"And by the way. Before asking me out, he told me something funny. He said he really liked dating married women, because that way he would know that his date would have sex with him even on the first date. So I guess that by saying yes to him, I'm pretty much committed to spending the night with him. I mean -- I wouldn't want him to think I was a prude or anything like that. You understand, don't you?"
As shocked as you are by what your wife is telling you, it's obvious that she's made up her mind and that she WILL be going out on a date with him and WILL be having sex with him, so all you say at that point is that, yes, you do understand.
Everything was going according to plan -- except that at the last moment you were getting cold feet as you realized your wife really was going to go down the hall to your best friend's room and spend the night having sex with him. But your wife had no intention of letting you change things now. She was determined to make you her cuckold.
