Woman with 9 months left to live asks husband if she can sleep with ex just one last time
A heartbroken husband has revealed that his dying wife has expressed a very specific wish.
Because he felt like there was 'no one I can tell', he took to Reddit to open up about this horrific situation.
The husband writes that he was initially 'destroyed' after finding out that the love of his life, his wife of ten years, has a 'terminal disease'.
He says that she was only expected to live for another 'nine months' at the most.

"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 said.
"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."
If circumstances weren't bad enough, his wife sat him down to reveal her dying wish was to 'have sex with a previous partner of hers'.
I mean, wow.
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."
Let's just say fellow Redditors were pretty savage in the comments section.
"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.
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."
Someone else also raged: "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."
Honestly, it really is an unfathomable situation.
