consensual non-monogamy, as you already know.

I've seen several clips of him talking about the love = freedom aspect which aligns with what I know about polyamory and/or CNM - something that has no intrinsic relationship to cuckolding. My husband loves to see me with another man, but not because it makes him feel cuckolded or humiliated. I think we need to be careful about assuming that we know what is taking place inside other people's relationships, particularly when they are CNM and cannot be evaluated through the lens of patriarchal paradigms.
