A woman has sparked outrage after revealing how she wants to attend her affair partner's funeral - despite still patching up her relationship with her husband. She explained how she cheated on her husband "several years ago" and has been working to earn his forgiveness ever since.

But now, after hearing the upsetting news about her affair partner's death, she wants to say her final goodbyes to her old flame. Taking to Quora, she asked: "I had an affair several years ago and my husband forgave me. Should I attend the funeral of my affair partner? My husband is devastated by the thought of my attendance."

However, she didn't quite receive the response she was expecting, with one user saying: "I think you should go! I think you should tell everyone you are going and that you care more about attending your affair partner's funeral than your current husband.

"I hope your husband has the good sense to say goodbye permanently because you are a heartache waiting to happen! I suspect from your question you will not understand this answer." Another outraged user added: "If he had any, good sense, he should bury you with him. You must be a nightmare of a wife. For you to even consider going explains a lot about you.

While others pointed out how her attendance could cause even more hurt to her affair partner's family, especially if he cheated on his spouse too. A third user said: "So you’ve been carrying a torch for your affair guy for all these years and want to put that on full display to humiliate and devastate your husband by going to his funeral. An act of cruelty towards your husband and affair guy’s family. Wow. Just. Wow. What a way to spit on his forgiveness.

"At least your husband will finally know what your priorities have always been and will, hopefully, file for divorce." One more user said: "Who exactly do you feel attending will give comfort to? You there only brings pain - to your husband and your lover’s possible spouse and his family. The only one it soothes is you, you obviously still have feelings for him if you’re even entertaining this notion. That’s a larger problem.

"Your lover won’t ever gain satisfaction in you being there, he’s dead. But you should go so your husband can finally realise the error he made by forgiving you the first time. You obviously don’t understand the 'until death do us part' portion of your marital vows was meant for the two of you, not you and the man you committed adultery with.

"Let your husband out of the disaster you created and still hold on to before you bring him even more pain; you clearly haven’t learned anything or changed your understanding of commitment since your first affair. Yes, first… you’ll do it again."
