Sometimes, the people you least expect can suddenly become your neighbors.

The following story is about a woman who discovered that her sister’s ex-husband had moved directly across the street from her.

He lives with the woman he cheated her sister with, so she suddenly became uncomfortable.

She frequently used the same pool, gym, and walking routes near his new home, so she’s afraid they might run into each other.

With her sister regularly visiting her, she’s unsure how to deal with the situation moving forward.

Yikes! That sounds really awkward. Let’s take a closer look!

WIBTAH for confronting my ex-BIL who cheated on my sister, since he moved in directly across from me?

I (29F) own my condo with my husband (29M), and we bought it a year ago.

Today, I saw my sister’s ex-husband (28M) moving into the condo directly across the street from me.

He was with the woman he cheated on my sister with and their three-month-old baby.

I am 1,000% certain of this, and I know they’re renting it.

This woman often passes by his ex-BIL’s condo unit.

He doesn’t know I live here.

Our condo community is maybe 50 units total, but there’s a pool and gym that I use daily.

When I leave for work, I pass his condo. When I go on walks, I pass his condo.

I probably pass right by it 5 or 6 times a day.

When he cheated on her sister, she welcomed her into her home.

Not only did he cheat on my sister with this woman, but he texted my sister.

He was initiating the divorce while she was at work and he knew she was working.

In less than two hours, he took their apartment and their dog.

And she moved in with me since he made it clear the apartment would be his.

He told her he “found God, and God told him they shouldn’t be together anymore.”

He told other people some extremely hurtful things about divorcing her due to weight gain, which she heard him say on video.

He never admitted to having an affair.

To this day, he’s never admitted to cheating on her.

But he had moved this woman into his apartment he kicked my sister out of less than 4 weeks after.

This is also something I am 1,000% sure of.

They were married less than 6 months after that.

Now, her sister has become uncomfortable going to their neighborhood.

The thing is, my sister and I are very close, and she comes to the pool with me on a weekly basis.

Now, she’s afraid of coming into my neighborhood. My ex-BIL doesn’t know my husband and I live here.

And it’ll be a matter of time before we run into each other at the gym, pool, or on a walk.

I believe his new wife knows he was previously married, but I don’t think she knows any of the harsh details.

She’s unsure whether to tell her ex-BIL’s new wife that she was the other woman.

If you were his new wife, would you want to know you were the other woman?

She’s postpartum, and I feel very bad for her.  I am in no way trying to cause her anguish.

But I want him to know to stay far away from my family, my sisters, and me.

WIBTAH if I ran into him and told him to keep his distance?

This honestly sounds like an incredibly awkward situation to be in.

I think setting a firm boundary with the ex-husband makes sense.

But involving his new wife could create a much bigger situation, particularly with a new baby involved.

She can protect her family without necessarily becoming responsible for exposing every detail of his past.
