rv r>ti j """ | WnBH - | Jf *1 A** Omul Would-be bride has kissing dis-ease By Abigail Van Buren Ct 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y.News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: Izzy and I have been living together as man and wife for eight years. We really love each other, and I want to marry him, but here is the problem. I have this crazy hangup I can't seem to get over. I CANT bring myself to kiss a man on the mouth! No one would believe that two people could have such a great relationship without ever having kissed. I am 43 and have never been married, and Izzy is 50 and has been divorced for 10 years. My astrologist says our signs show us to be compatible in every way—and we certainly are. My chiropractor, who also knows Izzy, says he’s never seen a couple better suited for each other. I went to a psychiatrist a few times, and he says this obsession I have about kissing a man on the mouth stems back to when I was a little girl and my father, who was a heavy cigar-smoker, always kissed me on the mouth, which made me so sick I sometimes threw up. The only thing Izzy and I ever argue about is marriage. I told him I’d be satisfied with a wedding ring from the dime store, but he says, “No kisses—no mazeltov.” What is your advice? BELLA IN BROOKLYN DEAR BELLA: Some men might be willing to tolerate a kissless marriage, but apparently Issy isn’t one of them, so you have two options: Get into therapy and stay with it long enough to overcome your hangup, or continue as you are and pray that Izzy never needs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. DEAR ABBY: I had to laugh when I read the letter from HAD ENOUGH, the 16-year-old girl whose mother insisted she have a second nose job because the first one was lopsided. That letter brought memories of the “nose job” my mother gave me when I was 13. One evening I was washing the dishes and my mother was drying. I was giving Mom a lot of guff, whining and complaining. Let’s face it, I was mouthing off. My mom had never hit me anywhere but on my backside with her hand, and then only when I deserved it, but I guess I pushed her too far that night. Finally she said, “Will you please shut up?” Always having to have the last word, I said “YOU shut up!” Well, she was holding a big stainless steel frying pan in her hand at the time. She grabbed me by the back of the hair and made like my head and the pan were a pair of cymbals. Clang! Honey, you think YOUR nose is lopsided? Having my nose broken, and the good cry and long talk we had afterward did wonders for my attitude. My nose is still lopsided, and maybe one day 11l get a professional nose job, but the older I get, the less important what’s on the outside seems to me. It’s what’s INSIDE that counts. Thanks, Mom. GWEN DEAR GWEN: You’ve really got it together, Honey. However, I’m opposed to violence of any kind. CONFIDENTIAL TO “NOT WITHOUT SIN”: Who is? Just train you child to follow the way you know you should have gone yourself. Providence will do the rest. Everyone has a problem. What's yours?
