I'LL W
do so for nearly five years. l al.
ways knew that he was attracted
by women but until he met the
woman who is the cause Of my
trouble 1 never took any Of his
affairs seriously.
Wants to Leave
when he met Mrs. - I knf
he had fallen for her, as we s.,
but it was well over two yes
before ! began to be serioty
afraid that she would breakip
our home. Whether she rlly
tried to l don't know, but shield.
Her husband has left her, beuse
Of mine.
Since that happened myus-
band has pestered me to ct a
divorce, which I absolutely sfuse
to do. Since then he has eated
me shamefully and it has lrned
the children against him You
can't keep a situation ~ THIS
quiet. Our friends found Of about
1t and I have had q most.umlll-
ating and heart-breaking ime OF
it. l thought he would )me TO
his senses, but apparetly he
hasn't. He insists that e Is IN
love with this woman, wb, / Tor
got to tell you. is abouUny own
age and not bit glaD'ous or
even good looking.
He wants to marry hi What
can do? He has now 1t home
but he has been clever eSugh TO
tell everyone he had to B some
where else on account offs busi-
ness. He says he will reer live
with me again. and l hoW he
means 1t.
What am l to do? Te chill
dren. who have their prize, want
me TO sell the home an move
away. / don't know how On sup
port myself but the childen tell
me not to worry about that
advise me. -DespeAte."
Can't Hold Him
You have very Understandable
children and were ! in your place
/ would let them advise yol ano
would, II possible, do as the, say.
When a man is in the frame OF
mind your husband is in, there Is
no use reasoning with him be-
cause he doesn't want to be rea-
soned with. 1t seems to me that
you should have let him go when
you first realized the position, al
though l know there are many
women who would figure, as you
did, that he would get over his
infatuation.
don't see the wisdom, how
ever, of acting on that premise
When a man is as easily influenced
by other women as your husband
seems to be, the chances are that
he will fall for" someone else
after he has recovered from the
current attack, SO what have you
to look forward to?
1t is impossible to hold any,
one who wants to go-imposSible
and undignified. If you have been
all wife should be to him and
another woman has won him from
you. be as good a loser as you
can. After all, is he so very much
to lose? Your pride Is hurt, nat
urally. and you are shocked and
torn by the drastic changes this
will make in your life. Other wo-
men have lived through similar
experiences and found peace and
sometimes happiness. Maybe you
will.
You have a great deal to be
thankful for in having children
that love and will care for you
Interest yourself in some sort o
work, even IL you do not need to
try to develop a philosophy tina
will stand you in good stead q
this trying time.
Although you do not sa
whether or not you will diyorc
your husband, / certainly sugge.
that you see a lawyer and q,
some sort Of settlement from hir
which on account Of the childre,
II for no other reason. you hae
perfect right to. In some stats
a woman cannot sell the hoc
without her husbands conset.
Better be clear on such importat
matters.
