Siblings wife or spouses sister? Assuming the latter. But both options are welcome for my amusement.
G
Asking the real questions
L
A
Which is worse?
S
Having an affair with your brother’s wife is worse IMO. Can’t explain why, just seems worse to me. Both scenarios are deplorable. Tony Clark is a garbage person.
D
If you bang your wife’s sister, you can get a divorce and not see them at family events. If you bang your brothers wife, well, you can’t get rid of your bother.
I
Your brother gets rid of you.
S
O
Tell that to Cain
B
I don’t think he is Able.
I
Wait, this scenario happened to Matt Cain? /S
L
Lorenzo Cain /s
S
Either way somebody was sleeping with a sibling’s spouse. We just don’t know if it’s Tony or his sister-in-law
G
Yeah but this is from the man’s perspective. The wife’s family/sister would be equally destroyed in the wife’s sister scenario
G
If it’s your wife’s identical twin sister, can you just claim you didn’t know you were cheating?
H
Married to an identical twin. Trust me when I tell you there’s no world where you can mistake one for the other.
C
Can you explain more. I personally can tell identical twins apart just bc like one piece of eyebrow hair is different. Or like they do a certain thing with nose. What was the first think that made you say “they’re not similar at all”
H
I’ll try. Early on when we started dating, it was more difficult. Same stature, hair, and they dress similar. My overall thought is that even if they are identical, you can quickly tell them apart by small differences: a freckle, notch in ear, and just how they carry themselves, if that makes sense? I’ve had a couple of mistakes where I hit what I thought was my wife’s ass, but it’s usually after a few beers. Overall point is that if you’re with someone long enough – especially at the marriage level – it’s unmistakable who is who.
M
great informative comment but that last part is wild
P
Eskimo brothers with your actual brother is icky
F
Or simply put, this one ruins someone else’s marriage too, not just your own.
J
Either way you’re cheating on your wife. If it’s with your brother’s wife, you’ve also fucked up their family.
L
That’s blood you’re betraying with that move
R
You are betraying your wife either way so def worse to also add in your brother.
U
Yeah, because with the brother, you’re destroying your ties to both sides of the family. With the wife’s sister, it’s only one, potentially.
J
Well either way if you’re the one getting cheated on, you can divorce your cheating spouse, but you’re still stuck with your cheating sibling
F
You’re united in true Eskimo brotherhood
M
If you cheat with you wife’s sister, you are wronging your wife. If you cheat with your brother’s wife, you are wronging your wife AND your brother.
F
I’d think brother’s wife is worse but both things you don’t want to do
J
You haven’t seen my wife’s sister
A
If she looks like your wife, we’ve seen plenty.
H
Nah bro we all have
Y
Your brother’s Wife You ruin your marriage and your relationship with your brother plus potentially more. With your wife’s sister you just ruin your marriage
A
But then you ruin your wife’s relationship with her sister
O
The sister is still accountable for that part.
A
I guess it’s a question of is it worse for you personally, or is it a worse situation that has been created. Either scenario involves the same thing, a person banging their sibling’s spouse. It’s just a question of whether you’re the spouse or sibling. I think it’s worse for you personally to be the sibling, but in terms of like, the evil you put into the world, i think it’s identical.
K
brothers wife. double homicide
M
Both are deplorable but brother’s wife has much worse consequences for your own extended family. Spouses’s sister scenario transfers those consequences to your spouse’s family.
H
Siblings wife 100% Just fucked up your family relationships too
S
Sibling’s wife, obviously. That’s 2 marriages that you’re ruining. The wife’s sister would at best be just 1 marriage.
J
Spouse’s sister is definitely worse. A child from that relationship would be your kids’ sibling AND cousin, by blood. Sibling’s wife having your kid would just be half-siblings with your own kids. Again, still cheating and awful to do; but somehow less ick.

This reply was only a matter of time. Such a scumbag.
T
Not his fault she kept getting stuck in the pitching machine while wearing those Mrs Met pants…
B
 \-Tony Clark, probably
A
I
Either way, Christmas is ruined
G
Yeah, why do I feel I need to know this? First thing I thought of upon reading it.
T
His brother’s wife, Jill Zgrzemski Clark, doesn’t appear to work for the MLBPA. So it must be the wife’s sister.
