Woman not happy with her
life at common milestone
DEAR ABBY: For years,
I’ve heard about what and
where a woman “should”
be in her life once she turns
the big 3-0. She should
have a thriving career, be
married with kids — or at
least engaged — and have a
full sense of her worth and
knowledge.
I recently turned the big
3-0, but my cards aren’t all
stacked that way. I have
never had a romantic rela
tionship. Most of the men I
wanted to start one with
only wanted sex with me,
and a relationship with
someone else. As I entered
my late 20s, I began reject
ing men who showed signs
of wanting only a sexual
relationship, and now I
seem to have no takers at
all. The fact that I have
gained weight hasn’t
helped, either. It’s not like
once I meet a guy the first
thing I say is, “Hey, I want
a meaningful relationship.”
I’m beginning to worry that
something is wrong with
me. What should I do? —
THIRTY BUT NOT
FLIRTY
DEAR THIRTY: There
is nothing wrong with you,
just as there is nothing
wrong with getting to know
someone before embarking
on a physical relationship.
(In fact, I recommend it.)
However, to eliminate a
man because you think he
“only" is interested in hav
ing sex with you was jump
ing the gun.
I wish you had men
tioned WHERE you were
meeting men. You may
have better luck if you fig
ure out what interests you
have in common with the
men you meet, and develop
relationships based on
them. And, because you
suspect the weight you have
gained may have something
to do with your problem,
resolve to become involved
in physical activities that
will get you out of the
house and into an environ
ment where you’ll not only
get some exercise, but also
meet some eligible pros
pects.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been
married to my husband,
“Asher," for 20 years, and
during our marriage, I have
always been the person
who plans and throws birth
day parties, including his. I
gave him a large surprise
party for his 40th birthday.
Abby, this whole time,
nobody has thrown me a
party or planned a celebra
tion centered on me. I’m
lucky to get a last-minute,
store-bought cake and a
dinner out on my birthday.
Our 50th birthdays are
coming up in a few months,
and friends and family are
asking what I’m planning
for him, but nobody says
anything about mine.
I resent that these people,
including Asher, take me
for granted, and I’m consid
ering digging in my heels
on party planning this time
around. I have told Asher
that maybe it’s about time
somebody planned ME a
party, but he doesn’t seem
to get it. Have you any
advice for me? I like a nice
celebration, but I’m tired of
being the one doing all the
work without reciprocation.
—PARTY GIRL IN THE
SOUTH
DEAR PARTY GIRL:
While you can’t control
how other people behave,
there is nothing wrong with
enlisting some “help” in
your planning. Express
your feelings (again) to
your self-involved husband
and also to the friends and
relatives who have enjoyed
your hospitality for so long
without reciprocating. Plan
the party for Asher, and if
your birthday is again
ignored, plan something
special you might like with
your closest friends — pref
erably, out of town — and
follow through. I think you
are entitled, don’t you?
