Romance Indeed

Wow, allknowing, you have a talent for telling short stories. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this and I know should be reacting to your discussion, but I can't help but admire the way you told this daily routine. The ingredients are all there. There's the introduction, building of the plot, and the climax. The ending was anticlimactic, though. Anyway, my reaction, I am not someone who tolerate this type of activity. But I am a non-interfering type also, so I would just be contented in posting a sign in my garden saying, "This flowers are intended for married and/or legal couples only.".

Hi Allknowing, Well, first I'd have to ask, "how well does the neighbor know this couple?" I am against cheating but they are walking around in public and being obviously very open about their love for each other. This tells me that maybe there may be more to the story than meets the eye. Maybe he and his wife are separated but for whatever reasons have not obtained a divorce. I know that for financial reasons, I did not get my divorce for a few years after separating from my husband. I did date. In my heart I was single. Also it could be that he is not married at all. Some people refer to a live-in lover as a mistress. I think it is sweet that you let them pick your flowers.

Oh dear! I was quite pleased when I read the first few sentences of the discussion but what a disillusioning conclusion ! Of course it is not any of my business. If I were you I would stop them from plucking the flower. He can as well buy it. It may sound silly but I would not have minded if it were a genuine sweet romance between a husband and a wife but why should my garden nurture an illicit love affair! I had posted this response earlier but suddenly it disappeared. I had also seen Sreekala's response and another response by Stowyk [If I remember right]and your comment for which I had written a counter comment. Now I see only two. I just cannot figure out how this has happened

Yeah me too, I'm the non-interfering type. I do prefer to see people in love than in war, lol. I hope that romance they're showing will bring a good situation. I mean, if he didn't love his wife anymore he should tell her the truth or end the relationship with his mistress if he still love his wife, the same with the woman if she has a husband.
