A woman's impending mortality led her to request her husband: the opportunity to sleep with her ex before her time ran out.
Seeking solace, the husband sought guidance on Reddit, feeling isolated and uncertain about how to navigate this emotionally charged situation.
A woman with only nine months remaining to live.
A woman who had just nine months left to live made a heartbreaking request to her devastated husband: she asked if she could sleep with her ex one last time.
The anonymous husband turned to Reddit for advice, feeling like he had no one else to confide in about his difficult situation.
The husband began by expressing how utterly devastated he was upon learning that his wife had a terminal disease and that her time left was limited to just nine months.
Having been married for a decade, he couldn't imagine a life without her and was struggling to cope with the impending loss.
He shared that he had been doing his best to make her last days as good as possible and to fulfill any wishes she had.

However, the woman's request took him by surprise.
She revealed that her dying wish was to have one last sexual encounter with a previous partner of hers.
The husband was taken aback and couldn't comprehend why she would want that.
According to the woman's explanation, she believed that her ex was her most physically compatible and satisfying lover.
She argued that sometimes sex is merely physical and doesn't necessarily reflect the emotional fulfillment she experienced with her husband.
The husband felt hurt and betrayed by her request, struggling with the idea that she wanted to engage in an intimate act with someone from her past, even if it was her final wish.
Now faced with a difficult decision, the husband found himself torn between denying his dying wife's wish due to his ego or allowing her to fulfill it with another man whom she believed was better.
He felt a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion, not knowing what the right course of action was.
The Reddit post garnered numerous comments from users offering their thoughts and advice.
Some suggested that if the story was genuine, the husband should simply pack his wife's belongings and let her live with her ex for the remainder of her time.
Others believed that her illness should not excuse treating the husband poorly and that her request was disrespectful to their relationship.
