Colleen said no to the ring, but couldn't say no to the children.

"I know we have her blessing," says Colleen DeVita, now wearing the ring that was once her sister's.

So, she said no, but then took it after she died? What a heartless biatch!

Petit_Merdeux: What a heartless biatch typical woman!

/flame on

Whatever blows her skirt up.

Meh. Show me the wife who lets her husband do it while she's alive.


/and both together
//and their mom too
///I'll be in my bunk

Wow, poor guy got a pretty severe downgrade, at least going by the picture in TFA.

Bonk, OK, Pork, OK, but Bork?

That article reads like a pitch for a Lifetime movie fo the week.

I couldn't get past the part describing the mansion.

That's creepy and weird.

Fjornir: F*ck cancer.

Cancer of the f*ck?

She looks kinda old for her age. 45?

Seems to me that the focus here was on the kids. Kudos to mom, dad, and sister for that.

*The bible nods approvingly*

My wife would never do something this evil to me.

Her sister?

~Shuddering ugh~

I can't believe they're even related.

/I suspect the sister is the milkman's kid

time now for the news

It's all for the kids.

(who were promptly sent to the woods with only a basket of food and the clothes on their backs right after the marriage)

Irish twins? Is that when one them gets drunk and the other can feel it?

EyeBallStu: Irish twins? Is that when one them gets drunk and the other can feel it?

Siblings born only about a year apart. The Irish were mostly Catholic, Catholics aren't supposed to use contraceptives, and the Irish like to get drunk and get down, so as soon as they pop out one kid the momma's knocked up with another one. My older brother and I are Irish twins, and his two sons are even closer in age.

Um.... your wife is the milkman's kid sir.

Well, nice story and all but I can't feel that it's a bit wrong to throw all that kind of responsibility on a sibling. If they offer to do it, sure. But she probably has her own life she wants to live too, though perhaps she is happy with this setup now.

I can't help but feel***

tl;dr.

Well, I read a little, but I'm diabetic and my sugar level was spiking.

Is this gonna be some sorta Lifetime Movie of the Week? If so, I will kill my TV.

Going off the details in the article, it doesn't sound like it. Seems like she's always lived in her sister's shadow and been happy to do so.

I'm guessing that Colleen is a lesbian who is in denial and is repressing her sexuality due to her religious beliefs. She probably married him due to her parents pressure for her to settle down, convenience, her sisters wishes, love of the children, and mistaking a bond she shared by proxy with the husband.

TsarTom: Wow. What a sad story.

Anyway, just happened to have this lying around.

Came here for that. Leaving satisfied.

The happy couple of couples (Venn couples?):

Sheesh! That's gotta be hard on the ol' uterus.

Mister Peejay: justoneznot: Well, nice story and all but I can't feel that it's a bit wrong to throw all that kind of responsibility on a sibling.

And if you're male and disagree with it, someone's going to write down an account of how you refused to get your brother's widow pregnant, and a couple thousand years later, people will think that it means masturbation is a sin.

Don't worry, though, your dad will take care of it for you, when he thinks your brothers' (yes, plural) widow is a prostitute and gives her his signet ring to hold in lieu of cash for his trick....

If the sisters were ex-navy it could be just another wave in the gene pool.

Wife: When I die, will you marry again?
Husband: Well, yes, I probably will.
Wife: (with quiver in voice) And will you live in this house?
Husband: Well, yes, it's paid for.
Wife: (voice rising) And will she sleep in our bed?
Husband: I don't see why not.
Wife: (sobbing) And will she use my golf clubs?
Husband: No, she's left handed.

Crudbucket: That's creepy and weird.

And an incredibly selfish thing for the dead sister to ask,

That article was written solely for women. By a woman. I had to stop reading when they went into how they shopped differently. Holy fark. Oh, and up to that point, no mention of what the guy thinks.

"Now when I fark [the sister] it's OK."

EyeBallStu: Irish twins? Is that when one them gets drunk and the other can feel it?

No, that's one when one gets into a jam and the other blames all their problems on the English.

Bork? She assassinated his character?

DanInKansas: EyeBallStu: Irish twins? Is that when one them gets drunk and the other can feel it?

No, that's one when one gets into a jam and the other blames all their problems on the English.

No, it's when both kids can only count to potato.

Anyone else think the husband was doing the sister on the side with the wife's approval.

My wife doesn't have a sister. But she does have a brother. I hope she doesn't suggest I go gay if she dies early.

Maturin: Wife: When I die, will you marry again?

Wife: When I die, will you marry again?
Husband: Well, no, I probably won't.
Wife: (with quiver in voice) Why don't you marry my sister?
Husband: That would be a bit creepy..
Wife: (voice rising) And what exactly is wrong with my sister? She's more like me than any other woman. Is my sister not good enough for you, now? Was I never good enough?
Husband: Well I guess she's alright, but...
Wife: (sobbing) I knew it! I knew it all along! All this time you've been lusting after my sister, haven't you, you bastard?

Its kind of taking control over the husband after death. Sounded more like watching over her kids and keeping an eye on the husband (keep her kids away from someone she didn't know). Sad story. Don't blame the woman with cancer really for the worry. Death is heavy stuff.

Sounds like the plot from Aki-Sora.

/But with less boinking.

Olympus Mons: Its kind of taking control over the husband after death. Sounded more like watching over her kids and keeping an eye on the husband (keep her kids away from someone she didn't know). Sad story. Don't blame the woman with cancer really for the worry. Death is heavy stuff.

Yeah, but still...my dying wish is that no one ever has a chance to move on from my passing, and that the grim reminder of my passing hangs over you for the rest of your days.

I'll bet this will become infuriating for the sister.

Husband: "Make me a sammich, will ya?"
Sister: "Make it yourself!"
Husband: "Your sister used to do it for me"
Sister: "Ugh, fine!"

Husband: "Let's do anal"
Sister: "Eww no! That's gross"
Husband: "Your sister used--"
Sister: "Yeah yeah whatever. Just stop saying that"

There was an episode of This American Life about how a dying woman spent her last months writing letters to her 8-year old daughter, with one for each birthday until she was 21, and then for other occasions... The letter about getting her period was very warm and loving, the letter about dating and boys was inappropriate and cruel.

the letters start out as a comforting memento of a traumatic loss, but as the daughter gets older and starts to get her own personality, the constant, unyielding voice of her mother from the grave haunts her. They had become so out-of-step with the girl's life - invectives to only date boys of her faith, letters that congratulated her on remaining a virgin, and mentions of a set of hobbies discarded and friends lost or left.

It's implied that the father 'loses' the two letters for her on her engagement and wedding day.

Death is death. People need to move on. If you can't move on you get stuck, and powerless to change your life in way that it needs to change in order to be fulfilling. Trying to impose your will beyond the grave is a deep sign of manipulation and distrust.

That headline sounds like necrophilia.
