25, you're right. A misdemeanor charge isn't much to worry about, but it's clear they also aren't very worried about public embarrassment/shame, loss of employment, or lawsuits over alienation of affection or criminal conversation.
First off, usually the LBS wants to move on with their life and get past this, not make their pain a public spectacle. Second, suing for alienation of affection is a rough thing to prove & win & an even harder thing to decide it's worth it.
If you were to sue the OP, they can defend themselves by saying that THEY were not the primary problem and they did not cause the end of the marriage, but that the marriage was already broken.
And that means the LBSer has to defend their own behaviors and prove the marriage was just fine until the OP came along.
And ^^^that's just gross.
The irony is that most WAS's feel the need to prove they made the right choice by going public with the new relationship. Often they are not ashamed at all.
In fact, many want public validation and public vindication. (Which hurts to see).
The LBS's job is to stay on their side of the fence and do their work and GAL to be happy.
We are not facing a choice between a happy marriage versus a painful divorce.
Our choice is either handling the reality that a divorce is probably coming, in a healthy way
or hiding from that reality & risking our heart & financial future.
^^^Also gross...
