My cousin is married. Her husband is disabled and she is his carer. They do not have a husband -wife relationship because of his disability. About a year ago she took on a lodger to help financially. He, the lodger is much younger than her ( he is 18 and she is 40) but he has been flirting with her for some time now. At the beginning she just put it down to a bit of innocent fun but now she is enjoying the attention and her feelings are changing.
I know they are both adults. She misses the attention he gives him. She knows it is never going to become anything serious or even anything at all. But I am afraid she will end up heart broken. He is a lovely chap , mature at times for his age however we know he recently went out on a “date” and when my cousin teases him about it he says he does not have a girlfriend.
I am afraid he may be playing games with her? Could it be that it is true he does not have a girlfriend and he likes my cousin?
my cousin says things happen for a reason and she wants to enjoy the attention for as long as it lasts but I know she felt jealous when he went on the date.
Any views on this one? I have talked to her many times but because I am very close to her she does not seem to listen to me. Perhaps I am being over protective?
While her position is understandable, I don't think that there is any way that it can turn out well. She's going to get her heart broken and or her husband is going to get his heart broken and/or the lodger is going to get his heart broken. There's really no way that this ends up well.

Is her husband aware that she intends to take on other lovers? Like is he ok with this?
Well yeah obviously he is playing her. No decent man is going to flirt with a married woman, while he is living in the same house as her husband who is disabled.
