Why? I would say the philanderer is much more guilty than the "little slut". The "little slut" made no vows to the wife. The philanderer did. I've always been amazed at the misplaced anger of a spouse finding the other in bed with someone else and shooting the third party, not the spouse.

I agree 100%. The "little slut" hasn't made a promise to anybody. The one who cheats is completely responsible. This is garbage. It seems like it is good revenge for the wife, but who should really be punished here?

That's like saying that you never promised not to steal from the corner grocery so you aren't responsible if you feel like pocketing a Rib-eye, or two.

If the rib-eye is alive, has free will, and had a contract which binded it to the store owner, ONLY THEN WOULD YOUR COMPARISON MAKE SENSE. The "little slut" didn't steal the husband. The "little slut" didn't hold a gunpoint to the man and force him into breach of contract. There was never even any evidence of a breach of contract. This comparison is nonsensical at best.

Go to a competitor's customer and try to get them to break their contract with your competitor and see if you can learn about "interference with a contract".

People get sued for that a lot.

Even then the breaker of the legal contract is the one responsible. The friend of the husband ---apparently not an adulterous friend in this case ---never signed anything. If one spouse breaks the vow or the terms of the legal contract why is a third party responsible in any way? If someone wishes to cheat they'll cheat. Who they cheat with is irrelevant.

Who gets sued? I am really asking, because I'm not sure where you are going. In my eyes, if anybody but the customer (who broke the contract) gets sued, it is wrong. You cannot blame a third party who had absolutely nothing to do with the contract.

If I had a private contract with you to work on a construction project of mine, solely, for 3 million dollars and you could not work anywhere else until it was completed, then you went off and did some other work before my work was complete, who could I go after? My best educated guess would be you. It is quite possible that your second customer had no idea about our contract. Also, it is not entirely implausable that the "little slut" knew nothing about the marriage. How do you hold her accountable? She has nothing to do with the offended contract.

Not true, -- its called "inducing a breach of contract" and it is aimed at you if you were involved. It may not even name your employer, just you. Usually it names you individually, and your employer as they have the deep pockets.

If the little sluts of the world realized that they could be held responsible in court for the marriages they break up, perhaps they'd be more careful. The philanderer is already paying for his misdeeds. The slut should share in the pain.

Curious...if a woman is married and having an affair with a single guy, is he "a little slut"? Is she "the philanderer"? Gotta get my terminology straight here.

I agree that the husband bears most of the fault, but I guess you have never experienced a determined "little slut" going after your husband. You would be surprised how brazen they can be, throwing themselves at a successful, married guy. And it's often just a game, because if he were single, they wouldn't be interested.

She's still a slut; he's a roue, or fornicator, who has cuckholded the slut's husband. Although I think the term philanderer applies, whether he's married, or not. As long as he is seeing more than one little (or big) slut....
