DEAR ABBY: My husband (I'll call him Joe) and I live in
the same house but have separate bedrooms because I've
known for years that Joe can’t leave other women alone. I got
tired of figf‘x'ting with him about it, so I just gave up. In fact, I
don't even care anymore.
I'm staying with him until our daughter grows up. Barbara
is 11, and Joe is a very good provider. _
A few weeks ago Joe went to Colorado to visit his brother,
Frank, and he took Barbara along. When they came home Bar
bara told me that after Uncle Frank went to work, Daddy and
Aunt Jennie would lock themselves in the bedroom for a long
time. She said Daddy told her not to tell anfi'one.
Abby, should I let this go or make a stink? After all, Jennie
isn’'t just another woman. She’s his brother’s wife! -NAMES
CHANGED
DEAR CHANGED: What's to be gained by making a stink?
Your husband would probably turn on Barbara for turning him
in.
Since your daughter is being exposed to some raunchy
behavior on the part of married folks, be sure she understands
that not all married men behave like Daddy, nor do all married
women carry on like Aunt Jennie.
DEAR ABBY: What is a mother supposed to say when her
child asks, ‘“Can Kevin stay for supper?”’—and Kevin is stan
dinf right there looking up into your face?
always say, “‘Of course, but Kevin has to call his mother
and iet her permission first."’
Then my grat says, ‘Mother, YOU call Kevin's mother. He's
afraid to."”
So, like a ninny, 1 call Kevin's mother, and she says, ‘‘Are
you sure he'll be no trouble?’’ Then what am I supposed to say?
Anyway, I think you have the picture.
I really don’t mind having one more for supper because mine
is an only child, and it's nice for him to have someone to play
with. But I don't like being maneuvered into it, and my son
pulls this often. Also, after supper they play until it's dark, and
guess who has to take the dinner guest home?
Is there a solution?—CONNED IN CONNERSVILLE
DEAR CONNED: Your resentment at being outsmarted by
a couple of junior con artists is understandable, but you're
lucky your son has friends. Simrly instruct him to ask you
privately if he may have a guest for supper.
DEAR ABBY: My fiance (27) and 1 (25) disagree on
something and have decided to abide by your decision.
I am a junior high school teacher in a community of less than
1,000 people, and I live in another small town near where 1
t,e?‘ch. The students in both towns communicate with each
other.
My boyfriend lives about 75 miles from where I live. On
weekends he would like to sleep at my apartment. We would
sleep in separate rooms, and everything would be strictly on the
up and up because I am saving myse%f for marriage. I should
mention that he has trouble staying awake when he drives
home, and has often had to stop to sFeep.
I say I cannot let him stay at my apartment because so
meone would see his car and say something to my students, and
they would not understand. He says it shouldn’t matter since
we sleep in separate rooms.
I trust him, but I don't want to listen to any off-color
remarks. We plan on getting married next summer.—SCHOOL
TEACHER'S REPU’%ATISN
DEAR REPUTATION: Feeling as you do about your
reputation, you're wise to ‘‘avoid the appearance of evil”’ by sen
ding your fiance home on weekends.
DEAR ABBY: I am being married soon in my home town.
I'm planning a rather intimate wedding with only relatives and
a few close friends. My problem is my father. He wants me to in
vite his girlfriend, Sandy. She's my age, and the cause of my
parents’ divorce. I don't particularly care for Sandy and I know
that my Mom would be terribly upset if she came. All the
relatives know about the situation and they would feel uncom
fortable, too.
I have already told my father that I didn’t think it would be
appropriate for him to bring Sandy and he told me if she wasn’t
we?come, he wouldn’t come either.
I want my father at my wedding, but if he brings Sandy it
will spoil the day for me.
Wflat should I do?—COLOR ME BLUE
DEAR BLUE: Let your father know that you want him at
your wedding, but you don’t want Sandy. If he refuses tc come
without her, tell him you’ll miss him.
DEAR ABBY: My old lady and I are having an argument
and hope you can settle it.
I say pigeons are still being trained to carry messages, and
the wife says that pigeons haven't carried anything but
diseases since the Civfi War,
Who is right?— ANDY IN FORT WORTH
DEAR ANDY: You are. Pigeons are still bein? trained to
carry messages. (They were used in World War 11 for that pur
pose).
DEAR ABBY: How do you get rid of a ou don’t care
for?—CINDY 4 il
Dear Cindy: Introduce him to a girl you don't care for.
