Let's say you're married with a wonderful person who always was respectful, very loving, understanding, etc with you. Suddenly, your spouse dies and two weeks later you decide to check on their phone bc you miss them so much and you figure out that they were having an affair with someone else. How would you react?

Pissed, sad and mostly blame and question myself. What was missing and what was that something I can't fulfill that he needed to find it in other woman.

I’d feel betrayed. Not because of the affair: because it means he must’ve lied to me many, many times. I can handle most things, but don’t lie to me.

Become best friends with the person they were having an affair with, and ask them to help rise the kids.

Also be completely devastated by the lies, of course.

I’d be pissed and then hopefully let it go for the sake of my own sanity. Maybe I’d get in contact w the person so I could have closure?

I'd honestly feel gutted... but if they are dead, I'd just have to find a way to get over it.

"Uhh, hey, her husband here. I believe you figured this out already but she is, unfortunately, dead."

I'd be thinking they went through their married life unhappy and seeking what they needed elsewhere and died that way, I would have given them what they needed, or ultimately their freedom to go be happy elsewhere if they had asked....that's what I would be sad about
