A few weeks ago I posted about a friend of mine who has been married nearly 45 years who had two affairs more than 35 yrs ago. He asked if he should tell his wife. My response was no. A lot of people didn't like my advice. Well here's the update.
He talked to his wife about going to counseling. His thoughts were that this would be the best time to tell her of his affairs. They both agreed he called on a Thursday and made an appointment with their minster for counseling on the following Monday.
ON Sunday they went to church but the minister was not preaching. Before church services began, an announcement was made that the minister had been dismissed and was no longer the minister of the church. The assistant minister gave the sermon that morning.
Afterwards when my friend inquired, he learned that a lady church member had filed a complaint against him for seducing her while counseling her. They were have sex in his office late at night when all were gone. Apparently, he had done this before at his previous church in another state when he was married to wife #2. He was on wife #3 when this happened..
My friend decided to drop the whole confessional thing. Why ruin 35 year of good marriage. He's happy. She's happy. The kids and grandkids are happy. The church members are unhappy.
If I told the name of the town in Missouri, there would be someone here who knows this to be true.
