    Hey, Bub. There’s a reason she was looking for something different, and she would have found it elsewhere if it hadn’t been through some website. Might as well sue whatever hotel they booked for making ‘beds available’ and promoting liasions by having ‘hourly rates’.

    Perhaps the reason is – she is promiscuous, cheap and places no value on vows, etc. The man is lucky to be rid of her and needs to be checked for STDs.

    Was he a jerk? Maybe he had an affair too and hasn’t been found out????

    Not saying an affair is the right way to handle a bad marriage because it certainly is not, but it certainly is no ones fault EXCEPT the person who made the choices

    No more personal responsibility for anything. It’s got to be someone (or something) else’s fault.

    Loser pays, loser pays, loser pays, that’s the only way to stop the madness of these ridiculous lawsuits.

    On a positive note, he only valued his marriage at $10,000. Couldn’t have been that big of a heartbreaker.

      Libby, it says “more than $10,000”. That’s all you have to assert, not a specific number. There’s a legal difference when you cross that threshold. Instead of saying $100,000, you only have to say you’re suing for “more than $10,000”.

        OK, Stephen says:

    What does this have to do with insurance, and why are they wasting our time putting it on this insurance news website?

      Because, if you sell insurance, you’re familiar with lawsuits. Lawsuits often involve an insurance policy. If you sell insurance, you need to recognize the risk, the fallout of data breach. That is what it has to do with insurance. I will be watching to see where they draw the line, what their insurer pays out, and which insurer it is!

    “the founder of Ashley Madison told the Observer in an email this week that holding his company liable for the breakup of a marriage “defies most people’s common sense test…Would the courts also hold a hotel room accountable?”

    A hotel is in the business of renting rooms. Ashley Madison is in the business of fomenting infidelity. It is not a general purpose communication service. It is a site which claims to be the “most recognized name in infidelity.” It is, to use their own advertisement verbiage, “The Original Extramarital Affairs Site” — “the online destination for married dating”.
