Why would you want to publicize your humiliation. Aren't you hurt and angry enough.
Get counseling for your anger. And, get a divorce. Otherwise, it can cost you in more ways than you can imagine.
Good luck,

No. New York doesn't recognize such a cause of action. Neither do most other states anymore. Your only remedy is to sue for divorce.
