Maybe you should get yourself a dictionary. cuck·old ˈkəkəld,ˈkəkōld/Submit nounarchaic noun: cuckold; plural noun: cuckolds 1. the husband of an adulteress, often regarded as an object of derision. verb verb: cuckold; 3rd person present: cuckolds; past tense: cuckolded; past participle: cuckolded; gerund or present participle: cuckolding 1. (of a man) make (another man) a cuckold by having a sexual relationship with his wife. (of a man's wife) make (her husband) a cuckold. Origin late Old English, from Old French cucuault, from cucu ‘cuckoo’ (from the cuckoo's habit of laying its egg in another bird's nest). The equivalent words in French and other languages applied to both the bird and the adulterer; cuckold has never been applied to the bird in English.

There are other, more recent, connotations of the word “cuckold” that seem more appropriate in your case. However, you seem to have been quite unbalanced by taking it as a comment about you under the more archaic meaning.
