Desire for attention drives
wife back to old boyfriend
DEAR ABBY: I have
been married to my hus
band, “Jim,” for three
years, but we have been
together for seven. It
hasn’t been an easy road
for us. I love him, but he
doesn’t give me the atten
tion or time that I want.
We have two kids we’re
raising from previous
relationships. I didn’t
intentionally set out to
hurt him, but three years
ago, I reconnected with
someone from my past
I’ll call “Mac.” Mac and I
have been off and on
since reconnecting. Now I
find myself not wanting
to hurt either of them, but
I’m in love with both of
them.
I have thought about
leaving Jim several times,
but I can’t bring myself to
do it. I feel like I’m living
a double life. Jim sus
pects that I’m talking to
someone else but won’t
come out and ask me
directly. All I want is to
be happy and not hurt
others in the process.
Please give me some
advice.
THOROUGHLY
CONFUSED IN THE
EAST
DEAR THOROUGH
LY CONFUSED: Your
husband is already suspi
cious. If you think you
are doing him a favor by
keeping silent, you are
kidding yourself. He
hasn’t come out and
asked you directly
because he may be afraid
of upsetting the apple
cart. This is not just a
“choice” you are making
between two men. There
are children involved, and
where will a divorce leave
them?
If your problem is Jim’s
lack of attention, don’t
you think you should tell
him that? He won’t enjoy
hearing it, but it may give
him a chance to rectify
the situation. After that, if
he decides he is through
with you, your problem
will be solved and you
can enjoy your big Mac.
DEAR ABBY: I have a
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
5-year-old daughter
“Kim,” whose father is
not in the picture. If that’s
not tough enough, I don’i
know his whereabouts. 1
haven’t heard from him ir
a year because he has hac
past trouble with the law
He obviously isn’t inter
ested in being involved ir
her life, and I’ve acceptec
that. However, he has
family members who live
not far away, and the)
haven’t made any efforts
either.
My teenage son is close
with Kim’s father’s neph
ews, as they have beer
friends since he and 1
dated. I have been debat
ing whether to reach oui
to my ex’s sisters tc
address their lack ol
involvement in Kim’s
life. If they want no pari
of it, I guess I’ll have tc
give up trying, althougt
it’s a shame she doesn’i
know her family or
“Dad’s side.”
The main reason I warn
to contact them is so she
can get to know them or
if they choose not to, 1
can at least explain to hei
(when she’s older) that 1
tried. Do you think it’s
worth it to reach out? Oi
should their absence con
firm their lack of interest';
— UNCOMFORTABLE
SITUATION
DEAR UNCOMFOR
TABLE: Because yoi
feel it’s important foi
Kim to know that you “ai
least tried” reaching oui
to her father’s side of the
family, give them a call
However, it seems to me
their absence is alread)
sending a strong message
that — for whatever rea
son — they prefer to keep
their distance.
