During the 80ās, I worked at a law firm in Dallas. There were 6 attorneys, 1 being a female. After maybe 4 years,the rumor going was that one of the senior partners was having an affair with the beautiful young litigator. He was married and I guess I knew about the alleged affair for maybe a month.
One beautiful spring afternoon, 3 of us were sitting in a conference room preparing 2 of our clients for the next dayās trial. We were involved in a multimillion dollar lawsuit with a company that stole 2 patents from one of our clients. All of a sudden, the partnerās wife came charging through the doors and went straight to the man while calling him every name that I ever heard and throwing our papers on the floor. The 2 clients ran out the door and I kind of stayed still while the rampage went on. My first thought was she had a gun.
The partner made over $1mil per year, plus his bonus. That was a lot of money back then. His wife was always very pleasant, dressed to the nines and she was very pretty. Long story short, he lost it all. She cleaned him out even before the divorce was final. The female attorney was legally fired because she violated the at will policy and the partner was forced to sell out to the other partners and leave the company. After that 1 time, I had to wonder what did it take to make some men happy.
