No. You cannot sue anyone but your wife for destroying the marriage. And when you sue her it would be for divorce.

Not unless they held a gun to her head.

The employer did not destroy your marriage, whether or not they handled it through their employment policies. The only one who did that was your spouse. Or are you suggesting that all would have been rosy and light as long as she was punished by the employer?

If she was having an affair with anyone, the marriage was in deep trouble regardless of what the employer did.

No, you have no cause to sue. Not unless you like being laughed out of court. And possibly fined for filing a frivilous suit.

If you were in a state that permitted alienation of affection tort lawsuits, you might have a course of action against the boss themselves, not the employer.

However, MI is not one of the (few) states that permits alienation of affection torts these days.
