Long-married couple clashes
over wife’s right to privacy
DEAR ABBY: My hus
band and I have been mar
ried 25 years. I was 19 and
he was 28. Among a num
ber of things we disagree
about, there's the notion
that he feels I should have
zero privacy. If he finds out
I locked the bathroom door
or the bedroom door for
five minutes to get some
thing private done, like
shave or use the potty, he
freaks out and yells at me.
He insists that he's the hus
band and I shouldn't feel
the need to lock him out.
This morning I locked
the bedroom door for less
than 10 minutes to pack my
bag for a flight. I was run
ning late and wanted to
eliminate the distraction of
him going in and out of the
room so I could finish
quickly. He flipped out,
calling me rude for making
him feel like he is a pervert
by locking the door. In the
nicest way possible I had
asked him when he came to
the door if he would please
let me have the room until I
was done packing.
Don't I have the right to
lock the door if I feel I need
privacy, or is he right that
there's no need for privacy
from a husband? I hardly
get five or 10 minutes a
month of it. We have a
large home with four other
bathrooms. It isn't a lack-
of-space thing. Please help
me resolve this. — IT'S
PERSONAL, IN NEW
YORK
DEAR IT'S PER
SONAL: Everyone needs
privacy at one time or
another. Because someone
is married does not mean
she (or he) shouldn't have
the right to some — espe
cially when using the bath
room. Your husband is
either extremely control
ling or doesn't trust you to
be alone, and that's not
healthy. What's causing his
behavior I can't guess, but
a licensed mental health
professional may be able to
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
help you figure it out. If he
won't agree to go, go with
out him.

DEAR ABBY: I am a
28-year-old man with a
serious drinking problem. I
function normally at work,
but I have no real life out
side of work or drinking.
I tried AA, but didn't feel
comfortable in an organiza
tion that emphasizes God
as part of the path to sobri
ety. I am desperate to find a
way to recover, but I feel
helpless. Please point me in
the right direction. —
ADDICTED IN KANSAS
CITY, MO.
DEAR ADDICTED:
Because, for the reason
you stated, Alcoholics
Anonymous isn't for you,
I'm glad to offer secular
alternatives. The first is
SMART Recovery, a four-
point program that encour
ages motivation to abstain
and provides help in cop
ing with cravings, manag
ing negative emotions and
finding a healthy life bal
ance.
SMART Recovery offers
face-to-face support groups
worldwide as well as
online meetings. Its goal,
like AA, is lifetime absti
nence, and its meetings
and help are also free.
Unlike AA, lifetime atten
dance at meetings is not
required. To find more
information, visit smartre-
covery.org.
Another resource is
Secular Organizations for
Sobriety (also known as
Save Our Selves). You will
find a list of meetings at
sossobriety.org. Whichever
you choose, I wish you a
successful recovery.
