ShopTalk: Undead Adultery
Dear Abigail,
If your spouse becomes a zombie and is legally dead, does dating someone else count as cheating or adultery?
Just wondering (really!),

Dear Curious,
Legally, you are widowed and can date pretty much anyone. Morally, the jury is still out. Clergy of most religions could argue endlessly on this subject, but generally, the more conservative the faith, the more likely they are to frown upon dating someone new. Conversation and friendship are completely acceptable, though.
Not justifying anything,
