"I ended up breaking up with my husband and got together with his brother."

I'm a Senior Staff Writer who writes a wide range of topics, spanning from people's real-life drama to pop culture to funny things I find on the internet.

"We never saw or spoke to each other again until five years later, when I was meeting my boyfriend’s mom and stepdad. And who is my boyfriend’s stepdad? You guessed it, Paris man. We have only talked about it once, my stepfather-in-law and I, to acknowledge how awkward it was, and we agreed to never speak of it again, as we were both single at the time. Two years after our fling, he met and married my husband’s mother, and all it would do now is hurt people we love. We have literally never talked about it again, and no one in the family knows. After meeting him again, I stopped wearing the necklace. Maybe when my daughter graduates college, more than ten years from now, I will give it to her as a gift." 

"I saw her numerous times after that, and neither of us acted strangely. We just erased it and acted like nothing ever happened. At the time, I was about 30 and my mother-in-law was about 50. I’ve never told anyone until now."

"Fast-forward to last year, I found out my ex-SIL (I'm long divorced by this point) and ex-wife's brother separated because ex-BIL started cheating on her. I unblocked her and reached out. I've been down this road and know how to handle the family in court, so I figure I'd lend assistance. I met up with my ex-SIL, helped her do some errands (ex-BIL left nothing for her, not even a car), then headed back and hung out. We started drinking, certain things came out about one another, and next thing I know, we're in the bedroom going at it. We met up a few times until about a month ago. She found a guy that she wants to date so I stopped becoming her Plan B. No one has found out, and I'm pretty sure it'd be a mess if anyone did."

"Of course, they get caught after a while. Mid-act, the son and ex-wife show up. It actually provided a great out for the gay son, as he could divorce her, be the wronged party, and now be single with no questions about his sexuality. My great-aunt suffered some social ostracism for this, as it was juicy gossip for the city they lived in. However, when the divorce came, she married her former father-in-law. They remained married until his death in the mid '90s (both his age and the year), after nearly 50 years together and three kids (plus grandkids). They were quite happy, but this story has always been one my mom kept from me until I was 30."

"So I was in my first year of university, and he found out that my sister had been cheating on him, not only that, she'd done it with several people he knew, and he was not surprisingly angry. My parents, being idiots, decided to hire a lawyer who made things worse, and then the issue over what was happening with the money came up. So I came home from university, and my family was about to be put out of their home. Also, I should mention he'd paid for some of my university expenses. I'm making this way too complicated, but essentially, I ended up having sex with him in return for him calming down, and letting my sister and family climb out of the financial hole they were in. The sex was pretty weird, and he enjoyed doing me in my sister's bed way more than he should have, in the end though he got out of my family's life and that was the end of it."
