$5 million for loss of sexual function

Think the lawyers were tugging on any heartstrings?

Given her condition since the 2000 procedure, the woman offered her husband a divorce — a man she met on a blind date, just a day before he left for the Vietnam War.

She told him she’d understand if her husband of 35 years, the father of their two children, the one who sent “Love Is …” cartoons with all his war letters, wanted to leave her for someone else.

But love, he told her, is forever.

“He said ‘I’d rather be with you than without you’,” attorney Brian Hurst recalled. “And then he told her ‘I don’t ever want to hear you say that again.’ I mean, these are the two most in-love people I have ever seen in my life.”
