Immoral atheists

Make him a figment of her imagination then. The distress will be the same - worse perhaps.

And necessary. If she is so deluded, she has serious problems and needs serious help. Telling her the truth is a necessary part of that.

Anyway, you agree then - you agree it would be immoral and misguided to tell her? That what one should do - what a decent person would do - is challenge her evidence that he did not wish her to engage in other relationships rather than challenge the very existence of him/their relationship.

It wouldn't be immoral to tell someone the truth, if it is your intention to dispel a misconception. We're imperfect, we humans; sometimes doing the right thing involves tough love.

I would like for you to equate this to atheists giving theists a hard time, because I can smell the false equivocation coming. Spoiler alert: I only pick on theists who go looking for it.

So you genuinely sense that it is right to tell her the truth? I think your moral sense is off.

So morals are not absolute?
Doesn't that mean they come from ourselves?

First line of my post... did you even read it?

No, evidently not. So you agree that it would be wrong to tell her? You agree that if someone did tell her he/she would be doing something wrong?

Like many have said, before me.
- On her deathbed, there's no point in making her last moments on Earth, something even more painful
- If she still has decades to go, it's all right to tell her... just take it easy, when telling her these things. Even so, she may not believe me... after all, she's the one who lived with the guy for years, not me; why should she believe me? I'd require some proof for the claim that the husband did cheat on her... what kind of proof do I have to present her? You didn't mention this detail in your scenario.
The most likely outcome of just telling her, would be the very emotional NO reaction and a GET THE FUCK OUT and I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

I think Inigo can barely make out reality from his position perched atop his high horse.
