Do i have the rights to Sue someone for Libel & Slander ,defamation
Hi! I am a nurse, single, F, 37y/o. I had a short relationship during my annual leave. I met a man working in a Mall & got attracted to him. During my last few days of my leave i asked him if he is married, he said ''i have live-in partner and she is married once from someone'' but he didn't mention his civil status, so, what in my mind he is still single. June19'07 we had a date, we drink and i stay one night w/him and i pay for everything. June22 that i got back to work, June 28'07 i start receiving bad
messages from his live-in partner. Aug.17'07 she send me a message that she ''went to my place and tell to my relatives & neighbors about my flirting to her man,,and she said they were all laughing at me, poor lady''. Same day she send this note that really banging my ears ''you have to go to OB-Gyne for check-up, need to treat your genital for infection, bad smell''. i have collected all of her messages in my cellphone. Please send me some advice.

you have no right in all honesty. The wife can always argue that she is merely protecting her relationship and that under the law, it is allowed.
