According to WITN, Howard claims his friend came over for dinner to intentionally destroy the marriage.
“We shared stories. We talked about [our] personal lives. She had originally told me that she wanted a divorce because I work too much, wasn’t around to be there and I worked too much. I talked about that as part of my mistake in the situation, but it was like a punch in the gut because I thought I had this trust for 12 years and love.”
Howard claims he didn’t sue for the money but rather to protect the sanctity of marriage.
