My grandmother was married my late grandfather's younger brother for the last decade of her life.

Interesting! How did that go over, out of curiosity?

Very well, considering both were widowed and over 70 and he had no children. It's gotten a little odd now that Grandma is dead and those of us who got to thinking of my great uncle as a step-father or step-grandfather are not legally his next of kin (that was already established to be relatives of his first wife prior to him marrying my grandfather), but there's no conflicts or anything (nothing in the way of an estate and he's pretty clear about what he wants) just awkwardly explaining to people that even though we might visit/call/write all the time, we're not the ones who make decisions.

That's actually kind of awesome then, I'm glad they were able to find happiness with each other and it didn't cause drama. :)

The case I read about in the paper was really different - both young/middle aged, the guy and his ex were divorced and it was the ex's sister he was dating (not sure about her past marital status), there were (not adult, I don't think) kids involved, and it made not only the writer but at least one other family member extremely uncomfortable. :/

I can't really blame them either. I think in that case it's a fairly insensitive thing to do...not much the writer could do about it though.
