I live in a small town, this basically happens whenever I go to a social event.

It's called an aquarium, and this is the last time I'm going to ask you to leave this facility.

My first wife is suddenly alive and meets my second wife. Awkward.

What might be worse is if someone was there that you didn't know that you had sex with. Like some random person who raped you while you were unconscious after a party in college, or your uncle from your childhood.

Oof, that's true!
That didn't even cross my mind! πŸ˜…

Bunch of dogs and a few cats appear ...... all animals that humped your leg or massaged your thigh.

Why would your first wife meeting your second wife be awkward? Did she expect you to be celebate the rest of your life? Did you run away with your second wife? Or never tell your second wife about your first? Now I’m curious.

Without going into detail about how their personality types were both wonderful, but clashing, there's the obvious point that my first wife would have to cope that she's been dead for many years and that I moved on. That wouldn't be pleasant. She would probably see me happy with my second wife as happy as I was with her, and think, "what the HELL?" "Well, you died." "Okay," she'd say, and definitely NOT be okay. I might add, "you said I needed to find someone after you're gone," which I think the reality of what that meant in a context in front of her would hit her like an iron fist. We were each other's first, see. My second wife would be gushing towards her, thanking her for everything in an awkward way, because while I was truthful about my previous marriage, I was also really kind. My second wife is also a widow, so she gets it. She credits my wife for "the man I have now," which is true. I am a better person because of my first wife, but I have also changed and "grown" a little since her death. So now, I would be a different person to her. One seasoned by the death of a spouse. That shit changes you.

I think a majority of our discussion would be, "well, what has happened in the world since 2014, then?" and that would be... bad. For all the reasons most people looking outside of this room would know. My first wife would be very upset how things progressed a few years after she died. "Trump? The asshole from The Apprentice?" And so on.

My wives did meet, but didn't know it. My wife was kind of a local celebrity, but my second wife was a vendor IN those circles. I has also met my first wife several times, but only as a character in the background. If that makes sense. We friended because of a local widow's group, which she still runs with a friend. We didn't even start dating until years after both our spouses passed, and only recently remarried. Our friends, many of them mutual since way before, approve of us finding one another.

Ok so it's a normal night with my wife then?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago

Me and the wife will probably see if there's something on TV.

Everyone else is someone I had sex with in my life. But it doesn't specify that it is everyone I have had sex with in my life.

I want you to be my lawyer.

You just turned this from an awkward experience into a fun occasion.

I have some alone time with my wife.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Same it happens to me every night

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

I was actually in this scenario just last night. We watched TV.

...the only person I've had sex with is my wife.

rape survivors are going to have a hard time...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

If it is the rapist that is asked the question and they have a lot of victims they could gang up on them.

Well, one of them has been dead for 5 years so I'd probably freak the fuck out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Try 15. There would be some dudes and a pile of bones in the midle. lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, it’s an empty room. So, nothing happens, just like my life. Maybe if there was a way to kill myself, that would happen I guess…

So it's not everyone you've had sex with, it's just that everyone there is part of the group? I choose to believe it's only the ones I'm still friends with.

We all have a nice catch up and then head home?

Depending on who it is, I either ask them how they've been, apologize for who I was back then, or turn 360Β° and moonwalk out of there

My wife realizes I'm no stud

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd genuinely like to catch up with them. See how their life turned out, what they've done, and who they're with. Even a few I'd like to apologize to.

I'd order some pizza and booze. We'd have a party.

I'd also take a count, there are people I've unfortunately forgotten about. It will be good to remember them again.

We all have sex again 🀷? Would be the logical thing IMO.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably bone. Most of the people I've had sex with, sex has been the only thing we've had in common. If it's everyone I've had sex with, it's going to be a little crowded, but I'd imagine we could all have quite a bit of fun.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Going for the orgy, bold move but could be epic if it pays off.

That's too much crazy in one room.

That's not going to be a very full room

Sounds like a date night for me and my wife :)
