Will JAG do anything if you found evidence of your spouse's affair that happened an year ago?

Question

i was told to go to jag by the commander.

Answer 1

If you want to start an investigation you can talk to JAG. The fact the commander is not interested may be a bad sign of no follow up.

And yes Adultery is a serious offense, dealt with severely. In my BN, you will get more time in confinement for cheating then failing a drug test.

Answer 2

If you are ready for the consequences then go.  If you found that you can forgive your husband and still love him then try to forget about it.  Once you start the ball rolling it may be hard to change the direction of the roll.

Answer 3

You commander is an idiot! Having an affair is not a criminal offense. It's a civil matter. The JAG's office will not prosecute what is a minor civil case. I realize it's very important to you, but it's not a criminal case.

Answer 4

Adultery is not a crime in the U.S.

So no, they won't do anything about it.

If you want to divorce then do so. Stop tying to "punish your husband".

There are many reasons for an affair and it is not all his fault. Accept some responsibility too.

Answer 5

If your husband has been good to you in the past year and repents his infidelity, don't break off. It is better to keep the relationship. You should, however, tell him that this is absolutely unacceptable and will be the last time you are forgiving him.

Answer 6

The question is are you and your spouse still together?

If you're not, then let it go! It didn't work between you two for whatever reason, and there is no good that will come out of making trouble for your ex's military career. It would be purely out of revenge, which is immature on your part.

However, if you guys are still together and you just found this out...I still wouldn't go to JAG. Obviously, you two have continued to be in a marriage for the past year so it most likely was ok, if not happy. Based on this newfound information, of course you have the right to decide whether or not you want to stay with your husband...but again, going to JAG is just going to cause more drama, and really is a decision being made out of spite.

Just take the high road and either forgive your husband, or hold your head high and move on to bigger and better things.
