You know, when a marriage fails it took both people in the marriage to bring about that failure.

Blaming a third party is just a cop out - a way to place blame somewhere else other than where it belongs - on the two married people.

The government does not belong in the marriage game. Marriage is a combination of Love (Emotion) and contract (Logic). Emotion and Logic do not mix and you can't apply your morality onto anyone else.

If this were a law, then they ought to follow that up with another law, if your spouse don't put out, you can sue them

Yeh...but how many times have things happened where you had that good friend who made you take second thought that changed your mind? I have seen it a lot in other life areas. I look at it as this: Partners made an investment and another company unethically compromised that contract. They didn't have to. They did so of their own volition. You can get in trouble for poaching within companies. So should you be in societal contracts.

If a spouse has "second thoughts" that's on THEM, not the person who caught their attention

Okay fine, but in committed relationships the buck needs to stop with the two people married to one another

Hey...at least its not caveman savage...lol

I have to wonder how many more issues would be prevented or created by getting the satisfaction from the lawsuit.

I wonder if that law is even used?

I can't see suing the third party.... what if they didn't know the person they were seeing is married?

The third party has no obligation of loyalty, but the spouse who was fooling around does.

So you really think that the person that catches the spouses attention, and knows the person is married, should have no responsibility and no morals or ethics to stay away?

Are you the type of person that feels there is no need for employers to carry out ethical practices, is it every man/woman for themselves in society?
