Soon, you could also find cards for your mistress or the other man in your life, thanks to a new line of greeting cards...
"Everyone knows someone or has been involved in one themselves," she said...
For example, a holiday card begins with, "As we each celebrate with our families, I will be thinking of you."
Another card, meant for an office romance, says, "I used to look forward to the weekends but since we met they now seem like an eternity."...
"People who are involved in affairs are not bad people," she said. "A lot of people meet the right person at the wrong time."
"It's something that's in our society," he said. "We're not promoting it or judging it."...
Aside from the prospect of making money through her new business, Gallagher said she's also doing a service.
"This way they have a way to express their feelings. They're in this conflicting situation. They love this other person but they may not want to break up their family," she said. "It's very taboo, but I'm not judgmental about it. I feel like I'm helping them."
Several people have expressed an interest in the cards, either because they're in affairs and would like to buy them, or as a good business idea, she said.
"Business-wise, they understand that it's an untapped market."...
"We definitely do need a card like that because people do have affairs," she said. "But we'd have some problems when people realize what it is, they're not going to like it."...
When the cards are in stores, they will be discreetly labeled with words like "Love Expressions" or "Intimacy," so it won't be obvious what the cards are for, she said.
"There won't be a big banner that says 'infidelity,'" she said.

Well, if they had a pedophile line, perhaps there'd be enough documentary evidence to have convicted Michael Jackson...
I hope they have bright red envelopes so these nitwits can send each other 'scarlet letters'.
Oh man, I had forgotten about that. What a way to start the day.
A graphic artist buddy of mine who passed away had an idea for a sarcastic line of greeting cards.
Sympathy:
Front of card shows a nice farmhouse/barn with a sold sign in the yard.--inside reads "I heard your Grandpa bought the farm" .
(another one with a dented bucket on the front--"I heard _____ kicked the bucket")
Friends:
Front of card says: "Sorry to hear about your divorce"--inside reads "Do you mind if I call your exwife?".
There were more and we had great laughs thinking them up.
As we slip closer and closer to the edge on our plummet down the slippery slope!
Why not? If we are going to be frank and non-judgemental, let's call it what it is? Do we want wives and lovers in monogamous relationships pawing through this rack? Won't that just piss them off?
I bet you see an awful lot of these cards with little tears and dog-ears applied by irate customers and put back on the rack.
LOL!

I wish I could forget what lurks on her dining room table at home.
Wow at least in the bygone days, you kept this stuff a secret.
How about "4 Da Ho".
TS
LOL
Yes, it does.
CS Lewis was a genius.
Next we'll have cards between stalkers and their victims. Name your perversion and express your feelings.
She's prepared for that question too. She answers it at the end of the article. I wonder how her husband and kids feel about her new enterprise?
God help us.
OK. I'll bite. What the He!! are you talking about?
This is DISGUSTING!
The chance that this woman is happily married is vanishingly small.
