Midlife crisis may be causing rocky road
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Chuck,” and I
have been married going on five years.
He’s a long-haul truck driver.
Three weeks ago, he asked me for a
divorce because he’s been cheating on
me with a long-haul lady driver I’ll call
Annabelle. The next weekend, he
came home and we were together like
nothing happened.
The weekend after that. Chuck said
he’s decided to hold off on the divorce
until he can straighten out his head. He
says he’s depressed and unhappy, that he still
loves me, but he doesn’t know what he wants.
Before he left on his new job driving with
Annabelle he put his wedding ring back on.
Then Chuck made a comment I still don’t
understand. He said that she was happy he did
it. Chuck says I have to lose my stomach and
firm up my breasts, but that is easier said than
done at 40. Before we got married. I was a size
24. Now I’m a size 16. so where does he get off
saying I’m too fat?
Some of my friends say Chuck is going
through a midlife crisis because he’ll be 45 in a
couple of months. I don’t know what to do any
more. My head says to file for divorce and get
on with my life. My heart says to wait a couple
of months. I love him deeply even though he
ripped my heart to pieces and destroyed what
little self-esteem I had left. Please help.
HURT AND CONFUSED
DEAR HURT AND CONFUSED: Hold off
on that divorce. It appears your husband’s spirits
are sagging more than your stomach and
breasts. His problem could be a midlife crisis or
depression but whatever it is, he needs to
speak to his doctor and stop projecting his prob
lems onto you.
PS. He should also change driving partners.
If 1 were you. I’d demand it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 31). You radiate
health and beauty this year!
Something you've been want
ing that represents your status
is attainable in the next seven
weeks, but you may decide
you no longer need it to show
how far you’ve come. Inner
beauty and new habits are
what attract love to you.
Lucky love signs are Virgo
and Aquarius. In June, you'll
pack your stuff! Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 20,45, 11 and
39.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’ll admire how the next
“generation" takes your sug
gestions and goes one step
further with them. Romantic
life has more bark than bite
now your loved one is all
talk, but that's fine with you.
Anticipation is sweet!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Relationships in need of repair
and restoration fare well.
Mates are more amenable to
new solutions than you
thought they would be. You
feel safe enough to pull dor
mant feelings out of the dark
recesses and deal with them!

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, "Nancy,” is 14

hours, then I called the police and filed a
report. She didn’t show up until after 11 p.m.
Her excuse was that she was working on an
English project with a friend. I wanted to
believe her. I told her she should have at least
called. The next night, she did the same thing.
This time, I called her friends and found
out she was with a boy named “Steve" and she
wasn’t doing homework.
What can I do, Abby? My daughter will not
listen to me. She plans to continue seeing
Steve, even though I forbid it and plans to
spend the night with him. I think she’s too
young to be dating this seriously. What’s the
best way to tell when your teenager is ready to
date?
WORRIED IN NEW YORK
DEAR WORRIED: Girls who are “ready to
date” are young women who have proven they
are responsible, make intelligent decisions and
can be trusted. Your daughter has not done
this, and she is on the verge of getting herself
into serious trouble. As her parent, you must
quickly learn to assert yourself something
it appears you have not done. There is a sup
port group for parents of hard-to-handle chil
dren. It is called BILY (Because I Love You).
For information and locations, log on to the
Web site at www.BlLY.org.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) The stars give you the
gift of instant rapport, so you
don’t worry about how
you’re being received. Lunch
with the gang, dinner with
old friends, or meetings and
brainstorming sessions bring
good luck.
CANCER (June 22-July
22) You are completely,
admirably motivated. Your
industrious attitude is conta
gious, and those around you
will realize there is simply no
room for slacking. There’s
money to be made and valu
able service to be rendered.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
stars lend you energy to
reform or reinvent yourself.
Those who thought they
needed a long rest are revital
ized by making simple
changes! The afternoon is
lighthearted, helping you
communicate the best in your
heart.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ll do much in the name
of spontaneity and adventure.
A small variation in your
routine gives you increased
energy and vitality. Illogical
events are featured at work.
A far-fetched idea could
become a reality.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 23).
Hold on tight this will be
an up-and-down day, but
much is accomplished. When
your team has a strong com
mon purpose, obstacles in
your path are actually fun to
knock down. Getting the
right perspective is key.
going on 21. She wants to start
dating, but I don’t think she’s
ready. So she goes out anyway and
doesn't ask my permission. After
she’s out, she doesn’t bother to
call to say where she is or if she’s
OK.
Nancy also refuses to do her
chores. Not long ago, she failed to
come home after school; she takes
the bus. I looked for her for two
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You're fearless or at
least that’s the impression
you give early in the day.
That’s why if you’re going to
ask someone out or try and
get a raise, do it as early as
possible. There's a kindred
spirit in a Taurus or Virgo.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Face it. you’re a bit
of a tease. Make intentions
clear with a new love. Don't
mislead. For those of you
cohabitating, it could get
sticky. Not everyone is doing
their part. To forgive and for
get benefits everyone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) In case you were won
dering why yesterday’s situa
tion didn't seem to have the
effect on you that you
thought it would, you'll feel a
delayed full emotional impact
now. Give yourself plenty of
space to sit with feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Everyone wants to be
celebrated. If you’re willing
to celebrate others, they'll be
eager to reciprocate. Take ini
tiative. After all, good inten
tions aren't enough unless
they are followed up with
action.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) When you get very clear
about what your values are,
you begin draw something
different to yourself.
Vulnerability attracts power
ful love, and powerful love
attracts financial stability. At
work, remember that you
have the control.
