Estranged husband told unfaithful wife to sell 50k car and drive 1995 Opel before he'd move back

A husband demanded his unfaithful wife sell her €50,000 car and drive a 1995 Opel Corsa as part of his conditions for moving back into the family home.

At a provincial family law court, the mother said her husband moved out after he discovered she was having an affair with a local married man.

The eight-week affair ended and the woman said her husband made three demands for him to return to the family home: That she see a psychiatrist; that she give him €65,000 of her redundancy money; and that she sell her top-of-the-range car and drive a 1995 Opel Corsa instead.
