DEAR ABBY: Six years ago I married a man who left a good wife and two children in Pitts- ourgh to marry me, and he's been punishing me for it since. I was a new widow with a little insurance money, some jcome property and a good job when we met. He had already separated from his wife, so 1 had no part in that, thank heavens.

When he married me he had nothing. I kept working while he just 'looked for work" but no job was good enough for him. I foolishly shared what I had i him, 1 gave him money for alimony, child support, and expensive presents for his children. His main concern was trying to buy their affection and make up to his ex wife for the miserable husband and father he had been. I can't have children because of an operation I had years ago.

My clergyman says he sees no reason for me to slay with him. I hate the thought of divorce, but he's not happy and neither am I. I just feel sorry for htm. What should 1 do?

One lady gave hers to her 5 year old daughter. The child got all her dolls and used my gift generously on all of them. (The mother could have at least waited until I left if. that's all she thought of my gift.) Is this the way it's done now? If so, the obligation of being a hostess isn't so bad, is it?

DEAR ABBY: I would like your opinion about a shower some neighborhood friends gave for me when we moved into our new home.

First- of all, one 'hostess" brought the guest list to me and asked me to address and mail them for her. 1 did as she asked, and also supplied the stumps. Another, "hostess" used one of her tablecloths, and when left she told me I could launder it and drop it off at her house. They even told me to take back the empty ginger ale bottles and gel (he refund. When the shower was over, they all walked out like guests, leaving the cleaning up to me.
