WOMAN INSISTS ON MARRYING MAN WHO DOESN’T LOVE HER

Ending Engagement Is Less Humiliating Than Being An Unwanted Wife

DEAR. MIS SDIX-In two months I'm going to marry I man who does not love me and who is going to marry me only because he feels it is his duty, after taking up four years of my life and keeping me from marrying anybody else. He hasn't told me e doesn't love me. and he is still good to me and as attentive as ever. But I know he has ceased to care for me and looks forward with dread to our wedding. 'll up» are tunes when he doesn't even talk to me. He just gets moody and sitssand stares into space.

‘He tried several times to talk to me about breaking our enga ement, but I just wouldn't listen because I couldn't bear the thought o losing - him.. If it wasn't for the humiliation I would be tempted to run away; but he works in my father's office, all furniture is paid for. and my family is making grand preparations for an elab- orate wedding. What shall I do? A, B. C.

ANSWER-If‘ you have anv regard for your own future happiness or any pity for the man you are dragging to the altar against his will, you will break off this marriage and set your fiance free, even if the wedding cake is already baked.

It may hurt your pride to have to admit that your prospective bridegroom was being forced by circumstances and his own sense of honor to marry you. but it will not be so humiliating to you as to go through years of torture, knowing yourself an unloved wife whose husband has a contempt for her because she forced herself on Off the marriage at thehlast mgrhtdnrtfxliaiihdgtaaaigethisutgostfllig Llxiitlttlebreiifltfig about it will die down in a week or two.

IT CANNOOT BE DONE

Dont delude yourself into thinking that you can win your husband's lore alter marriage. It can't be done. Everything in marriage-the 1955 of personal freedom, the adapting himself to a woman's peculiarities. the enforced companionship, the million sacrifices that the domestic relation- ship involves-tends to separate a man from his wife rather than to draw him to her. So if there was nothing between you that fired his fancy before marriage and made him desire you. you will be still lass attractive to him after marriage.

_Don‘t think you can atone to this man. whom you are virtuall coerc- ing into marrying you, by iavishing your devotion on him. There its noth- lng more repulsive to us than the love we do not want, and nothing so burdensome as to have to keep up a pretense of affection where there is none, nothing so sickening as the kisses that are dust and ashes on our lips. ‘Nor can you satisfy him by making him comfortable. You may feed his body, but his soul will be starving for what you cannot give

‘Face the fact thatif you marry a. man who does not love you, you vial. ruin both of your lives, and let him go. You may be unhappy for a liztle u-hile. but that will pass and you will escape the long vears of misery of knowing you are an unwanted wife.’

WHY ARE SECRETARIES THAT WAY ‘Z

‘ DEAR MISS DIX—Why is it that our husbands‘ secretaries seem to think they own the office, are responsible for the success of the buslnes or profession, and. that a mere wife is an interloper who has no right to put her foot into that sacred sphere or to know what goes on in it? My husband is a physician, and during the lean years in which he was get- ting a start I earned the money on which we lived; if I hadn't we would have starved. My husband appreciates this. I-Ie consults me about all his business affairs, and we are comrades as well as lovers. with no sec- rets between us. Yet when I go to his office, which I do very seldom, his secretary looks at me with an appraising glance that says. “What are YOU doing here?" and when I phone him while he is busy with a patient she freezes me with a reply that chills my blood.

Wh do secretaries assume that a wife knows nothing about her hus- band's usiness and that SHE knows everything? Why don't husbands let their secretaries know that their wives are their real confidantes and that they respect the intelligence and judgment of the women they mar- ried? A lot of us women are tired of being the forgotten woman who is afraid to go into her husband's office.

A PROFESSIONAL MAN'S WIFE.

ANSWER-Maybe the trouble is because all women are possessive and monopolistic and can't stand to have another woman put a, finger in their pies. The wife wants to be all in all to her husband. She isn't satis- fied with being his wife and the mother of his children. making a home for him. and keeping him happy and contented. She wants to feel that she runs his business also and that if he didn't have her advice he would gn bankrupt in his store. or never be able to win a law suit, or perform a successful operation. She wants her husband to depend on her for anything. and for the life of her she can't. help being jealous of the as- sistance any other woman gives him

That's why it burns her up if her husband has a young and prettv girl in his office. and why old Miss Smithers, who is as homely as a m/ud fence and old enough to be hei- husband's mother, gets on her nerva when she assumes proprietary airs on the premises.

And the secretary. being a woman. is possessive also. In fact. she Isn't a good secretary unless she feels that the business is partly hers be- cause she's worked hard to make it a success. She knows its secrets; so in time she begins to feel that the office is her domain in which even the proprietors wife has no right to intrude.

Human nature being what it is, there's no remedy for the situation Unless secretaries will condescend to be a little less haughty and wives more tolerant and understanding.
