EAR MRS. MANNERS:
HOW CAN you tell a girl you really like that you don’t want |
her husband?
i This girl and I have never known each other real well, but I| greatly admire her. I'd like to be her friend. We probably never will get together because she seems to think I'm still in love with
her husband.
Her husband and I went to-|
gether five years. At one time I was crazy about him. But by the time we had enough money to marry I knew it would be a mistake 80 I refused him. Since, both of us have com~ pletely lost interest,
We live in a small town * where romances and marriages that break up are discussed by everyone. No doubt . some people have told this girl I still love her husband. She practically ignores me when we're at the same parties and of course we are at the same places lots of times. Could I tell her I don't want her husband or tell him to tell her? It seems so silly for three people to go along and be uncomfortable when it isn’t necessary at all. I'm engaged but my flance is in service so naturally I'm an extra lots of times, I suppose it would be easier if he were around. This matter is getting so serious that I'm being left out of a lot of things, I imagine because people think this girl and I shouldn't be together. UNDESIGNING GIRL.
