For those who want to see some consequences for Steph, what would you imagine those consequences to be? Serious question.
Its fine to say it but how would that be achieved? Please don't say divorce because out side of Asahibito's mod, it isn't going to happen.
Since this is a VN, I'd settle for Steph treating the MC like a partner post reveal instead of a whipping boy. I'd like Steph to show she was sorry through actions and in her behaviour towards the MC and put him first.
One of the earlier posters said it, but I'll add some thoughts.
The issue so far has been Stef's lack of self-control and selfish behavior that prioritizes her lust for "new dick" over everything else. It's not even "group sex" she wants because she's ignored anyone other than her and the guy for multiple situations, which means she wants "new dick" not just group stuff. One could very loosely explain away her very rude, aggressive and self-centered behavior on Friday night that she justified because she was jealous, drunk and horny, but I wouldn't excuse or accept that behavior, especially with how she reacted to the MC. It's been pretty clear the dev wants Stef as a loose-cannon slut, or at least the first part so far, not sure if the dev will change that (doubt so) but we'll see.
So how would Stef condone her actions? I think the first part of it is to curb-stomb her desires. The MC would give a flying fuck about what she wants, and she would be forced to watch, or at least listen to the MC railing a few women without her involvement. This is a bit "tit-for-tat" I'll freely admit, but Stef has GOT to learn that everything doesn't go her way and that she is a EQUAL in this, not the dominating partner (this would be HC route I suppose).
If she started acting like a partner, not just going out of control, debasing the MC and acting like a total slut & bitch, then gradually she could be included back into the actions. I'd think that as she's still sort of on 'probation' at this point she'd have to be a cuckqueen for a good while, while the MC got their share of other women long before Stef ever had another cock involved.
Last part of this, is that Stef would
never again without expression permission, asked for at that moment have anyone but her husband creampie her. She would also not instigate anything with any other guy without the MC granting permission, or at least approving anything beyond kissing and groping, no fingering, no oral, definitely no sex. But for this past part the MC, if they were back on a more even footing and Stef really had repented and improved her outlook, the MC would also follow the permission required acts.
I assume all of the above would be HC type route, but honestly, the HC route is probably the only one that even is holding Stef accountable for her actions. As many noted, how she's acted so far would be heading to a major break in the marriage if that really happened, not only for her breach of trust (multiple times) but complete disregard of any feedback, emotional or otherwise, that her partner (that she supposedly loves but ignores and belittles) provided.
She's got a LOT to make up for and having her and her selfish desires take a decided back seat, and even initially be excluded from things but be forced to accept the same situation back as she iinstigated, would be the most clear way to reinforce it's not "all about her". Otherwise we're back to the MC is a weak spined dude who is a pseudo-cuck and gives free reign to what she wants and has to get her permission to do anything himself.
