Love Elsewhere

DEAR MARY I-IAWORTH: I am a woman in my mid-forties and my k ” thinks the whole trouble is my age! I married in my teens and Burt is 10 years my senior. He is domineering and sel- fish and I let him have his way from the start. He lived exactly as he liked and I built my life around the things I had -- my children and home. . My loneliness started about sev years ago. when my children be- an to leave home. With time on my hands I realized there was absolutely nothing between my husband and me...When I tried to tell him I was lonely and needed companionship, he called this sym- ptomatic of my age. I tried to be- have him...

Around that time 1 met a man who is everything Burt never was and never could be. He is kind and gentle. with a sense of humor lthat makes life seem so much brighter; and. as I know now. has been in love with me from the first--an unselfish devotion. and I

was lucky enough to find it. When I asked Burt for a divorce he was very surprised and for the

arms (though we haven't lived in man and wife for over seven years) he went back to his old routine. His attitude implied that I must have been out of my mind. and that he was the generous husband who overlooked such nonsense. I must say I hated him for that; he gave me a feeling of being lost.

Last week I brought up the sub- ject again. and after acting brok- enhesrted he took the same hate- ful attitude as before, ignoring all I said. How can I make him un- derstand? Why can't he believe I donlt want him any more? He wouldn't really miss me. except as s housekeeper. And if he thinks he's heartbroken. that's just hurl pride...

There is no going back. now that with understanding companionship ...But there is something that puz- zles me--I have a sense of guilt and even shame that I cannot ex- plain. It disturbs and frightens me. Thank you for any explanation you can give me. P.

DEAR P.G.: Your recital is cloudy in one important particular: and maybe you are trying to veil the facts from your own eyes. so that you wont see clearly just how you arrived at your present tangle.

I notice a certain special signi- ficance attaches to spven years ago. It was about that time that you first became lonely, as the children were taking wing, you say. Also. it was approximately then that you first met the other man- and simultaneously realized there was "absolutely nothing" between you and your husband.

But when did you first ask Burt for a divorce? Was it recently? I can't make it out. But according to your story. you and Burt had- not lived as man and wife (except in name only) for over seven years
