Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider in a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack home with today's first story. Much love, guys.

And our first story comes from a throwaway account who says I 32 male am in love with my former sister-in-law, 27 female. I'm finally at the point

where I can't stand this anymore. I've been in love with this woman for a very long time. Maybe a

couple of years at this

point, and I'm not sure if I should just kill it or attempt to make something with her.

I met my ex-wife, her sister, when I was 23 years old, and the relationship developed very

quickly, and by 26 I had my son and daughter and had gotten married. However, within months

of being married, my ex-wife had

an affair. But worse than that, the man she cheated with had gotten her into heroin. After confronting

her on this, she said she was going to get help, but instead she left in the night. I haven't heard

from her in four years, and last I've heard, she's still with that guy,

and are homeless in Las Vegas.

Not sure how true that is, but being focused on holding it together for the kids.

I really don't have time to chase her down, nor do I want to after what she pulled.

I ended up getting a divorce in absence.

I did, however, maintain a very positive relationship with my in-laws after the fact.

Every other weekend, my kids stay over with their grandparents on that side,

and they pretty much treat me like a son still.

I still go to parties at Christmas, and I'm reasonably liked by the family.

Nobody talks about my ex anymore,

mainly not to worry my kids. My oldest, my son is very hurt by his mother leaving. He's nine now and I've had to get therapy for him after he told me he hoped his mother was dead. She had been getting

verbally abusive towards the end, which was when he was around 5 or 6.
