Husband holds hostage wife's diary of teenage memories
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Robby,”
and I are having an argument about my
About
covered that Robby had been keep¬
ing a lot of photos and letters from
his exes in boxes. I wanted him to
throw them out and have continued
to press the subject. His excuse has
been that he “doesn’t have time.”
Last week when I brought it up,
Robby went into our bedroom,
took out my old diary and said it
was the same thing as the box of
letters. He insisted I should throw
it out because it contains entries about exes
and sexual experiences. 1 don’t think it’s
the same thing. Robby took it anyway.
I am heartsick that I no longer have my
diary. I don’t know how to make Robby
understand that the book is a part of me. I
don’t keep it to read about my exes. I keep
it for the information about family mem¬
bers, friends and the thoughts 1 recorded as
a teenager. Abby, 1 kept that diary from my
freshman year of high school until the first
weeks I started dating Robby.
What can 1 do?
— SENTIMENTAL IN SAN
ANTONIO
DEAR SENTIMENTAL: The first
thing to do is recognize that your husband
has a valid point. Next, offer to declare a
truce on the subject of mementos of times
gone by. Then ask him to return your diary.
RS. If Robby has already disposed of it,
then his photos and letters should go, too.
However, I have a hunch he is still holding
onto it and is trying to teach you a lesson in
fairness.
DEAR ABBY: What do you do when

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(MAY 25). You're in high
form this year and your near¬
est and dearest are there to
cheer you on. You take the
good reputation you’re build¬
ing and parlay it into a prime
position in June. You’ll be
making the money you need
in order to push a project to
the finish line in August.
Wedding bells ring in
September. Cancer and Virgo
connections excite! Your lucky
numbers are: 19, 8, 11,45 and
31.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Are you feeling a cosmic case
of divine discontent? It’s not
the end of the world, merely
the end of a particular way of
operating in the world. You’re
upgrading to a more versatile
operating system, and not a
moment too soon!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ve restrained yourself
long enough from showing the
force of your affection for that
person who has the power to
overwhelm you. This person
is about to experience your
adoration unleashed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

someone is just plain rude? I’m talking
about someone who cuts in front of you in
line, or someone who says something nasty

you, not that his
voice carried to you?
— ADVOCATE FOR
KINDNESS
DEAR KINDNESS ADVO¬
CATE: When someone cuts in
front of you in line, you have
two choices: passively accept
the situation, or speak up and
tell the person firmly, but polite¬
that you were there first, and
the line starts in the rear.
If someone says something nasty about
you within earshot, you have two choices:
ignore the boor, or say, “I heard that!” I
recommend the former.
DEAR ABBY: Two weeks ago, w'hile
we were sitting in church, my partner,
“Roy,” began chatting with someone seated
next to him. At one point, the person
reached out and patted the top of Roy’s
thigh. Later, Roy and I discussed whether
this gesture could be considered flirting —
or was it like a pat on the back.
A few days ago, I was shocked to see
my own mother do the same thing to a mar¬
ried male friend. Is this an appropriate ges¬
ture, or does it depend on the level of
friendship or location on the thigh?
— TAKEN ABACK IN
BIRMINGHAM, ALA.
DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Some people
are “touchers” and mean nothing more by it
than establishing contact when they reach
out. Others are lechers. Much depends upon
who is doing the touching, and who is
doing the interpreting.
Horoscopes by Holiday
You can’t give what you don’t
have. So stop punishing your¬
self for the selfish little things
you do. It turns out that these
indulgences are part of what
keeps your mojo going strong.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
It’s a lucky day indeed when
your short-term interests mag¬
ically serve your long-term
interests. This is such a day.
Doing what’s best for you
requires no self-discipline
whatsoever. Follow your joy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No
one likes to feel the snap of
blunt, crazy wisdom, but you
count yourself among the few
who will endure it anyhow,
especially if it’s coming from
someone you’re related to,
because it actually might help.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The muses are with you,
reminding you that your cre¬
ative resources are endless.
You draw on everything in
your life, but find a way to
represent its entirety simply
and beautifully.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Inside you there is a healing
taking place. You’re coming
through this one stronger, but
it’s not time to put the injured
part of you to the test. Be
patient while your soul, mind
and body knit back together.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You act on subliminal *
knowledge and need no other
indicator that your instincts
are correct. A whole story
without words passes between
you and the one with whom
you are so close.
PAGE 5B
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dee. 21). There’s a flurry of
activity as friends and family
wish you well on the launch
of something new in your
life. People want to help you
out, but some are unsure how
to do this best. Do instruct!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Being physically active
restores your emotional bal¬
ance. The connection
between your body and mind
is mysterious, but the good
news is that you don’t have to
know how it works in order
to “work it.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Though you are fulfilling
an obligation, it would appeal
to anyone peeking into the
situation that you are having
the time of your life. And,
when you stop and think
about it, you are!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Living large isn’t about
spending money; it’s about
deep appreciation and the
freedom to take your experi¬
ences in the direction of your
choice. You’ll be packing in
as much enjoyment as
humanly possible,
