Q: Can I sue for the emotional distress of a four year affair in which I was lead to believe she’d leave her husband

A: first, you need to ask this question on a family law forum, not a criminal or PI forum.

you should write everything down and make appointments with some family law attorney near you.

anyone can sue at any time for anything. The issue is will you prevail and do you want to spend the money.

this is the type of matter I believe that most lawyers would only take on an hourly, not contingency.

the bottom line is, do you want to continue to throw money at her by paying a lawyer. Even if you win you probably lose unless she has the means to pay a judgment.

if you get a judgement the next issue would be collecting on it.

i think a psychologist will tell you it is better to severe the relationship and litigation will perpetuate it.

if you are to pursue this don't post things on a forum like this that are discoverable.

A: No, you cannot successfully sue because someone broke your heart and misled you. That happens everyday, all day, everywhere. You might be able to sue for threats of physical harm, but since no physical harm actually occurred, your damages are not very impressive. Stay in therapy. You are in the grips of depression. It does get better, but a lawsuit is not the answer based on the facts you have described.

A: Your first mistake was having an affair with a married man. Morally you are at fault for all of your problems. I am sorry you are going through all of this, but I don't think justice is on your side here.
