Maybe, maybe not, but it will really piss off your wife.
After six years of marriage, a husband came out to his wife in Cape Town, South Africa. Apparently, this woman didn’t get the memo. In cases like this, which by the way, wouldn’t happen if society was a little less judgmental, the protocol is clear:
“Why didn’t you tell me?”, “How long have you known?”, and “Are you okay?” are pretty much standard responses, followed by, “What do we do now?”
Has this woman even seen a Rom-Con in the last twenty years?
Nowhere in the Hollywood rule book does it say to sue you husband for being gay. To demand $600,000 for “emotional pain,” “psychological trauma,” and “financial prejudice.”
Nowhere does it say to drag the intimate details of your husband’s journey to accepting himself through the court.
The High Court Judge, obviously familiar with the concept of human compassion, threw the case out of court.
Amen.
Phew… I’m glad to hear that the judge was a wise and compassionate man. I was afraid to read further.

Yes, it’s scary to think how this could have gone 😦

I am really glad that case was thrown out. It is a shame that people get hurt in these situations, but yeah, if society could be more accepting then we’d be less likely to see this occur.

This is the first time I’ve heard of a lawsuit for this, but I’ve heard plenty of stories about ugly divorces that seem to amount to the same thing.

Yes, divorces can get ugly. But bringing a law suit on top of divorce proceedings seems a bit much.

His wife was enraged at the wrong person. I wonder if people blame the victim because accepting the truth means accepting that they are also to blame?

Hadn’t thought of it like that, but blaming the victim is always easier. At least, you know who they are.
