    Default Can You Sue a Co-Worker for Making Advances on Your Spouse

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Pennsylvania

    I have a very strange situation to get advice on. My wife took a job where I work about 3 months ago. She became friends with a coworker who I made it very clear to that I was not very comfortable with her spending time with. I was promoted recently, within the past three weeks and I could tell that this coworker was upset by this. He actually told me when I was the acting manager that he had seniority over me. After my promotion, he made advances on my wife telling her that he has feelings for her. The relationship became sexual so I went to my employer and told them what happened. My employer fired my wife for business reasons because it would have affected my work habits having her working there. Do I have a right to legally file a civil suit against my coworker for the actions that he took against me with my wife? To finish the story, my wife has since left me and believes that she loves this guy who I still work with. However she keeps saying that she is so confused and she will not talk to me at all. What should I do, file a civil suit against my coworker because he had motive to hurt me or take revenge against me due to my promotion?

    Your wife is responsible for her behavior, not anyone else. There isn't anything to Sue over. Although you may have grounds for divorce on adultery. If you and your wife want to try and save the marriage, see a marriage counselor.

    The sort of claim you are describing against the co-worker is called alienation of affection. Only a handful of states still recognize alienation of affection claims and Pennsylvania is not one of them. As a result, you could not successfully sue your co-worker over this.
