Wife feels like second-class
citizen in her own home
DEAR ABBY: I have
been married for five years.
My husband and I are both
past middle age and have
been married before. For
much of our early mar
riage, my husband was ill.
He required surgeries and a
lot of care. I never com
plained or felt burdened,
yet the smallest ache I have
is a “pain” for him.
As time has gone on,
there are some things in our
marriage that I frankly
don’t understand. We cele
brate Father’s Day and his
birthday, but never
Mother’s Day or my birth
day. My husband is sweet
and charming to everyone,
but ignores or becomes
very angry with me.
He has called me things
he promised never to say.
He makes excuses for not
wanting to do things
together. He spends 12
hours a day outside to
avoid me. He defends his
friends when they say dis
respectful things about me,
citing the fact that he
“doesn’t want to lose old
friends.” He believes that
whatever is said by others
is my problem and I should
just accept it. We have seen
a marriage counselor and it
has not helped us. Help me
understand, please. —
SECOND IN NEBRASKA
DEAR SECOND: From
your description, your hus
band is selfish, self-cen
tered, lacks the ability to
empathize or nurture and
would rather allow his
“friends” to disrespect the
woman he married than
confront them. I hope you
felt some psychic gratifica
tion from taking care of
him when he badly needed
it, because it appears that is
all you are going to get
from this relationship.
My question for you is:
How long are you willing
to tolerate being treated this
way? Many women would
prefer to be alone than liv
ing the life you are. You
deserve better than what
you have been getting, and
I hope you will have the
courage to go for it.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY: My
youngest son and his wife
invited me to come live
with them in Colorado. I
am 68 and retired, and was
struggling to survive finan
cially and maintain my
home in Washington. It
made sense to sell it and
move into their house.
My son was laid off from
his job and has been seek
ing employment. He
received an offer from a
company in Pennsylvania.
I’m about to receive a large
amount of cash from the
sale of my home, more
money than I’ve ever had.
My son came to me last
evening and asked me to
lend him all of it for a
down payment on a house
in Pennsylvania. He says
he will pay it back once his
house in Colorado sells. He
figures it could take six
months to pay it back.
My alarm bells are ring
ing, and I honestly don’t
know how to respond. I
believe he has my best
interests at heart, but I’m
hesitant to give him every
penny. Am I being silly?
— BIG CHANGES
DEAR CHANGES:
Discuss this matter with an
attorney! IF you decide to
give a portion of the money
you receive from the sale
of your home for a down
payment on your son’s
home in Pennsylvania, you
should have plenty left over
for yourself. But whatever
agreement you make
should be in a legal docu
ment IN WRITING.
