Can I sue for harassment?? My husband lost his job.?

Question

Ok, my husband and I dabbled in the idea of being "swingers" for a while. We met a couple about 2 years ago. The wife was too ga-ga over my husband and HER husband pulled the plug on the whole thing. Flash forward to Nov last year. She comes across is phone number and begins texting him without her husbands knowledge. We were not aware that he didn't know about it. She tells my husband, email me instead of texting. So he emails her (stupidly) from his  work email address. I advise him she seems a little shady and he stops communication.

So now, months later, her husband emails my husbands bosses and HR and forwards the emails (and pictures which were NOT sent via email, although he says they were) that were sent from his work address. My husband loses his job.

I understand that he lost his job because he was stupid and emailed her form his work address. HOWEVER is there anything we can do legally for what he did? I mean, this is was his career. I'm terrified that this guy may follow him or who knows what else! Please is there anything we can do?

And if you're answering just to say you don't agree with being a swinger, save it.

Thank you!!

The husband might have been inappropriate, but that doesn't change the fact that your husband WAS at fault for using his work email that way.

Sorry, it's his actions that caused the dismissal, not the husband's.  If the company had found the email though an internal audit, the results would have been the same.

It's not harassment. Your husband used company property and resources for his personal affairs, which is very likely against company policy. Her husband emailing your husband's boss and HR the emails is a one time thing, and was just him giving proof that their system was being used for personal purposes.

If you feel your husband was wronged in this matter, please contact a lawyer where you can go into much more detail than you can here. There might be something that you failed to mention here that could be a deciding factor, adn it could come out in a discussion with a lawyer.

You can't sue for harrasement  since he was using his freakin work email to try to hook up with another woman. Conduct of that kind is strictly forbidden in all work places. Your husband is an idiot. And you can't sue for harrasement since every single thing is TRUE. It's not like the husband made anything up. Your husband was using his work email and work time to try to boink some other guys wife. What in the hell did he think was going to happen? You can't sue over the truth. This is what happens when morons like yourselves think you can get away with immoral behavior.

Nothing you can do to her. He did send her unprofessional e-mail from his work e-mail.
