Hev! Doesn’t J hubby have rights? By Abigail Van Buren e 1»74 »r Chicago TrilHine-N. Y. Nows Srnd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: You’re the best in your field, but every now and then even you make a mistake. Example: Woman engaged to man who wants to buy a farm. She refuses to live on farm. He gives in. They live 28 years in city. Now, with retirement approaching, he wants to buy a modest 12 acres, where he can [presumably] raise a little garden, plant a few fruit trees, and perhaps keep a few chickens. He wants to spend his latter years in healthy, happy, productive activity; a most commendable and wholesome idea certainly. The wife had her way for 28 years. Yet you tell her, “Don't give an inch or you’ll wind up with 12 acres!” Doesn’t the husband have any rights? I say he should buy his little retirement plot and move on it, and if she doesn’t want to go along—good riddance! DON BUCK: GIRARD. KAS. DEAR DON: When you put it that way. I’ll have to admit you make a lot of sense, so after thinking it over, I surrender, dear. DEAR ABBY: I read with interest [and envy] the letter from the woman whose husband wanted to share her with his friends. I should be so lucky! Twelve years ago I married a man who was so effectively taught in his childhood that sex was dirty, that after 12 years of marriage he still thinks sex is sinful. Need I tell you what kind of a bed partner he has been? I have had a lot of time to think about it, and if I had to choose between promiscuity and abstinence, believe me. I’d choose promiscuity. DOING WITHOUT IN GAINESVILLE DEAR DOING: I don’t “envy” you, either. But remember, “promiscuity’’ is no pass to paradise—if you can believe my mail. And I do. DEAR ABBY: My husband is almost perfect. We’ve been married for three years and get along fine, but there is one problem. When we are with people Norton is very quiet. I am forever making up excuses for him, like, “Oh, Norton is tired tonight,” or, “Norton isn’t feeling very well.” When he and I are alone together he is fine, but when were in company, he clams up. People keep asking me if he's mad. Have you any suggestions for him? Or for me? NORTON'S WIFE DEAR WIFE: Tell Norton that silence is sometimes mistaken for unfriendliness, so to please try to be more sociable. But don’t nag him about it. He’s probably shy, and too much pushing on your part will make him even more selfconscious. CONFIDENTIAL TO HEARTBROKEN PARENTS: From your letter I would say that you did your best. Now, quit punishing yourselves. Some parents “train up a child in the way he should go,’’ and out of sheer spite and rebellion, the child deliberately departs from it. Problems? You’ll feel better if you get it off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L. A„ Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. Hate to write letters?
