She still has a loving spot for him. But, you can love more than one person at a time. People are complicated.
I completely understand where you're coming from, but I am very warped in my mindset. If she was happily married and financially taken care of (which we assume she would've been since they had a nice home and he was a successful writer) I see it as a betrayal.

If he is deceased, and perhaps a couple of years go by, would it still be betrayal if she would be married again years later?

I know I don't see this the way "normal" people do. But if someone has given you great love, a family, security and everything else possible-I don't think I could betray the memory of my deceased love by remarrying.

It's okay Sweetheart. Every person is entitled to an opinion, I just want to make sure I understand yours clearly. I do understand what you are saying. If they were really in love, I agree it would be hard to remarry.

Morgan, that is an interesting view. Part of the marriage vows we take are 'until death do us part'. Do you believe we are reunited with our husband or wife after we die? (not to pick apart, but to clearly understand)
I really don't know, but certainly wish I did. I always wondered about this though. People who've been happily married more than once on this earth because of death taking a spouse-if we are reunited in the afterlife, which spouse would you be tied to or obligated to? Or would everyone love each other equally and these thoughts would never occur?

Yep-I'm living this every day. It hits me at the strangest times-usually throwing me completely off balance.
(((Morgan))) I think we each have to go individually into the great beyond. Family, parents, children, critters, close friends may be on the other shore, but I don't think we have the same societal or spousal relations. I always imagined it would be one big happy party. We are all with each other and no one is 'owned' or 'assigned' to each other. Just think, wouldn't it be cool to go have a cup of coffee with God or how about anyone else who has died?
