I live in a small town, this basically happens whenever I go to a social event.

My first wife is suddenly alive and meets my second wife. Awkward.
What might be worse is if someone was there that you didn't know that you had sex with. Like some random person who raped you while you were unconscious after a party in college, or your uncle from your childhood.
Oof, that's true!
That didn't even cross my mind! π
Bunch of dogs and a few cats appear ...... all animals that humped your leg or massaged your thigh.
Why would your first wife meeting your second wife be awkward? Did she expect you to be celebate the rest of your life? Did you run away with your second wife? Or never tell your second wife about your first? Now Iβm curious.
Without going into detail about how their personality types were both wonderful, but clashing, there's the obvious point that my first wife would have to cope that she's been dead for many years and that I moved on. That wouldn't be pleasant. She would probably see me happy with my second wife as happy as I was with her, and think, "what the HELL?" "Well, you died." "Okay," she'd say, and definitely NOT be okay. I might add, "you said I needed to find someone after you're gone," which I think the reality of what that meant in a context in front of her would hit her like an iron fist. We were each other's first, see. My second wife would be gushing towards her, thanking her for everything in an awkward way, because while I was truthful about my previous marriage, I was also really kind. My second wife is also a widow, so she gets it. She credits my wife for "the man I have now," which is true. I am a better person because of my first wife, but I have also changed and "grown" a little since her death. So now, I would be a different person to her. One seasoned by the death of a spouse. That shit changes you.
I think a majority of our discussion would be, "well, what has happened in the world since 2014, then?" and that would be... bad. For all the reasons most people looking outside of this room would know. My first wife would be very upset how things progressed a few years after she died. "Trump? The asshole from The Apprentice?" And so on.
My wives did meet, but didn't know it. My wife was kind of a local celebrity, but my second wife was a vendor IN those circles. I has also met my first wife several times, but only as a character in the background. If that makes sense. We friended because of a local widow's group, which she still runs with a friend. We didn't even start dating until years after both our spouses passed, and only recently remarried. Our friends, many of them mutual since way before, approve of us finding one another.
Wow. Lucky you and your current wife

Me and the wife will probably see if there's something on TV.
Everyone else is someone I had sex with in my life. But it doesn't specify that it is everyone I have had sex with in my life.
I want you to be my lawyer.
You just turned this from an awkward experience into a fun occasion.

rape survivors are going to have a hard time...
If it is the rapist that is asked the question and they have a lot of victims they could gang up on them.

I was actually in this scenario just last night. We watched TV.
...the only person I've had sex with is my wife.
Well, one of them has been dead for 5 years so I'd probably freak the fuck out.
Try 15. There would be some dudes and a pile of bones in the midle. lol
Well, itβs an empty room. So, nothing happens, just like my life. Maybe if there was a way to kill myself, that would happen I guessβ¦

So it's not everyone you've had sex with, it's just that everyone there is part of the group? I choose to believe it's only the ones I'm still friends with.
We all have a nice catch up and then head home?
The door handle rattles but doesn't open.
I would sit in an empty room.
Depending on who it is, I either ask them how they've been, apologize for who I was back then, or turn 360Β° and moonwalk out of there

I'd genuinely like to catch up with them. See how their life turned out, what they've done, and who they're with. Even a few I'd like to apologize to.
I'd order some pizza and booze. We'd have a party.
I'd also take a count, there are people I've unfortunately forgotten about. It will be good to remember them again.
My wife realizes I'm no stud
We all have sex again π€·? Would be the logical thing IMO.
That's too much crazy in one room.
Sounds like a date night for me and my wife :)
Probably bone. Most of the people I've had sex with, sex has been the only thing we've had in common. If it's everyone I've had sex with, it's going to be a little crowded, but I'd imagine we could all have quite a bit of fun.
That's not going to be a very full room
Well, I hope the event is catered, at least.
I enjoy the peace and quiet.
Most likely I'd find wife and then sneak out with her.
None of them would know what the connection is.. at first. That would be some serious cringe as they all realize I am the common denominator. π
We have all either forgotten we had sex, or we politely pretend sex never happened... Kind of like a school reunion really... (Forgotten is most likely.... )
What an amazing room! What an odd collection of people, hi what do you do....
I hope there's name tags! That could get awkward quickly... Maybe some games? I hope it's at a Dave & Buster's.
I apologize to one for just using her for sex, catch up with 3 others, just chat with the one I still talk to on and off.... Genuinely sounds like it could be a pleasant evening. Might bust out a board game or something.
A few of them would wonder why there are women and men in that room, but a few would already know why.
