A Reddit user recently shared a personal dilemma with fellow Redditors. His wife, who is battling a terminal illness, expressed her last wish to sleep with her ex-boyfriend. While he wants to honour her wish, he is also very disturbed and upset about her wife’s wish.
Reddit User Reveals His Wife’s Last Wish
The anonymous Reddit user decided to share a devastating detail about his life on the platform since there was “no one” he could talk to about the situation he happens to find himself in. His wife of 10 years, who is the “love of his life” is battling a terminal disease and he is trying his best to make her last days as easy and beautiful for her as possible.
“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,” wrote the Reddit user.
He revealed that his wife has nine months at the most according to the doctors.
“The doctors said that she was likely to need a wheelchair in 4 or 5 months, then by month 8 she’ll be bedridden for the last few weeks. That’s if she doesn’t decline faster.”
After learning about her deteriorating health, his wife sat him down to reveal her dying wish which was to ‘have sex with a previous partner of hers.” The husband revealed that it upset him but he did not do what was the right thing to do.
“I of course was shocked and when I asked why the f**k she wants that. So basically she thinks that her most physically compatible satisfying lover was him.”
He further added that while his wife ensured him that it’s just about physical fulfilment and there’s no emotional attachment, he was still infuriated.
“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.”
The Reddit user continued,
“So now I’m left with this, deny my dying wife a wish for my own ego, or let her go f**k another man who she feels was better. Honestly, I’m so p***ed off and betrayed that she asked this of me. I feel like I’m put in a position where I have to say yes because she’s dying.”
The user added that he was not sure what he’s supposed to do in this situation and asked for suggestions from the fellow Redditors.
“I know what I want to say, but I don’t know if that’s right. 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. I’m really not sure what to do.”
Redditors React
Everyone has an opinion on the internet, and clearly there were a lot of fellow Redditors who had to share their two cents about the Reddit user’s situation.
One said, “If this is a real story, well then, just pack her stuff and let her live with her ex for the rest of her time.”
Another user stated, “Sorry but her illness is not an excuse to treat you like s**t. That is incredibly insulting to you and your relationship.”
There was another user who enraged on the Reddit user’s behalf, “This seems like a very odd request to bring to you without any leg work or preparation. That she would significantly risk blowing up her marriage and end of life companionship and care for sex with someone she isn’t in contact with and doesn’t know would still even entertain the thought of intimacy with her.”
