South Carolina no longer recognizes a cause of action for alienation of affection. Adultery gives you grounds for divorce. If you are not interested in pursuing a divorce, then this is a matter you have to address with your spouse. Either way, you would not have a cause of action against the other woman based on the facts presented.
