Maybe the new GF sent the "thank-you" card so the wife would find out?.....the plot thickens.... Some cheaters are dumbasses. Either that or they want to be caught. I'd see it all the time when I worked in credit. Women calling up to ask about purchases on their joint account that both names were on only to find out their husband had been purchasing flowers, lingerie, etc. Stuff they never got. Doesn't hurt to look at the bills or the income tht'spaying Some women have trust and confidence in their spouses. Naive,and never question anything. Hubbies get used to that, and assume certain liberties. It all comes out in the wash.....Obviously... Sure, take it out on the florist. ha! If it weren't for those darn flowers, everything would be A-OK with the wifey.....and why the hell was polygamy banned??? Who's responsible for that? | |

I think KIIS FM still does Ryan's Roses where they promise someone free dozen roses and the person can send it to anyone, of course the people usually end up sending them to the person they are cheating with, not knowing that their partners are on the line listening Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

Posted: 2007-08-10 18:36:51 HOUSTON (Aug. 10) -- A married man is suing 1-800-Flowers for $1 million for revealing that he was cheating on his wife. Leroy Greer said in a lawsuit filed this week in a federal court in Texas that he bought flowers for his girlfriend through 1-800-Flowers. He asked to keep his purchase private. Greer said he was referred to the company's privacy policy, which states that customers can ask 1-800-Flowers not to share personal information with "third parties." But, the lawsuit says, 1-800-Flowers sent a thank-you note to his house and his wife saw it. When she called the company, 1-800-Flowers faxed her a copy of the receipt from Greer's secret purchase. The receipt revealed that Greer had sent another woman a dozen long-stemmed red roses, along with a note that read, "Just wanted to say that I love you and you mean the world to me!" according to court documents. The couple was already going through what Greer's attorney described as an amicable divorce. After learning of the affair, Greer's wife asked for a $300,000 divorce settlement in addition to child support, said Kennitra Foote, Greer's attorney. "That thank-you note is going to cost him money," Foote said. Greer is asking for $1 million for breach of contract and deceptive trade practices. "This is not a moral issue," Foote said. "The issue is, is 1-800-Flowers in the business of causing divorce or are they in the business of sending flowers and sticking to their privacy policy?" A 1-800-Flowers spokesman said the company does not comment on pending litigation. In a statement, spokesman Steven Jarmon said, "We take all matters relating to our customers seriously; however, we are not responsible for an individual's personal conduct." Copyright 2007 ABCNEWS.com LINK Here is what I get from this story.... The man fell in love with another while still married although he and his "current" wife are already now going through an amicable divorce. Of course it's not going to amicable anymore. Perhaps his wife felt something was up regardless before the divorce proceedings even started, you know the whole Women's intuition thing? That was why she jumped up and checked into it with a quickness as any smart woman would do! She now has proof of him breaking their marriage vows for the courts. Now while it is true that the company should not have given her any information at all due to their privacy policy, his dirt not only came out in the wash but it got scrubbed clean! 1-800-flowers was just the laundry detergent, or "middle man" as we say. Besides how do we know that his wife didn't "pretend" to be the other woman to get the information in the first place? His soon to be ex-wife may just get her extra $300,000 and well, good for him. He got caught out and is now embarrassed and angry that his game has crumbled. Now he has decided to file a law suit against 1-800-flowers to get as much money as possible to be able to afford to pay his soon to be ex-wife that extra $300,000 per month plus child support! This way he can also continue to afford his new lady love as well. He is laying all of the blame on 1-800-flowers, when it is he who chose to use them to buy flowers for his significant other other on the downlow. No body told him to whip out his credit card, go online smiling, placing the order and clicking on "submitt". When he did that he submitted himself to having a can of "whoop ready to finally get caught" butt. He did it to himself. I mean he should have just picked some wild flowers from a field, packed them the way he is supposed to and just shipped them out himself complete with the note written on line paper. Men....What a HOT mess this is! [Edited 8/11/07 3:05am] | |

Moderator | Everytime Rich has ordered me flowers from them they have sent a Thank you card.
He's a dumbass for using his home address when making the order, he should have used his work address. And he probably used a charge card that was a joint account with the wife, he deserved to get caught. It's not 1 800 Flowers fault at all! In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

exactly, and be prepared to take responsibility WHEN YOUR MISTRESS IS DISCOVERED. not "If", WHEN. 1-800-flowers didn't make him cheat on his wife. | |

No, you're not being harsh at all. The judge should throw the case out, and reprimand him for being a dick. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

They no longer have ANYTHING that can be considered there own including their privacy, is that it. | |

Since, you know, if it's a joint credit card, it's in BOTH of their names and belongs to the BOTH of them. The other thing that bothers me is when you're actively breaking a vow of marriage but trying to get off scott free in the divorce, you're just an ass. He legally owes his wife more money because his stupid, skanky ass was CHEATING!! | |

Actually, it doesn't say she's asking for "more". That may have been her initial request. It's just that it happened after she found out. There's a lot you can't tell from the article. |

Many people have "cheating clauses" written into their prenuptial agreements because, as you said, people cheat. | |
