OP defined that he “obtained alongside together with her household till the top.” As for his ex-wife’s sister, OP added, “I didn’t know her sister that properly since both we had been in school or she was in school (away from us), however I clearly had met her a number of occasions and had a cordial relationship together with her – by no means felt any bizarre vibes whereas married to her sister.” He additionally famous his ex wasn’t that shut together with her sister, however “additionally they didn’t have any sick will towards one another.”

In the course of the catch-up, he discovered his ex is engaged and pleased, her mother and father are properly and had even requested Riley how OP was doing, which she did not know as he and his ex “sort of wished a clear break.”

“If I had simply run into her as a stranger and there was no historical past, if I am being sincere it will have made my day to have been requested that,” he continued, however as a result of it was Riley, “I maintain pondering it is bizarre, like, she’s clearly a grown lady now however she was an adolescent once I began relationship my ex spouse.”

He shortly dismissed potential “grooming” accusations, reiterating he “did not see her all that a lot,” however did add, “I might really feel bizarre going to her mother and father, virtually being like ‘hey, I made a decision to offer your different daughter a attempt!’”

“Then how would my ex really feel about it? Wouldn’t it smash her relationship together with her sister?” he continued. “And if we obtained severe, I might need to see my ex spouse at features, which I do not care that a lot about but it surely’s nonetheless odd, you already know?”

“Then I obtained these intrusive ideas like – is that this my unconscious attempting to make my failed marriage appear to be successful?” OP went on. “Then there’s like – what if Riley had the identical tendencies that made you and ex incompatible?”

“However I really feel like I am additionally not being honest to Riley,” he concluded his preliminary put up. “Riley has an amazing household, she appears to have her stuff collectively, she was pleasing to speak to. I really feel like I might be permitting my previous to throw away a probably nice associate…I do not know, I am actually confused. Assist me!”

“Like… What sort of head damage makes him suppose this is able to be a chill enjoyable time 😂” commented one Redditor, whereas one other responded fairly crassly, “His d–k.” One other reacted, “I’m useless at this reply as a result of in what f–king world may this ever be a good suggestion 😂 man resides in a rom com in his head.”

One other commenter provided an analogous response that obtained OP’s consideration, writing, “Politely decline, as a result of this can be a chaotic mess within the making. Do not suppose together with your d–k, chief.” OP wrote again, “I actually did not suppose that is what I used to be doing however man, the extra I learn these replies…”

“I feel you’d have a greater time being waterboarded than having to attend household features the place you are relationship your ex-wife’s sister,” provided one other within the top-voted remark, with greater than 4.5K upvotes.

Whereas many had been tearing into OP for even contemplating this, there was some appreciation for the complexity and honesty of his thought processes. “I am impressed by OP’s honesty and skill to personal his emotions and ‘stuff,’” wrote one. They even urged that after some counseling and a chat with the ex, he may “re-address the chance.”

OP was very energetic within the feedback, like when requested about potential future comparisons, he admitted he hadn’t thought that far. “A pair folks talked about issues like if I ‘noticed her bare and he or she regarded like her sister how would you’re feeling?’ – I did not even freaking take into account that,” OP wrote. “One that really grossed me out – ‘Am I higher than my sister,’ – critically, I had not even thought-about that.”

Lots of people known as the sister out, suspicious of her intentions. Whereas some conceded possibly she’d simply heard nice issues about him, others noticed one other risk. “The youthful sister is a snake,” wrote one, whereas one other warned, “I’m undecided what revenge plot this youthful sister is on, however keep far-off from it dude.”

“Is she the one lady in your 100 mile radius?” requested nonetheless one other.

Because it went alongside, OP started to comprehend that loads of his uncertainty on this state of affairs — which Reddit appeared to have zero uncertainty about — was extra about the place he was at in his life than the sister or her provide of a date.

“I feel I initially didn’t wish to admit – and even realized – how a lot of that is the truth that I actually miss having a girl who loves me and who I can love,” he wrote in a single remark. “I feel the truth that it was my ex’s sister actually opened up a chest in my mind that was beforehand below lock and key.”

One Redditor merely declared, “That is fingers down the dumbest put up I’ve learn on her shortly.” By this level, OP had determined what they had been going to do and appeared in a lot lighter spirits, replying, “Properly, at the very least I can declare a milestone.”

On his option to greater than 100 replies to feedback, OP jumped into his authentic put up twice with some Edits/Updates. These had been to handle the largely brutal response he obtained on-line — which he really did not appear to anticipate — in addition to replace how he responded to his ex-wife’s sister.

“I’ve learn by way of your feedback, taking my lashings from some, gotten some bizarre, creepy private messages from others who as one individual put it, understood why I wished to “knock boots” with my ex’s sister,” he wrote, crediting extra the “creepy ‘professional’ messages” than these telling him to not undergo with the date for his closing determination.

OP wrote that Riley “understood and revered” his determination, however did not suppose his ex-wife would have a problem. However, he stood sturdy, telling Reddit he “additionally discovered rather a lot about myself right here.”

Whereas the 100+ feedback confirmed him coming to those realizations in actual time, he summed up, “I miss being a husband. I miss being in a loving marriage. I do not miss my ex spouse, however I miss what we as soon as had and I would like that once more (with another person). I did not know I felt that manner, at the very least consciously, till I spoke to Riley.”

Whereas he has dated since his marriage ended, OP suspects that as a result of they shared no connections to his marriage, “I may nonetheless repress these emotions.” He wrote, “did not notice how lonely I used to be and the way a lot I craved having a girl that I may come dwelling to and never simply obtain love, however give it.”

“Lastly – name me dumb, naive, oblivious, emotionally unintelligent, and many others. – however I am not a foul individual and I by no means meant to destroy anybody’s relationships,” OP concluded his replace. “I additionally was not fascinated with intercourse (pondering with my d–k),” admitting he hadn’t even thought-about a lot of what Redditors introduced up.

“I used to be pondering with a coronary heart that confused scar tissue with being healed. As for Riley, I do not know what her intentions had been, and at this level I do not care,” he continued. “I’m not occurring that date together with her, I’ll speak to an expert about my unresolved love points, and I wish to thank everybody right here for opening up my eyes, even when you had been a jerk – besides the one that mainly accused me of being a p*do – you may f–k off.”
