I think some people have so little joy in life it's better to believe in a lie than to have to deal with the truth. Witness the whole dying process. Some are in denial right up until the end. Are they better for it? Maybe, maybe not.

Or what about the family who doesn't tell them they are dying and wants to keep their spirits up? They are leading them on. Is that wrong too?

BTW, I do not believe it's ok to cheat with someone else's husband and that is not the topic of the thread, so no need to get defensive.
You are telling these tales about her life, when you don't really know. The guy died. You don't know, if she attended. You don't know what, if anything was going on with them. All you see is an unattractive woman dating a married man.

I understand your question, but you are posing toward this woman. Are you leading anyone on?

I know I have and am not.(not sure, if I am) I allow a guy to buy me coffee. I know he likes me. I've made it plain nothing will happen. He continue to buy coffee. We have coffee once a month.

btw: attractive women date married guys too. Just so you know.
I don't understand where this hostility is coming from. I asked a simple and straightforward question. A simple yes or no will suffice, not some sarcastic remark or assumption as to what I think I am. I think I am in tune with society's definition of beauty enough to know what is considered beautiful (after all, I've only been bombarded with images of it for decades).

And I don't care whether someone is beautiful or not. I don't think it's ever ok to date a married guy or even someone who has a GF/BF.

And do NOT put words in my mouth.

I don't know if she attended the funeral. I do know quite a bit of other things.

And no, I am not leading anyone on, as I am not seeing anyone or dating anyone to lead on. Nor do I want anything to do with men at this point in my life, so I cannot be leading anyone on.

And why don't you buy your own coffee?

There isn't any hostility sweetie.

You defined this woman with all those negative words.

I've seen unattractive men with beautiful women
I've seen unattractive women with handsome men
I've seen big girls with attractive guys
I've big guys with attractive women.

Beauty is up to the individual

I wasn't putting words in your mouth. You worded it to imply he picked her, because YOU perceive her to be ugly.

No, it isn't ok to lead anyone on. Okay.

LOL, do you ever treat him to coffee? If you are not "involved" other than just friends, it would be a nice thing to do. And don't call me sweetie.

Yeah, having an affair is a good thing... god what a stupid idea. The husband got what he had coming I guess.

Teehee! Yes, just friends. You're absolutely correct. It would be nice, but I don't. He loves it, so why would I deprive him buying coffee.

I don't know if this is the same or just similiar but I have a married friend (unhappily) who is having an affair with an unhappily married man. Neither one can leave for fianancial reasons unless they want to be homeless, not kidding. She has 2 teenagers, he is raising 3 young grandchildren his wife took in without talking it over with him ( I know him too so that I am sure of) the affair has been going on for 9 years. I don't ever see them being completely together but both get comfort from being together when they can, very infrequently. Both get what neither of their spouses give, love and attention. I was from the "don't cheat on your spouse" side until I see how much of a better mother she is, believe me before the affair she was just plain angry, miserable and always yelling at her boys...... to the point that it made other people uncomfortable! So I am happy they have each other after seeing the good that has come out of it.
