1996(People v. Gonzalez, supra, 51 Cal.3d at p. 1213 .) The issue is whether the trial court erred in also telling the jury that “[i]t is a question for you to decide . . . whether there can be simultaneous *1332 cohabitation.” This statement appears to tell the jury either that (1) the issue of simultaneous cohabitation was a factual one for it to resolve, or (2) to decide whether “cohabitation” as defined in the instruction could ever be “simultaneous” and then apply its decision on this abstract question to the facts of this case.
