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.

She doesn't really answer it. Her attitude seems to be, "well, you're going to get caught anyway..."
It's good to see this universally condemned here. I wonder what the reaction at DU would be?
reminds me of an old joke..
guy walks into a bar and sees a guy hunched over a huge stack of valentine cards signing them all, "love you! from yours truly". then he applied postage and went to the next. the guy asked him what he's doing. the man replied, "well, i'm a divorce lawyer, and i'm just trying to drum up business."
Trust me. No one will be accusing you of being judgmental.
An amoral idiot, perhaps.
A friend found a note from her husband's lover, filed for divorce, and later told me this little ditty:
Say it with flowers,
Say it with mink,
But for heaven sake,
Don't say it with ink.
Hummm... Could be useful if you are contemplating an affair: ask your potential co-adulterer if they think this card is a good idea ...
Her website looks like it's down.

thats a MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That's the only debatable thing here. Would that be wrong? The cards are intrinsically evil. But the end doesn't justify the means, so vandalizing them would probably be wrong. But "misplacing" them? Maybe not.
GAAACKK! (Pulling hair out).
Thanks for the ping.
I neglected my pinging duties yesterday, otherwise engaged.
I'll do a big pingout later today.
So, why don't 'thinking of you' or 'missing you' cards work?
Send them to where they work. Leave them on their car at work, or on their desk at work. Set up p.o. boxes?
ohhhh holy moo-moos!!! Is this REALLY necessary????? holy cripes a whole new level of disgusting.
