My Wife Had an Affair...?

Posted by 70sfamily | 4:24:00 PM


I am now out over $ 10,000.00 in legal fees, etc. If I sue the man she had the affair with my chances of winning are very remote since there is no alienation of affection law in my state. I could sue him for intentional infliction of emotional harm or invasion of privacy but, again, my chances of winning are remote.

However, if I don't win I want to advise him that if he doesn't reimburse me my legal fees I will mass mail a letter to his business associates, colleagues, neighbors, etc. outlining everything that happened. I understand that the "truth" is an absolute defense to libel or slander. However, my question is this: Could I be sued for extortion or blackmail? I don't want to do anything immoral or illegal. But, I should not be out the legal fees since I'm not the one who committed adultery, abandoned our home, kids, and marriage.

Give me a freakin' break. It's your ex wife that you should be mad at, not the man that she left you for. This guy did not know you from Adam, so obviously, it was nothing personal against you. If you want to sue someone, do it to the ex wife.

Sounds like extortion and Blackmail ....Be happy she is gone .

Don't sue anyone. Don't do what you said you were gonna do. Just leave it alone and move on. No reason to cause more pain.

I understand that you are hurt, but being this bitter is only hurting you. It takes two to tango. Perhaps when the affair started he didn't know that your wife was married. This is not the right example to be setting for your children. Let it go and move on with your life.

I think if you mail out letters to all his associates you could be held accountable and he may be able to sue you. If I was you I would just try to get over it and start out new with your kids. Right now you are just hurt and time will heal that pain, your kids need a dad now not some crazy mad man who is out to get someone and may end up in trouble himself. good luck.

you can't sue for anything---- and why you are out 10 grand in legal fees is beyond me! Your wife had an affair, that was her choice.... if you don't want her around - then divorce
