What if that husband never actually existed except in her own mind? That's a better analogy considering where you're obviously going with this.
It wouldn't be impossible to tell a half-truth and let her know that he did not ever express the desire that she forego all other relationships for his sake, without mentioning the fact that he didn't love her. She can hold onto what is only a harmless misconception while still having the ability to enjoy her life as she should.
Believing in a fictional God is not the problem with theists, really. It's when belief in a fictional god inspires real-world consequences that it becomes a problem.
