Dear Abby : Student lover wants marriage course

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is a wonderful guy who’s in college and will graduate in two years. The problem: Len thinks we should get married now, and I should help him finish school. I realize that this would be beneficial to both of us in the future; however, I don’t feel good about the idea at all. I’m an attractive, 27-year-old woman with an 8-year-old daughter. Len loves me and my daughter and wants more children soon. I make $20,000 a year, which is enough for me and my child to live comfortably and not worry about Len’s education or his desire to have more children. Perhaps I should mention that I’m an alcoholic who’s been ‘'dry” for a year. Len helps me to stay dry. I lack confidence to live alone and maintain my sobriety. What do you advise? THINKING IT OVER DEAR THINKING: Maintain-

ing your sobriety should be your top priority, and if Len helps you to stay dry, you’re lucky to have him. It appears that you need him as much as he needs you, but if you don’t feel good about the idea of marrying him and helping to put him through college, don’t commit to anything as permanent as marriage. You need to sort out your

feelings before making a decision. Nowhere in your letter do you say you love Len. When you can answer that question truthfully, you won’t need a Dear Abby to tell you what to do. * * X S DEAR ABBY: I am a post-meno-pausal woman who wants very much to have a baby with family genes. I am thinking about asking my unmarried 20-year-old daughter to have an egg fertilized ex utero by the sperm of my 18-year-old son. Would this be incestuous? WONDERING DEAR WONDERING: It would be not only incestuous, it would be illegal, immoral and outrageous. * * * DEAR ABBY: I am 21 and am expecting a baby in December. I live with my boyfriend, who is 29. He just moved in, and even though we are very happy, we have no plans to marry until after the baby is bom. My boyfriend’s physician told him that his chances of having children were almost nil because of a low sperm count, so this baby is a blessing as well as a surprise. We love each other, but because our

relationship is relatively new (10 months), we don’t want to rush into marriage. My question is, should the birth announcements read: “A child was born to Jane Doe,” or “A child was born to Jane Doe and George Smith”? I prefer the latter, but I’ve never seen any announcements printed that way. If it matters, the baby will have my boyfriend’s last name. CHRISTMAS SURPRISE DEAR SURPRISE: I also prefer using both your names.
