    Marriage-ending drama!

    Or "Why I'm Glad I Don't Work in the Copy Center."

    A woman came in tonight to have some stuff copied. As it happens, it was an invoice from Victoria's Secret that she found among her husband's stuff. And it wasn't for items he'd bought for her. She said it wasn't even her size.

    One of the items on the invoice was a......whip......

    I didn't even know you could get such things from Victoria's Secret.

    So this woman was quite pissed and didn't hesitate to tell the copy center all about it. She intends to sue her husband for adultery.

    That in itself would make for an interesting anecdote. But it gets better!

    Not ten minutes after she leaves, a guy came in looking for have some documents scanned.

    Divorce papers.

    Guy: Yeah, my wife caught me cheating on her and I need to file for divorce so she can't sue me.

    Yeah, it was THE guy. He missed his wife by less than ten minutes. Hoo boy, I'm glad he didn't come in while she was still there. I don't want to think about the scene that would have ensued.

    If I didn't see that VS invoice with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed this. Wow.

    That's funny.

    However, I am reasonably certain you can still sue someone who is divorced.

        I didn't know VS sold whips, either.

        Even if I *did* know that, I doubt I'd get one from there.

        I'm looking for something...more suited to my needs.

          Wait. How do you sue your husband in any meaningful way? Most assets are joint. Unless she was going to sue for divorce on grounds of adultery. And wouldn't it be better for him if she asked for it? I have NO idea. Meh, doesn't matter.

            Who the hell knows? Her suit may not go anywhere, but it makes for an amusing anecdote.

              Victoria's Secret does not sell whips. I'm 99% certain of that. The website does have a facial moisturizer described as a "whip" because of the consistency, so maybe the guy was just trying to combat the signs of aging.

                Maybe it was Fredrick's?

                  AFAIK, Frederick's doesn't sell whips or the like either. Mostly lingerie and high heels.

                    According to the girl working the copy center, they starting selling that stuff after some other company went out of business. I didn't ask, nor did I delve too deeply into it, but my guess is they don't list this stuff on their main website.

                        Adam & Eve is a pretty nice catalog. Shame the DH just got laid off. So now our budget is $200 in the whole every month, even after cutting out transferring to savings every month.

                          I am not a lawyer, and laws vary from state to state.

                          Not all lawsuits are about money. Even though most states have no-fault divorces, many states do allow at-fault divorces as well, and even lawsuits for infidelity or alienation of affection. My hunch is that he's trying to file for no-fault before she can file an infidelity suit, because if the no-fault goes through, it's a 50-50 split, and if it's a case of alienation, she stands to take him to the cleaners.

                            Tempting, even though I'm not all about the whole Hello Kitty thing.

                            I just want a whip.

                            I guess I'll have to search around.

                              cos the site that comes to mind... i dont know if i can post here, even if i make it unclickable (very nsfw)

                              anyway...
                              she could sue for divorce, or perhaps a pre-nup... and maybe just sue anyway. and in many states, proving your spouse is cheating on you gives you more leverage in what you get to walk away with.

                              i just don't see how his divorce attempt will get him out of being sued, unless she was going to sue for divorce
