"For some godforsaken reason, my twin sister has decided that some 50-year-old sad sack, less than a year into his divorce, is her new soulmate. His oldest child is less than seven years apart from us in age. He left his wife of 25 years because he was "afraid of not living." He just is begging fate to be 20 again."
"My sister's boyfriend brags about being able to do all these activities, but he can't. We are left with a whining man-baby who can't bother to pack sunscreen or extra water, and our entire trip draws to a screeching halt while my sister plays nurse. It is so cringe that most of my friends don't want to see my sister anymore."
"Apparently, his friends treated her as an idiot and an infant, while his kids directly told her fuck off. I just started to laugh. It was the worst type of cliché. Did she really, in her heart of hearts, expect to get a warm welcome from them? She still hasn't warmed up to our stepmother despite our dad getting remarried several years after the divorce (and they're the same age, at least)."
A twin sister began dating a 50-year-old man less than a year into his divorce, whose oldest child is within seven years of the twins' age. He left a 25-year marriage claiming he was "afraid of not living" and now behaves like a man-child. He cannot actually perform the outdoor activities their friend group values, causing trips to halt while the sister cares for him. Friends have distanced themselves because the couple refuses to stop activities they cannot complete and then complain. Attempts to bond with his friends and children failed, and the sister blocked the writer after being confronted.
