Woman with 9 months left to live asked husband if she could sleep with ex just one last time
A woman who had just nine months to live asked her devastated husband if she could sleep with her ex one last time.
I mean, wow.
The anonymous husband took to Reddit because he felt like there was 'no one I can tell' about his situation.
The husband began by explaining how he was initially 'destroyed' after finding out his wife had a 'terminal disease' and that she wouldn't be around for longer than nine months.

After being married for ten years, the husband was understandably devastated.
"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," he explained.
"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."
You'd think that circumstances couldn't get worse, but then the man was left shocked by one of his wife's final wishes.
Sitting him down, the woman revealed her dying wish was to 'have sex with a previous partner of hers'.
He explained: "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.
"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 man 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.
"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."
Many have flocked to the comments section of the Reddit post to provide their thoughts.
"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," one person said.
While another added: "Sorry but her illness is not an excuse to treat you like s**t. That is incredibly insulting to you and your relationship."
