According to the above facts, the Defendant’s act of misconduct with C, thereby endangering the Plaintiff’s and C’s marital life, infringing upon the Plaintiff’s spouse’s right as his/her spouse, and thereby infringing on the Plaintiff’s right as his/her spouse, is obvious in light of the empirical rule that the Plaintiff suffered emotional distress.
