Know-it-All Husband Needs a Word to the Wise from Wife
DEAR ABBY: My sister, “Frannie,” and I connection? In our situation, my wife seems
men who are complete opposites.
My husband, “Grady,” is a blue-col¬
lar guy who never attended college.
He has many wonderful qualities, but
lacks self-esteem. He has a good,
stable job and is more “street smart H
than “book smart.”
Frannie’s husband, “Austin,” has
a graduate degree and a professional
i
who loves to flaunt his knowledge to every¬
one, especially to Grady. This makes my hus¬
band feel insecure and makes it difficult for
us to be around Austin and Frannie.
I have told my sister how we feel. She
says I need to talk to Austin about it. If I do, it
will cause a huge argument. I just wish
Austin could be a little less boastful and a bit
more humble. Any suggestions on how to
deal with this?
— FRANNIE’S KID SIS
DEAR KID SIS: Before I offer any, has it
occurred to you that Austin may be even
more insecure than your husband, and your
sister is a wimp? It is not your “job” to teach
her husband social behavior that’s what a
loving wife does when her husband does
something obnoxious. And Austin’s behavior
falls into that category.
Perhaps, if you point this out to Grady, it
will help him feel less insecure around his
windbag of a brother-in-law. Educated people
who feel good about themselves do not have
to show others how smart they are. In fact,
they are so adept at sharing their knowledge
that they can converse with anyone on any
level without the person feeling talked down
to.
DEAR ABBY: What do you think of mar¬
riages where the husband and wife merely
tolerate each other and have little emotional

DEAR LOVELESS: Marriages in which
the spouses “merely tolerate each other with
little emotional connection” are called mar¬
riages of convenience. I’m sad to say they are
not uncommon. Some couples who have
drifted apart have been able to reconnect
through a program called Retrouvaille; which
began in 1977 in Canada. Although it is
Catholic in origin and orientation, it is open
to all married couples regardless of their reli¬
gion.
I have mentioned Retrouvaille in my col¬
umn before. It consists of a weekend, plus a
series of 12 presentations that take place over
the following three months. The program is
run by three married couples and a priest. The
team couples,” all of whom have experi¬
enced disillusionment, pain and anger in their
own marriages, share their personal struggles,
reconciliation and healing.
Before you decide whether to continue
living in an emotional desert or chuck the
marriage entirely, ask your wife to attend a
Retrouvaille weekend with you. It might be
the spark you need to get your relationship
going again, and it has worked for many other
couples. For information on programs in your
area, call toll-free 1-800-470-2230 or visit
www.retrouvaille.org.
Horoscopes by Holiday
it one. You're as successful as
you are resourceful. Look at
the facts and refuse to take
things personally.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Life isn't compliant to
your demands. It's more a
wily teenager than a kindly
butler. It rebels against your
attempts to control it. The
future comes in its own time
and in its own way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have very little ego when it
comes to your work now.
You're willing to use the idea
that will forward the interest
of your entire group, whether
or not that idea was generat¬
ed by you. Sagittarius is your
ally.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You're happy with yourself,
which comes across in a
pleasant, friendly manner.
Some would even accuse you
of flirting. Because you
appreciate what's special
about you, it's easy to see
what's special in others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Prepare for wheeling and
dealing. You feel that you
deserve to get the very best
money can buy and get it for
a lot less than others would
pay for it. And you'll find
smart ways to make this hap¬
pen for yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You not only admire
stellar professionalism, you
feed off of it creatively. You
may even get a buzz just
being around people who
know what they're doing at
work and do it well. Pisces is
such a person.
PAGE 7B
is,” but I feel that marriage should
offer ptore.
I would press for a divorce
except for the fear of making
matters worse. In this case, no
children are involved. It’s dflubt
ful that counseling would change
a thing. Do we just stick it out
after 25 years of marriage?
—
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). You're emotionally
strong, which makes it
unnecessary to have a huge
ego about things. Review
your victories and your mis¬
takes. Put new rules in place
to help you repeat what
worked and leave behind
what didn't.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22
Jan. 19). Yes, you're working
on a team. It's still crucial
that everyone is individually
acknowledged, and that
includes you. When it's your
turn to accept the applause,
take a bow.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Sure, life is stressful.
But it's a lot less stressful for
the people who happen make them to be
around you. You
laugh — what a wonderful
gift to provide a joyful
release for others. You're fun¬
niest when you're vulnerable.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Reflect on relationships,
finances and the state of your
soul. It's important not to
make any changes until
you're very certain what is
working for you and what
isn’t. Don't move until you’re
absolutely sure of your
course.
