Husband heartbroken after wife with 9 months left to live asks for sleeping with ex one last time
The husband, who has been married to her for ten years, shared his feelings on a popular social media platform, Reddit.
He explained that his wife’s diagnosis was devastating.
The doctors informed them that she would soon need a wheelchair and would eventually be bedridden.
This news shocked him, as he could not imagine life without her.
The post continues: “I don’t remember life without her and I don’t know what I’m going to do when she’s gone.
I have been doing my best to make the last days of her life good and grant whatever wish I can.”
While trying to support his wife during this difficult time, he was taken aback when she expressed her desire to be intimate with a former lover.
He wrote about his feelings of betrayal and confusion.
He couldn’t understand why she would want to be with someone else, especially when their relationship was strong.
The husband said: “I of course was shocked and when I asked why the f**k she wants that.”
In his post, he described how he felt “destroyed” by her request.
He loved her deeply and wanted to fulfill her wishes, but this particular wish felt like a blow to his heart.
He was torn between wanting to make her happy and feeling hurt that she wanted to have a final encounter with someone else.
The wife explained her reasoning to him.
She felt that her ex was a better physical match and wanted to experience their past intimacy one last time.
She emphasized that sex could be purely physical and that her emotional connection with her husband was different.
“So basically she thinks that her most physically compatible satisfying lover was him.
She gave a whole monologue about how sex sometimes is just physical and how emotionally fulfilling sex is with me but it was bulls**t to get to that point.”
As he reflected on her request, he found himself in a dilemma.
“I feel like I’m put in a position where I have to say yes because she’s dying,” he adds.
“I’m so hurt that sex with an ex was apparently so good that she needs to do it once before she dies. I just hate everything about this,” he continued.
However, he also believed that her request was unfair to their marriage.
Many Reddit users weighed in on this emotional situation.
Some supported the husband, agreeing that his wife’s wish was disrespectful to their marriage.
They felt that her request was a way of dismissing the love and commitment they had shared over the years.
Others suggested that if she truly wanted to do this, she should consider living with her ex for the remainder of her life.
Forget that! She would be on her own in a hospice! One user said.
Welp, good luck dying alone, the second user said.
It’s hard enough being left behind but with that on top. So wrong.
I wander if her condition affects her mentally at all. Could explain this behavior, the third user said.
At least she asked him. Most would just go and do it, another wrote.
