Not gonna mention names but this true, There is a woman who is left by her husband for another woman. Her husband's mistress is also a married woman. After the divorce she met the her husband's mistress' ex-husband and they started dating. her ex husband and his Mistress got married, Then few years later, she and her husband's mistress' ex-husband gets married too. Its really weird and ironic but it did happen. It didn't make the news since private people are involved, They know me and for sure they will kill me if they realized i am talking about them on the internet.

What a weird love story, they should have known each other so that they won't get to divorce process. Maybe it's their destiny! That love story only happened in movies but this one is real life. I don't know what to say, if this is amazing or shocking, I think both! Wish that they will last forever and never separate again.

I get it, the original kids got half siblings and step siblings. Sounds like they are putting up a family tie together. Poor kids.

Both couples ironically in Good terms now, The family situation is weird 2.
Couple 1 have kids together, Couple 2 also have a kid together, Then the switcheroo happened. Couple 1.2 also have kids together and couple 2.2 also have a kid together. Its hard for me to explain how things go but thats the way it is. Very confusing.

You are a bit "old style" Albert . The only forbidden marriage in my country is a marriage between in-laws : you need an authorization of the President to do that. If you don't swap two brothers or two sisters, you can swap an re-marry lovers or mistresses like you want. First case can be a matter of scandal, the others are just a matter of fun for the neighborhood.

You are speaking of "switched" married partners, and the only forbidden switch is between in-laws. Summing up, you can marry your mistress, after your divorce, if she is not the sister of your ex-wife. If they can't marry they can't swap : it is not authorized to marry your dog pet in my country, like in another of your discussions , and marriage between near parents is also illegal : incest was only good for Egyptian pharaohs, for the rest of the world it is a taboo.

LOL, I was freaked out by the term "all marriages" because of the word all...My bad...my bad... If I will get married, its going to be only 1 woman and only her, getting widowed or divorced is not an option for me, so I have to be careful on whom to marry.

Did you mean siblings, cousins, humans and animals can marry there?
Sorry if I was freaked out.

I don't actually know anyone who has gone through this nor do I know of anyone personally. I know that it can happen but I've only heard of it from watching a show or reading a manga or something (I was reminded of Marmalade Boy when I read this discussion). It does sound a bit strange but it can happen. But I'll bet that the encounters between these two couples can be a bit weird given their situation.

marmalade is only a boyfriend/girlfriend switcheroo right? I just found out Shania Twain the singer also have the same situation. She also experienced a Husband swap with her husband's mistress. I dont know if this is a plot for revenge or Just unintentional coincidence.

This is those wierd stories that would make a great television show. I met this lady at church who was living with the babysitter that used to watch her kids. Well the babysitter got pregnant by her exhusband and they had a baby. She became friends with her. I thought it was so wierd because if anyone had slept with my husband while we were married, then had their baby it would be hard for me to offer her any help. They would watch each others kids and when he visited the kids they were all together.

Awkward,Awkward...That makes me speechless as well. Its really a very hard situation on her part. She is a very forgiving person. I'm sure usually women are enemies with women who had affair with their husbands. IS she still with her husband?

That is a strange twist of fate indeed! I don't know anyone personally who has gone through a similar incident but I have heard of stories from people I know. The most recent story I heard about was a woman who left her soldier husband for his bestfriend while her husband was stationed in Iraq. What makes it shocking is that she broke the news to her husband over the phone. It's a really heartbreaking story because they have a son together and when he came home for leave, it was to an empty house. She had packed all of her things and taken their son to her mothers. I don't know these two personally and there are always two sides to a story but it seems coldhearted. Nevertheless, the marriage ended in a nasty divorce and the ex-husband is now dating the ex-wifes friend.

wow that is just a painful betrayal, his life is in danger in Iraq doing is duty as a soldier, then there is his wife not being worried, having fun with her lover. that sucks for sure :( I do hope he can move on and find a woman who will love him and worthy of his trust.

Oh my, this sounds like a mixed up mess. I wonder how this all came about...surely it took just one person to mess up all four of these lives. Probably a look, a smile, a wink, etc...Hope there are not any kids involved. Can you imagine?

They exchanged each other's sloppy seconds. They actually have kids, So just imagine a very awkward family reunion they will have, Its so weird to think to see a literal wife swap.

Hello Captain,
There's nothing weird about that, it's something that people find love on some one elses. actually, such story almost happen in the MMK stories in the past. I consider it the natural process of life. IT could have been more complicated if there's children involved or they have children in the previous marriages.
SOmething that only reality happens. trouble is that true fantasy love is being portrayed in the movies. so, people like you gets to have weird feeling having this thing.
Love is for every one. it takes one relationship to the other to find out in the end and realize what true love is.

I can imagine how the 2 people who were betrayed by their spouses relates with each other since they had go through the same pain. The 2 couples are in good terms now. Its had to explain why they were forgiving but they were at least happy I think. I know situations like this were usually in fiction. I just found out that something interesting. Shaniah Twain the singer, she went through the same thing:

Hi there, CaptAlbertWhisker
This is not a normal situation but this is also not impossible. This may happened to a couple living in a country where you can easily divorced each other if you two decided to end your marriage.
We are living in a very small world and who knows who will we meet? But, in this case, it wasn't coincidental. Perhaps, it is an intertwined kind of fate. The ex husband meeting the wife of man A ,and since Ex and boy A's wife has connection to their exes, it is not difficult that their exes ended up marrying each other, too.
I couldn't stomach it if this will happen to me. I'd rather not remarry again, than marrying the ex love of the person who ruined my marriage...

I guess the 2 people who were betrayed relates to each other, both of them are left by the people that they love. They were both in pain because of the situation and that triggers them to develop a bond or friendship that leads to something romantic. They met as two people who were lonely, angry and despaired. I think it is also their way to make revenge and they fulfilled with, Its hard for me to explain the situation of their kids, since there are 3 sets of kids born out of them.

For me this is not news because if in a couple it does not exist love then its a waste of their time if they stay together any more.Because we have just a life and we should enjoy to maximum our life not to spent it in sadness .My opinion is that it does not matter if they switched because the fate is not known by us is keeping changing at any of our action.

Well it took years when the second marriage happens, the betrayed husband and wife became friends because they can relate with each other for they were both betrayed but their former spouses. They developed a bond that turns into love. Both couples were married for 10 years,
