    So this isn’t unprecedented then? I’ve never heard of a spouse suing their ex’s lover before… That doesn’t make any sense to me.

      Not unprecedented, but still very strange, doesn’t make sense to me either.

      From the article:

      North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” to seek damages from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.
