Unbelievable.
This woman is having an affair, and she is blaming the phone company for the breakup of her marriage because the phone statement was sent to her husband. Through that he discovered the affair after noticing certain itemized calls.
No, life is not fair, and we often do reap what we sow. None of us is perfect or without sin, but justification of sin does not make it 'okay' to sin.

Quote:A Toronto woman says the billing practices of Rogers Wireless Inc. led to her husband discovering her extramarital affair.
Now the woman, whose husband walked out, is suing the communications giant for $600,000 for alleged invasion of privacy and breach of contract, the results of which she says have ruined her life.
In 2007, Gabriella Nagy had a cellphone account with Rogers which sent the monthly bill to her home address in her maiden name. Her husband was the account holder for the family's cable TV service at the same address. Around June 4, 2007, he called Rogers to add internet and home phone.
The following month, Rogers mailed a "global" invoice for all of its services to the matrimonial home that included an itemized bill for Nagy's cellular service, according to the statement of claim filed in Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
When Nagy's husband opened the Rogers invoice, he saw several hour-long phone calls to a single phone number.
"Nobody does business this way and he's not stupid," says Nagy, who is in her 30s. He called the number, spoke to the "third party" who confirmed the affair, which had lasted only a few weeks, Nagy told the Star.
"My husband didn't tell me that's how he found out, he just left."
"The husband used the previously private and confidential information that the defendant unilaterally disclosed to the husband to inquire about the people that the plaintiff was telephoning and the nature of such calls," the statement of claim says.
The statement alleges Rogers "unilaterally terminated its cellular contract with the plaintiff that had been in her maiden name and included it in the husband's account that was under his surname. ...
Nagy is deeply embarrassed and ashamed about what happened. "It was a mistake," she said of the affair. "But I didn't deserve to lose my life over it."
After her husband left her and their two children, ages 6 and 7, she was so distraught her work performance suffered and she lost her job as an apartment rental agent that had paid her almost $100,000 until she was let go in Oct. 10, 2007. "The plaintiff wept uncontrollably at her workplace . . . and became incapable of performing her employment duties," reads the statement of claim. Nagy says the employer was aware of the situation and that she was receiving medical attention.
Nagy's lawyer, Edward Tonello, says this case is unprecedented in Canada.
"In Ontario, we don't have a privacy act, unlike British Columbia and other provinces." ...
When she confronted her husband, he said, "Thank god for the Rogers bill. Had it not come bundled in my cable service I would never known. That's the only way," Nagy says. She asked that his name not be included in the story to spare him further embarrassment. His name does not appear in the court filing.
"I lost everything," she says. "I want others to know what a big corporation has done. I trusted Rogers with my personal information. We had a contract - and agreement that put my life right in their hands."
