Hmm? I may have missed that, can you elaborate? Steve got more than a BJ, wihtout Nicole involved, prior to that?
That's what I am discussing, Nicole situations where Steve isn't even present, where she's fucking some other dude. The game initially didn't have that but as time goes on, it's increasingly your typical slut wife and not the both present and exploring together that it started as. Steve may know she's fucking other dudes but that's not the same as both being in the moment and participating.
The last scene with Brandon and his GF in the cabin, Nicole seemed fairly jaded during the scene so even she may be feeling bored with all of it... lol (jk) Seriously, it would be a nice change of pace in the story for Steve to get solo adventures too and her watch like he is. Would at least equal them out, and show her having to deal with it, which as noted, I may have missed something somewhere along the way.
Depending on the route chosen, what's pretty clear is the couple will never go back to the level of intimacy they had before all this. They have their horizons expanded, but also opened Pandora's box, so we'll see how far down the rabbit hole they go and if either of them will ever call a stop to things before they are just off fucking rando's all the time, with or without communication or permission. Most games go that route when the wife turns into the slut and goes full bore down the "I love dicks" route like Nicole is already doing in many scenes. At some point Steve will not be enough for her, that's pretty plain to see and even if they did want to stop I don't think they could, or Nicole would even agree to stop. Plus the fact that Steve treats her like a sex object to just fulfill his fantasies, and she's gone down the path that she does what she wants to get her own desires with no real repercussions, thought or concern for anything but her vagina
