Funny cause that's exactly what I imagine happens when affair partners settle down to a prosaic societally sanctioned relationship.
It's no surprise that things aren't what she expects - she doesn't perform an authentic version of herself. It can suck to be late to the party, but better late than never.

Leave him and find a guy who is more like you (D/s leanings, young enough to get it up consistently, generally monogamous) and let him put his weekly stiffy to more perverted/polyamorous uses.
If JWTBM's boyfriend is in fact looking for someone to satisfy JWTBM's greater sexual needs, he'd have more luck looking for another dude. Particularly since JWTBM never said she was bisexual.
How dare you ask that? None of your business!
And where are people getting "wife" from? They're not married.
General question: The man can only perform once a week due to health reasons. How will adding another woman change that, when he can barely satisfy one?
I postulate insecurity on the part of the man caused by his inability to perform more than once a week. It's likely an ego thing and he is in denial about this and likely getting old in general. (something everyone faces, usually starting around 60, and their own mortality) But, hey what do I know (meant literally, I'm projecting how I might react in his situation)
I hear of a lot of people (guys mostly) complain that before marrying/moving in together, their mates used to perform some acts (say, anal penetration, blowjobs), seemingly freely and happily, but after the marriage/move in they ceased to to so, or do it only grudgingly. And this is not something related to the lack of desire that comes with the wearing off caused by children etc, because it starts early after the marriage/move in, while the lack of desire comes later.
The explanation that comes to my mind is that the not-performing-anymore part of the couple (consciously or unconsciously) felt, before commitment, that kind ok behaviour would keep the other part tied to him/her. Once the yes/living together is gained, the strain to keep the constraint is seen as no longer necessary.
My hypotesis about LW is that she was ok with threesomes before moving in with her lover because of the thrill of it all or because of the tying thing: the moving in stifled the thrill and/or made it not necessary anymore to strain to keep her lover tied to her, because he already is tied through their cohabitation.
She changed her mind, and right or wrong, I think she can't go back. But he DIDN'T change his mind (even if he changed his performing schedule, but this is not his fault), and he deserves to know that she did, sooner than later.
She shouldn't hide her jealousy, either, trying not to make his life a misery in the meantime.
Skeptic@20: I was wondering about the "once a week/two women" thing too. Don't think the new woman is intended to be for LW, 'cos she never said she is bi. This could be a decrease of frequency of sex with LW, which is not fair towards her.
