the Ogdensburg boys and girls club

The Boys & Girls Club is a positive place for kids! The Ogdensburg Boys & Girls Club was established in 1964 by a group of people that believed a place was needed to serve boys of the Ogdensburg area to provide them with educational, recreational, social skills, and other positive traits. Admitting its first ever girl member in 1975, today the Ogdensburg Boys & Girls Club serves over 1,000 boys and girls a year from Ogdensburg and throughout St. Lawrence County.

The addition of the John E. Claxton Memorial Learning Center in the fall of 2002 expanded the club’s academic opportunities for its members establishing “Power Hour” for students to receive tutoring in all academic areas. The learning center also hosts the newest addition to the club, the SUNY ATTAIN Lab, which opened in the Spring of 2005. The ATTAIN Lab contains 15 state of the art computers with built in academic coursework for children and adults of all ages, including internet access. The lab is in partnership with the SUNY Research Foundation and is servicing club members and much of the adult community free of charge.

The mission of the Ogdensburg Boys & Girls Club is to ensure and enhance the quality of life for boys and girls of our community and its surrounding area, with special concern given to those who need us most. The Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club offer educational, recreational, arts and technological programs as well as providing a home away from home for area youth. We strive to help all youth reach their fullest potential. The end is realized by providing a safe environment in which to play, learn and grow under the guidance of caring adult professionals acting as positive role models and mentors, utilizing services of volunteers who offer supplemental support. The Club is funded partially by the United Way of Northern New York, the St. Lawrence County of Division of Youth, along with private contributions

Answer

Hello,

I have found that the key to beginning to repair a relationship damaged by adultery starts with:

1) the affair ending. That include ALL contact. No stopping by to say hi. No sending text messages. No emails. Nothing.

2) being totally honest.

You can't heal if you are constantly being rewounded. The cheater needs to show some sincerity behind the words "I want to work on this." That HAS to include ending the affair.

But that is just the first step. Trust has been severely damaged. As long as she continues to lie and be deceptive, you can't have any peace of mind. Honesty may bring more hurt initially because you may find out things you didn't know, but eventually it builds trust because you know that you can work through things, you can confide in each other, and that you will be where you say you are.

Counseling can certainly help- IF YOU FIND THE RIGHT COUNSELOR. Not every counselor agrees with your view of the problem and how to best tackle it, so if you agree to seek counseling, interview the counselor first and find out what his/her approach will be. Know that it USUALLY will get worse before it gets better and hang in there.

Good luck,
Laura Giles

Question

Hi,
I found out from my wife 3 months ago that she had comitted adultry with a friend of hers that she had been building a friendship with over the past 6 months or so. All of the lies that she has told me about situations that came up, and I found out long after the fact that she indeed did lie to me. I've been struggling for the past 3 months to work out our marrige, I even suggested a counselor ( which she did not want to go see, she said she didnt think it would help ) . I'm tired of running around "checking" on her when she's at her girl-friend's house, or at work, or is some other place she says she will be. It frustrates me even more when she says she is going somewhere and I find out she is not there.
Or when I can't find her for multiple hours on end. I try not to think that she is meeting this other "guy" somewhere, but I always think she's seeing him behind my back. She tells me she wants to try and work it out, then I find her at his house " just saying hi". Or a cell phone bill with many many text messages sent to his cell number after I asked her to stop talking to him.
Her latest thing is she told me she sent him a letter saying she wanted for him to stop trying to contact her, and that she needed towprk on her marrige. What can i do ? How am I suppose to fix this? Any input is appreciated.

What constitutes adultry?

My marriage is OVER, I am just waiting for him to turn in the paperwork to the court to get a date. So there is this friend I have known for many years and I am sure he is interested. So I don't want to have sex until my divorce is final but how far is ok? My hormones say "all the way" but my morals say "your still married"?

You are still married, whether it's emotionally over or not. Thus, it *IS* adultry! Period. No if's and's or but's.

So what?

(No disrespect meant, bkg, but I feel very differently about this issue...)

It is certainly true that you may not be emotionally ready to deal with having sex with someone this soon after your breakup--but that is a separate issue from the question of whether it is morally acceptable to have sex with someone with still legally married.

My belief has always been that the only meaningful moral guidepost is the question "would this action cause harm to anyone"? If the answer is yes, then you have to ask yourself very seriously whether the pain or damage you'd be causing would be balanced by the good the action did in others ways. (For example, it might be morally correct to turn in a criminal, despite the fact that you might cause him or her to end up in jail, because you'd be protecting other people from his or her bad actions.)

But if the answer is no...the action wouldn't harm anyone...then is there really any meaningful moral reason not to do it? Broadly speaking, I think not.

Granted, this is grossly oversimplifying the very complex question of morals/ethics, but all in all I think it holds true.



Couple of things. First, I am very honest and blunt, so I apologize if you take any offense to waht I'm about to say.

You are still married, whether it's emotionally over or not. Thus, it *IS* adultry! Period. No if's and's or but's.

Also, your morals are MUCH more important than your hormones! The fact that you are struggling with this answers Pic's question: "are you ready?" I'd guess no.

Now is not the time to dive into another relationship, whether sexual or emotional. Take some time and heal. Everything that I've read suggests that the rebound breakup is harder than the divorce.
picadilly: Don't think of it as adultry. If you're correct & all your waiting for is the papers to be handed in, then think about it as "are you ready"? Your hormones may say one thing but what do your emotions say? How long have you been seperated? If it's less then a couple months, I would say your not ready to start a relationship this soon after. If this is purely for sex, then the choice is yours.

But if your thinking of starting a relationship, don't. Wait. If your not completely healed from the scars your marriage left you, you will ultimately make the same mistakes with this person. Chances are not good at any rate. But if this is just sex, remember that "just sex" can lead to emotional ties & a crutch you will lean on during your divorce.

And if it ultimately fails... you may lose a good friend, sometimes there is no going back once you cross that line.

Think before you do anything, & good luck.
After my X and I had seperated, I was with a friend of mine, a friend with whom I'd had a long time relationship with while HE was married although we hardly saw each other while I was married. We had never had sex before, until I was seperated from my husband. I do not look at that as adultery because the marriage was done and over. Papers we in the process of being filed. My X had 2 affairs while we were married. In RI you can not file on grounds of adultery, otherwise I would have! I think a lot of it depends on how you feel. These are just my thoughts. I hope you find them helpful
