Wife Advocates Broaden

In the July American magazine,
man who has been married for %
years contributes "A Husband
Story" in which he describes, as fol-
lows, a period in which his wife nag
ged him:
I'm her nervous condition she COM
menced to take extreme dislike to my
friends and to demand that L give
them up. | had many friends in the
city many of whom | enjoyed, who
broadened my views and gave me
ideas that were useful. During that
period, if / mentioned the fact that
someone was my friend, my wife in
stantly was prejudiced against that
person AS a result 1 ceased to invite
my friends to our apartment; but
many of them asked us TO attend
little affairs. Several times / half ac-
copied such invitations, and when my
wife refused to go l was compelled
TO withdraw the acceptance. Soon we
found ourselves cut off from any social
drawn within our own circle-which
consisted of four persons, including
the cook. All the while my wife
maintained that l was out having a
good time at my work, while she had
to remain at home with the baby.
ITO avoid wrangling, I assumed an
apologize manner, pretending TO ad-
tradicting her. L strove TO calm and
soothe her by admitting that she was
in the right. This proved perhaps
my most serious blunder One friend.
a doctor specializing in nervous
troubles seriously advised me TO re-
buke her sharply and TO make her
understand. I dreaded giving her the
pain / knew such a course would
cause. II would have been better to
do it then, for she began TO consider
me weak because l yielded 10 her.
and to take advantage of this sup
posed, or perhaps real weakness. So
the habit OF complaining and Of
adopting an accusing manner toward
me grew upon her unconsclously
Il always could divert the argu-
ment by reverting two subjects: the
baby and the home we were 10 have.
We always agreed on these things.
I did not realize than that they were
the only two things in which she really
was interested. and that the proper
