Is this weird? (relationships)

No different to your friends ex-partners fancying you.

You'll most likely have similar interests and similar personalities - something they found attractive in the first place.

Family might be annoyed but there are worse things that could happen.
 
I'm not sure on this one.

As much as I want to say: 'they're happy, so what'. I just find it a little bit strange. I mean it is is dead ex wife's sister. But, the points on which I find this strange are subjective and nothing to do with them (kinda contradicting myself here but it's valid).

If they are both totally comfortable with this then so be it I guess.


Equally I can understand an adverse reaction from the family as for an outsider it is easier to judge and find it odd.


I say at the end of the day: good for them, I hope they will be happy together.

compared to my family that's fine :p

My bro married a girl, her parents split up, and now my mum is married to my brother's wife's dad, so I have a step father-in law, and my own mum is technically my brother's mother in law and step mother.

and their kids, are their own cousins :p Jeremy Kyle's head would explode :D

Bloody hell. LOL :D

OP, strangely for GD nobody has asked yet so allow me to be the first. The wife's sister is over 16, right? :o:p If so, I see no issues with this either, sounds like your family are over-reacting somewhat. But maybe there's more to the story. Who knows? Families - don't ya just love 'em? :D
 
I'm part of the older generation [62] don't see anything strange in it at all. He loved and married a woman, lost her two years back in a tragic accident and now grown to love, or at least form a relationship with the sister. I wish both of them the best of luck and all the happiness in the world. :)
 
On the face of it it looks slightly unusual but to be honest it's pretty natural. If they look anything alike and they act anything alike then he's going to have a natural attraction to her after having been married to her sister. He's not doing anything wrong and as long as they are both happy together then all is well.
 
Well, you've all confirmed my suspicison that most of my family are just odd - I appear to be the only (fairly) normal one!

Anyway, I've told him I fully support his new relationship regardless of our parents and our crazy sister.

And yes, she is over 16 and (as far as I know) has no strange/weird history that they would be uncomfortable with.

From what I can tell, it's purely to do with the fact she was his sister-in-law.

Anyway, thanks all for your input :)
 
Although I dont agree with what they think, as it wouldnt really bother me I can see why the frustration. He was married to this womans sister, they didnt divorce or terminate the relationship; I can see how it would upset some people. If you died would you want your wife having a relationship with your own brother ? Most peoples answer to this deep down inside would be simply no. As someone pointed out in a previous post it more then likely wont last anyways, during this traumatic time they have obviously grown dependent on each other to help bettle through the grief. All the emotions flying around its not such a shock that it may happen. Personally if my girlfriend died, I would not in a million years touch her sister ( as beautiful as she is ). Know this may get a bad reaction but meh :)

But my sister has some weird rage going on about how she is the worst person he could possibly be dating.

Hmmm maybe she was looking to make a move on him? :D

Edit: apologies for poor taste joke! I don't see a problem with the OP scenario, in fact I doubt it's that uncommon in these kinds of situations involving bereavement.
 
:confused: Seems fine and makes quite a lot of sense as I bet they were both there for each other, helped the other cope with the grief, especially if the two sisters were close and have thus grown close to each other and continue to support each other.

Ask your family to stop and think, it's really not what your brother needs, maybe he is finally happy again and that's super.
 
As long as he's not with her because she reminds him of the dead girlfriend it's fine. If he's trying to replace her then it'll end badly.
