can you date your brothers ex wife
Replies

You two are not direct blood related (increase chance of genetic abnormalities in offspring).
I do not see why not.
The only argument people here can offer against it is the lame idea of "bro code".
Two individuals have every right to do what is right and best for them.0 -
Negatory!
Dude.... Your brother put his junk in that. No. Just no
We have a winner!!!!
No matter what, you will always know your brother had his slimy penis in the place you wanna put your face (assuming you do that sorta thing).
Nope.....just let it go man.0 -
I don't see it as a necessary no. I think you should be cautious. I think you should think long and hard about how it would be taken by the child. I think you should weigh it up in the light of any remaining relationship you do have with your brother.
I guess I'd also be questioning motivations. Why her, for you, and why you for her? Are there any lurking motivations that are *about* your relationships with your brother that might be fuelling the attraction?
But if you've given it plenty of thought, and still feel it's something you want...I don't see why not. All the 'yuck' reactions seem to me to be linked to very outmoded social taboos.0 -
First of all, the response saying it would be like sleeping with your brother is completely asinine. At least you've probably hugged your brother, I'm sure she's slept with a whole bunch of dudes you wouldn't touch.
Second. I've seen a real life application of this and it worked. Husband cheated on his wife, not a bad woman, just not the BS crazy s*** he was looking for. After they divorced she started talking to his brother, well signing, the poor guy is deaf, and now they are married. Kid was on my son's baseball team that I coached and he was pretty well grounded. I'm no child psychologist and it doesn't mean he won't grow up to b***f*** bunny rabbits, but fwiw he was 7 and seemed to understand. These people are actually close and see each other on a weekly basis and they were able to contain their drama in public.
Personally I wouldn't because my brother and I have a pretty good relationship, but it sounds like your in a different place so don't let conventional wisdom get in the way of trying this thing out. And yes you could be your nephew's Duncle, but marriage is a long way off from a cup of coffee and a screw.0 -
Me thinks beneath the thin veneer of sanity and likeability lies a deep DEEP psychosis in anyone that would say to their child, "he is only your uncle until we are married"
Run away screaming.0 -
If you had to ask the question, I think you already know your answer. Don't look for people on here to validate you, when you already know its wrong.0

Sure Uncle Daddy, You can date her.. Unless you are really close to your brother and then he should kick you in the head.. But on the other had if the douche hasn't seen his son in years you should kick him in the head and go out with her0

The heart wants what it wants, as the great Woody Allen once said. Stranger things have happened. Give it a try - if it works out, then anybody who matters in your life will accept it. If it doesn't, you can just never mention it.0

"This is my uncle... Wait, no, my step-dad... wait, no, my uncle..."
or my uncle who likes to bang my mom... what!?
None of these options is good for the kid! Don't do it!0 -
Nope. Not in this lifetime. Besides, your brother divorced her pretty quick. Must be a reason.
Yeah, he might be the reason!0 -
so not worth it! Just walk away!0
-
You want your brothers sloppy seconds? Out of six billion people in the world, there is no one else?
Really?
'
Surely you can find someone else that makes you laugh.0 -
not the best idea i've heard today...0
-
Initial reaction is no...but stranger things have worked out for people. I guess it depends how close you are to your brother, and whether it would bother him or not.
Maybe you and her are perfect for each other...you never know! Everyone has a past...and yeah, she slept with your brother, but past a certain age, everyone has slept with SOMEONE!0 -

LOL! Your elaboration makes for a double win!
That aside, at face value, it may not seem like a horrid idea but when you bring the kid, the rest of the family, your friends, etc into the picture, it just gets all messy and sounds like major drama watiing to happen. Sorry dude...0 -
How would you explain that to your nephew-eventually son? I have two step-sons and they are my world and they are my sons. If you take on your nephew as a son, it just gets too complicated for the child. I just think long term, this could end badly for your nephew. He will be so messed up on the idea of how relationships work.0
