By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: ! was
married, at the age of II. to a
boy one year older. Now. after
ten years of marriage, we have
two children. My husband has
never been faithful to me; life
has been just one girl after an
other with him. Now, a young
woman-married, but separated
from her husband-at his place
of business is pregnant by him.
He says that the shock of this
fastest escapade has awakened
him to full sense of his wrong
doing, that if ! see him through
this. he'll never do anything like
it again, and that he finally real
ICES how much I mean to him.
I have been working ever since
our marriage, as my husband
claims he couldn't maintain a
home on his salary, which is, by
the way, quite good. His mother
has cared for our youngsters, and
time off for their births provided
the only break in my employ
ment. All the money I have
earned has gone into the house,
and I have very little for clothes,
etc. Should I, at this point, leave
my husband and raise my family
alone, or try to work out a good
home life with him.
LILLIAN T.
SWER: Undoubtedly a
good deal of your trouble dates
from your meek acceptance of
your husbands contentious that
you must work to supplement his
income. Since he earns a very
good salary, there was no acute
financial reasons for your hold
ing job, the extra money COM
ing in merely served to minimize
your husbands own role as
breadwinner for the family. He
shelved the obligation of being a
faithful husband along with the
responsibility of being sole pro-
wider for his home. Many hus-
bands have this tendency to
shirk the responsibilities of mar
ried life, and if a wife could only
| gauge her mans capacity for
shouldering his marital and
parental obligations, many a
marriage would be saved through
her own adjustment to his weak
ness. When a husband evinces a
| desire to have his wife work,
especially when his earnings are

adequate for the maintenance Of
a home. he is plainly indicating
that he is afraid to shoulder the
burden alone. At this point. a
wise woman, instead of meekly
acquiescing to his demands, and
thereby encouraging his depen-
dence, tries to develop his self
confidence to the point where he
fulfills to the letter all duties of
husband and father.
Since the present crisis in your
home has given your husband
some realization of his short
comings, there is a good chance
of salvaging happiness from the
present wreckage.
Legal aid should be sought to
determine what support. etc.,

alone, precludes the idea that
she would make good wife, and
your present concern is to save
your own home-not wreck it
further. Give up your job, let
your husband assume his place
as head of the family and. by
gradual, tactful insistance, build
up his ego. You have been Shout
dering too many of his burdens.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I have
been married nearly two years
and Sam very much in love with
my husband. He is in the Army
and has been promising to send
for me, but so far he hasn't.
Could it be that he has another
girl near his camp?
DOTTIE.
ANSWER: Don't work your
self into a stew worrying over
contingencies which are proba-
bly, very remote from the truth.
There are many reasons, other
than another woman, why your
husband might not be able to
send for you. Housing is usually
scarce around army bases. and
it is doubtless cheaper for you
to live at home than near your
husband. Visit him at camp to
allay your apprehensions. Dis
cuss the matter with him per-
sonally, rather than relying on
letters, and find out just why he
postpones sending for you. I'm
sure your mind will be relieved
when, you talk to him.
