“Ask Boomer Al”

Issue #10; September 2, 2002

Dear Al
I read your column every week and have told others about it. I don’t always agree with you but I think overall your Advice is good and you get people thinking about different options.

In a recent column you addressed a question about a cheating wife and should the friend tell his best friend what he knew. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. I ended up telling the friend and they both got very angry with me, but I feel it actually helped them both in the long run. They went to a marriage counselor and are still together today.

Dear avid reader,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me and our readers. I would always hope that people realize that my column is basically for entertainment. That doesn’t mean that I don’t answer every question honestly and to the best of my ability because I do. Despite the fact that I often tease and poke fun I very much care about people and can relate to many of the situations that people write in about.

This particular situation happens all too often in this day and age. I guess some people who get married these days don’t comprehend the seriousness of a vow. If someone can’t be loyal to the person they swore to be loyal to before God who in the world could or should trust them again?

To see what I mean, read the next question. Amazing!
Al

Dear Boomer Al,
I enjoy and look forward to your column every week. You tell it like it is! I also had a cheating wife and we couldn’t afford professional help so we went to our pastor. He ended up having an affair with my wife and now they’re married! Should I sue him and the church?
Signed,
Upset!

Dear Upset,
Holy moly batman! You hit the jackpot didn’t you? You see upset, cheaters can smell each other from twenty paces. They have this wandering look in their eye and they hold a glance just a little too long.

You wandered into the den of this imposter in a collar and he went into his David and Jezebel act. He didn’t recommend you join the army did he?

I wouldn’t bother with any lawsuit. Your wife was obviously not in love with you and looking for a way out of the relationship. I venture to say that despite the obvious pain and humiliation you feel you suffered from these unfortunate events you’re better off without her and the church is better off without him.

The pastor will never be the same. He sinned in the process of performing his ministerial duties and should never again be in a position to counsel others. He broke his own vow and aided your wife in breaking hers. There is forgiveness for all but that doesn’t mean he should ever be trusted in such a position again. His memories and the resulting damage to his self esteem will haunt him to the end of his days.

We live in an age when so many feel they should be allowed to do whatever they wish without consequence. Despite the desires of many, life does not work like that. We are the sum total of our decisions in life and it always catches up with you at some point. Like I’ve said before, “Wherever the mind hangs out the body eventually shows up.”

As for you, move on. You have much to offer to the right woman as she will have much to offer you. I don’t know what type of husband you were because as always life is a two way street, but whatever was is past now. Learn, become wiser and adjust your life accordingly.
Al


_.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._

I heard a neighbor comment tonight while Helen and I were walking the dog that she's seen enough about September 11. She's sick of hearing about it.

I for one think we don't hear enough about it. I sense already that a good many Americans are forgetting the horror of those days all too soon.

They count on us relaxing our guard. And we always do it seems. What do you think?


_.·´¯) Boomer HA! HA! (¯`·._

"I wonder what's wrong with that tall blond man over there. A few minutes ago he was getting awfully friendly, then all of a sudden he turned pale and walked away? Now he won't even look at me anymore."

The gal replied ...
"Maybe he saw me come in. He's my husband."


_.·´¯)Remarks from the peanut gallery (¯`·._

"Holy moly Batman???"




Have fun. It's later than you think.
