It’s very weird to me that some states let spouses sue a third party for their partner’s infidelity. Sinema is clearly a morally bankrupt asshole, but this guy cheated on his wife.
I always thought the “how dare you fuck my partner” instead of “how dare my partner fuck someone else” was really weird…
… Story time!
When I was about 14 I was with my second partner (17 or 18 then) in the back of a car with one of their friends. My partner started getting all touchy then leaned forward and shook their ass between the two of us, and they grabbed and put their friend’s hand on their butt. I thought it was weird but didn’t react much in the moment, just kinda withdrew. Later they said they were disappointed that I didn’t get mad at their friend and get possessive / tell the friend to stop. Like… What?! YOU moved THEIR hand and continued to encourage them; why on earth would I be mad at THEM?
Unsurprisingly they took my virginity while cheating on me and left (: learned a lot of valuable lessons.
But yeah, partners are responsible for their half of the monogamous contract: if they break it, I hardly give any shits about third parties (unless they should have told me, like a friend etc). But sueing them? That’s even another level of weird
Not unprecedented, but still very strange, doesn’t make sense to me either.
From the article:
North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” to seek damages from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.

At least you got laid. Based on those actions, she had to be pretty sexy. Please see a hot sexy scale for context if need be.
So this isn’t unprecedented then? I’ve never heard of a spouse suing their ex’s lover before… That doesn’t make any sense to me.

From the article:
Maybe it’s like interfering with a marriage contract or something and it’s worth money 🤷♀️
It’s probably more of a “give me money to not damage your reputation” lawsuit.
