Wow!!!! This is sooo sad. I understand that he feels lonely and but B. Smith is still alive and she is still his wife regardless of her mental state. Therefore, it is wrong for him to not only have a girlfriend, but to have the woman in B. Smith’s presence. I’m sorry but right is right and wrong is wrong. He’s wrong for doing that. I personally feel that it is disrespectful to B. Smith and her family and for what she stood for. If she were in her right mind, she would never approve of this.
Do you think he could have gone on doing it by himself?
Nobody knows what it’s like to be him unless they live in his shoes.
