His Wife Sadly Passed Away 6 Months Ago, And He Ended Up Sleeping With Her Younger Sister On New Year’s Eve

A 35-year-old man’s 34-year-old wife sadly passed away 6 months ago, leaving him a widowed single dad.
He’s currently raising their 3-year-old and 5-year-old daughters alone, and he’s been trying his best to work through his grief along with his children.
For the holidays, he always stayed with his wife’s family from Christmas through New Year’s Day, and this year he didn’t want it to be any different for his girls.
2022 was horrific to him and his girls, and he thought having the routine of being with his wife’s family for the holidays would be good for all of them.
So, on Christmas Eve, he and his girls went to spend time with his in-laws, and his wife’s younger sisters were there too since his in-laws have a big enough house for them all to comfortably stay there together.
His wife’s sisters are 34 (J) and 30-years-old (K), and they were the only other ones in the house, along with his in-laws and girls, as J just got divorced, but K is single.
It was good for them all to be together and console one another as they got through the holidays. His mother-in-law especially did her best to occupy them all with little activities, which really did work to make them feel better.
His girls ended up being really invested in spending time with their grandma and grandpa, and he ended up spending most of his time with J and K.
It was pretty normal, save for the fact that he and J no longer had significant others.

“Flash forward to New Year’s and my in-laws suggested that they watch the kids, and my sisters-in-laws take me out for NYE in the city,” he explained.
“They live in the middle of nowhere so we booked two hotel rooms. One for me and one for my two SILs to share. We did standard dinner and drinks before transitioning to a party.”
“It was fun to get out, but I was really missing my wife’s absence. I didn’t really admit it to myself, but I was insanely lonely. I think J was feeling something similar after her divorce. We spent most of the party with each other. K went off into the crowd, and we didn’t see her for the rest of the night.”
“J and I drank and danced. We talked and reminisced. She has a few similarities between my wife. Some facial features, but very similar laughs. I think the laugh is what got me. One thing led to another and we were making out on the dance floor. I wish from the bottom of my heart it ended there. I think loneliness and 6 months of not addressing any…need got the better of me.”
Well, he ended up sleeping with J a few times before falling asleep on New Year’s Eve. The very next morning, things were understandably uncomfortable between the two of them, but they managed to both be grown up about it.
He and J made their way back to his in-laws’ home. He picked his girls up and headed back to their house.
And honestly, right now, he feels remorse for what happened with J. He’s sorry the whole thing happened. He’s sorry he enjoyed himself.
He’s sorry that this could potentially ruin the family his girls have left. He’s sorry he feels as if he really did betray his wife.
“So this isn’t exactly something I want to share with friends. Random internet strangers, what would you do?” he wondered.
“I’m in a bad headspace now, but my best guess is to call her in the morning and say it was a mistake and it can’t happen again.”
“Therapist is on vacation, so my sounding board is absent. Great start to 2023 after a horrible 2022, guess it only gets better from here.”
