Is sleeping with an ex okay when faced with months to live? Shocking request stuns husband!

Here at the Seniors Discount Club, we know how difficult it is to face the inevitable end and how strange our behaviour can be in reaction to such a situation. We often do things we never thought ourselves capable of, sometimes bravely or foolishly, and this week’s story speaks to just that.
An anonymous man recently shared his social media experience, leaving readers stunned. He writes that his wife of ten years, who had been given months to live due to a life-threatening illness, asked if she could have a 'hall pass' to sleep with an ex-partner one last time.
The post reads: ‘My wife has a terminal disease. She is projected to live at most nine months. I am, of course, destroyed. We’ve been together for a decade.’
‘Recently, she sat me down and told me that one of the last things she wanted to do was have sex with a previous partner of hers.’
When asked to explain, his wife said she ‘thinks that her most physically compatible satisfying lover was him’.
He continued: ‘She gave a whole monologue about how sex sometimes is just physical and how emotionally fulfilling sex is with me, but it was b******* to get to that point.’
The post ends with, ‘So now I’m left with this, deny my dying wife a wish for my own ego, or let her go f*** another man who she feels was better.’
The man, understandably, felt betrayed and raw. However, understanding her unique situation, he wondered if he was obligated to put her bucket-list item before his feelings.
This would mean granting her a wish that could emotionally wound him–a generous gesture most of us aren’t sure we’re equipped to make–just to help make her last days more meaningful.
Commenters were understandably torn when reading the heartbreaking story because it seemed plausible. One user expressed sympathy in the comments: ‘This is dumbfounding, and I’m so sorry you have been put in this impossible situation.’
Some asked if her illness was her excuse for treating 'him like s***'; others questioned why she had not reached out to her ex before.
‘This is a lot to unpack. But you don't have to grant this wish, and it was incredibly inappropriate and cruel for her to even ask this. In fact, it's downright disrespectful and...just wrong,’ another comment said.
Another user pointed out, ‘Why should this be your decision? She’s shifting the decision to you to relieve any blame from herself.’
One thing commenters agreed on, however, was that this man was in an impossibly difficult situation, and we wish him only the best.
Members, we know things like this aren’t something you think about regularly, but if you’re faced with the pain of a loved one’s declining health, we wish you strength. Never be ashamed of your feelings, and always turn to a medical professional if you require emotional support.
What do you think of this story, dear members? Should the man grant his wife’s dying wish even if he’s absolutely against it? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
