I thought suing your husband’s mistress was ridiculous, but this takes the cake. Here’s the story: A Toronto woman (man those Canadians love to cheat) and mother of two was having an affair. Her husband eventually found out about it when he noticed a bunch of long-distance calls to their residence. He then left her. And now she wants to sue the cell phone company for $600,000. Smh.
The woman alleges that Roger’s Wireless improperly terminated her phone bill under her maiden name and combined it with her family account. The defense is that the woman was behind in her payments, so they canceled the defunct account and added it to one in which they were making payments. The company also left a voicemail instructed them that they were going to terminate her personal account. Also the company put all of the family accounts together once the husband decided to add more services to the account (phone, TV, Internet).
According to the article:
Nagy is deeply embarrassed and ashamed about what happened. “It was a mistake,” she said of the affair. “But I didn’t deserve to lose my life over it.”
After her husband left her and their two children, ages 6 and 7, she was so distraught her work performance suffered and she lost her job as an apartment rental agent that had paid her almost $100,000 until she was let go in Oct. 10, 2007. “The plaintiff wept uncontrollably at her workplace . . . and became incapable of performing her employment duties,” reads the statement of claim. Nagy says the employer was aware of the situation and that she was receiving medical attention.
Let’s get this straight. YOU decide to sleep around on your husband. YOU decide not to pay the account in your name. And now YOU want to sue because your husband found out about it. You’ve got some nerve. You don’t deserve to have your life ruined because of this? Why not? Being an adult is about accepting responsibility. It’s called liability. If you are bold enough to cheat, you need to face up to the consequences. If you want to blame someone, then look in the mirror. $600K is not going to get your life back.
