I actually got to thinking about my own question anyway, because there is of course the possibility I end up free of the belt in the future. My wife has requested I remain locked in the event she passed before I do, and has made arrangements for her best friend to keyhold. I feel like I would want to respect that for a while, but without the force of my wife’s personality behind it, I doubt I would remain devoted to the belt for life. Eventually, I’d talk my keyholder into freeing me and if that happened, I would not willingly go back into the belt on my own. (Plus there’s always the unlikely prospect of divorce, in which case I’m definitely unlocking.)
i don’t love the belt, but I don’t particularly loathe it, either. One reason I accepted it was because I believe in being a traditional wife, obedient to her spouse. So I’d be drawn to someone authoritative anyway. If I was in a future relationship, I would never request to be locked up again, and they would know I did not particularly relish being closed. If they asked me to wear the belt again, I would seriously consider it. If they insisted, I would be even more inclined.
I suppose it would depend on their reasoning, and we would need a firmly worded contract. If the belt was an instrument of control or torment or just a fetish toy to them, no way. If they recognized it as a symbol of devotion, and something that must be worn for my own good? Then I would seriously consider becoming a belted wife again.
