Another spade is played. West

Answer-If you entered into this
marriage Of your own free will and
accord, the best thing you can do is
to put forth every effort to make it
work before you run out on the
situation. You're handicapped by
the gap between your ages, but it is
a handicap which you accepted with
your eyes open.
You actually may have an I'M
workable combination in your mar
riage. I do not know. For that
matter, neither do you after so short
trial. If you walk out on this
problem before you've tried to solve
it, you by no means escape your
troubles completely, for most Of
them go right along with you.
You would be rid of an unwel-
come husband, to be sure, but the
attitudes and attributes within
yourself which helped to make
your marriage a failure would
pursue you into your next rela-
tiOnship. Sooner or later you will
have to grapple with your own
faults or go down to defeat again
and again.
For example, it is exceptionally
childish and silly Of you to object TO
your husbands mention of his first
wife. If you were at all smart you
would listen to what he says about
her and learn. You would get all
the information you could and
shreWdly put two and two together
until you found out what made the
marriage fail Then you would
know what to avoid with your
husband.
No doubt the problems of his first
marriage which he failed to solve
have pursued him into his second
marriage, which bears out my state
ment that the present drags the
weight of the past behind it.
Instead of learning what you
can from your husbands CONVEX
sation and wisely using it for your
own instruction, you simply go
into a pet and feel abused /
imagine your husband has dis
covered that reference to his first
marriage makes you jealous and
that he enjoys his power TO hurt
you, Instead of pulling together
you pull apart, and neither of you
makes a real contribution to the
success of your union.
