DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I have been married 18 years and have two children--a boy 13, and a girl .9. Until three years ago. I wasn't much for going out nights--maybe three nights a year. My wife handled the money and took care of expenses. She was of a cold nature, never affectionate in those years.

Then I met Mary, a young widow with three children, who was very good to intimately, but in (my wife) had had wonderful times visiting, going to movies, driving--all sorts of things I hadn't done before, as Ellen was never enthusiastic. After five months rny wife met widow and there was scene. I admitted a preference for Mary (my wife always spoke in a yell). Time went on and my wife showed a different attitude. She would 36 nice intermittently; her feelings weren't consistent.

She would nag about the other woman and I would go out again Now He Knows He Loves Wife She turned the children against me; told them I associated with bums and "other women." They bring it up when I argue with their mother. She has talked to neighbors and friends, has seen a priest and a lawyer, and is asking for legal separation--not divorce, due to religion. All her friends advise divorce; they tell her to throw me out. Should I leave, as she wants? Or should I stay? Although I thought I was in love with the widow, I know deep down that I ahvays loved my wife and would do anything for her. Yel, when I am home she goes out with the children, or sits in another room.

Consequently I go- out drinking and return when I know she in bed. There is always hate in her THE GRADUATES' WATCH CHOICE!

The Problem Is Jgrnorance SEAR G.B.: This 15 quite a problem, rn which you are as much sinned against as sinning, it seems It was wrong of you to get volved with the widow; but it was wrong of her to tempt you, as she did deliberately. This I infer from her great alacrity in becoming your social companion. Evidently she has a problem of man-hunger that she doesn't know how to man- you contribution to the problem-l suppose she (and her fnen1st would indignantly spurn the idea that she is at all responsible for tte worsening family situation.

But, as I see the picture, her shortcomings, which age--therefore grabbed at as a temporary make-do As for your wife Ellen's FOR FLOWERS Visit Panama City's FAVORITE SHOP A I Photo Flower Shop 121 W. 5th St. PO S-2453 Deliveries Twice WeeKlv fuel mutual ugliness, consist of ignorance and emotional frigidity --which are her misfortune, as well as yours. However, Ellen's defects, such. as they are, didn't drive you into Mary's camp.

You were susceptible to the widow's address due to dissatisfaction with your showing in life, your sense of missing out on the dreams you had hoped might come true. It was a case of middle age beginning to close in; and you trying to tuin back the clock to young manhood. The widow's enthusiastic bid for your interest and admiration made you feel young again--as if a new start might be possible. Hurt Pride Galls Both Once embarked on the fling, you probably got a bitter sort of kick out of worrying Ellen, who had treated you negligently for years. This was the real beginning of bad will between you, as she struck back by advertising your misconduct.

The hate in her eyes camouflages fear and hurt pride. Her basic desire is to heal the rift, li possible. This is the meaning of her earlier, intermittent struggles to be is, closer, more receptive to you. Ignorance is the real enemy of your happiness--yours and Ellen's. To help yourselves, I suggest you read two books by Dr.
