I’m starting to think that having three sets of grandparents isn’t so weird after all.

I used to tell people that my kids didn't have a family tree but rather a family forest.
All three have different fathers and therefore share one set of grandparents in common. All my kids have half brothers, or sisters, or both. Some of them my kids have never met in person.
Back in the day we had my Mark (my oldest's paternal bio uncle), our Mark (brother) and your Mark (sister's husband)...and that's how we kept them straight in conversation.

I'm nine years older than my wife, works for us (35 years in December)
One weird thing, we had to wait for her divorce to get finalised before we could marry... didn't realise until years later that they spelled her name wrong on the original paperwork and she was never legally married in the first place!

I'm twice the age of my girlfriend.
I live with my ex-wife.
I'm married to a sex doll which my ex-wife bought for me.
My ex-wife, her boyfriend, and my girlfriend, and my child all attended the sexdoll wedding, and we all get on well together.

My husband proposed by asking if I would marry him if he paid for my divorce.

That's true romance!

I think we have a winner.

Nah. I'm quite normal really. Plenty of people far odder than me. It's just a weird way things worked out.
I could make it sound even weirder if I added in that I also married two tulpa and several cushions, and did so partly cross-dressed (I'm also a transvestite). Oh, and the wedding ceremony invoked various pagan dieties, and took place in a dungeons and dragons shop. There's other stuff I could add, but that'll do ... lol 😀

The ‘winner’ I was referring to is your situation, not you.
