she lost her husband. The father of her children. You have no idea what you would do while mourning a loss that huge. |
| It would be hilarious if the met on Ashley Madison, since ole Hunter had an account there. |
| She must be suffering from PTSD. |
Np are you telling me that it is right for her to have an affair with her brother in law? That was not only a betrayal of her husband but also Hunter's wife. Also, Beau didn't die that long ago and who knows when Hunter and Hallie actually started. I think it is disrespectful to the kids as well. |
I'm saying grief does strange things to people. And I will not stand in judgement of her. |
Who names a kid after a living brother? Hunter and Hunter now! |
I agree, but an affair with the still married brother of your deceased husband is a bit of a stretch for most people. |
I won't disagree. It is bizarre and icky. And confusing for all involved. But I've never been in their shoes and I won't condemn no matter how uncomfortable it is. |
Then you shouldn't speak for us! I've actually been in those shoes. Grief is unbearable but I didn't suddendly morph into someone else. I am still the same person with the same belief system dealing with unimaginable sadness. If Hallie and Hunter's behavior seem seedy, it is who they are and it's not because of Beau's death. |
That is how you dealt with grief. You don't speak for everyone who has ever had grief, either. |

I think it is lovely that two people have found happiness with each other. Hunter's marriage was already over. I am glad that he is a support for his brother's widow.
In many cultures the BIL will marry the widow of his brother to provide support to the entire family. I have no objections to this. I think Hunter is taking care of his and his brother's family. His ex-wife did not want him so there is no loss there. |
I know someone who named her daughter after her living sister. They are very close, just like Beau & Hunter appeared to be. Also, Hunter was Beau's deceased mother's maiden name so I'm guessing that was a big part of why he named his son that. |
I think this is very sweet. |
| Widows are allowed to love after their husband's death. I am sure that these two people leaned on each other due to their mutual grief and found love. Good for them. He is her BIL, not her brother. |

OP, how old are you? There is a difference between an affair and falling in love when you are single or widowed.
