A Pasadena man has learned one of life's lessons the hard way.  He learned what can happen when a man fools around on his wife while he's off working in another town.

Remember the movie Fatal Attraction?  That's the one about a married man who has a passionate affair with a beautiful woman he just met.  When he tries to break off the affair she goes psycho and tries to kill him.

A man from Pasadena had an experience sort of like that recently, except his lover didn't try to kill him.  She did something much worse.  She mailed a nude and lewd photo of him to his wife and neighbors, who called police.

When police came around, the man admitted he had an affair with the woman while he was working on a pipeline job in San Antonio.  He said she got upset when he tried to end it, so she mass-mailed the photo. But wait. There's more.

The man says she also called his employer and said he was stealing from his job site. That got him fired, he says, so he's now looking for another job.He's also looking for a lawyer so he can sue the woman.

The one good thing to come out of this story is that the man and his wife have reconciled and are working out their marital problems.  He may not deserve it, but she's standing by her man.

But he can't look his neighbors in the eye anymore.

The English poet William Congreve got it right when he wrote  "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
