But a man accused of philandering after using the impotence drug is a sickly widower whose thrice-married companion just wants his money, his lawyer said Tuesday in New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . ``Have you ever heard of an inanimate object breaking up your marriage? You might as well name a chair,'' said Raoul Felder, the lawyer for Francis Bernardo, 70. Roberta Burke, 61, has filed a $2 million lawsuit claiming that Viagra broke up her longtime relationship with Bernardo, a retired construction executive. Sex researchers have said the allegations demonstrate the dangers for some relationships when men take Viagra and suddenly have an increased interest in sex. Burke said in court Tuesday that before Viagra, ``I was looking forward to our old age, holding hands and walking on the beach.'' She said her man was impotent until he popped the tiny blue pill May 1. They had sex for the first time in four years, said her lawyer, Dominic Barbara. Two days later, Burke says, Bernardo walked out, leaving a note boasting of his prowess. ``When he got sick, she didn't say, `I'm leaving.' She stayed with him for all those years,'' Barbara said. ``But when Viagra came into the marriage, he's out the door in two days.'' Felder said it wasn't a fair portrayal of Bernardo. ``He's a very sweet man who's a victim here,'' said Felder, a divorce lawyer who has represented Mike Tyson's ex-wife, Robin Givens and Christie Brinkley's ex-husband, Richard Taubman. ``He's a retired gentleman who's had open heart surgery, a widower. He was married only once.'' Burke was married three other times, Felder said. ``And now, she's taking the only shot she has, for what I have in my wallet - money.'' Barbara said Bernardo has a new girlfriend in New Jersey. Felder conceded: ``He may have another relationship.''
