THE PANTAGRAPH, Tuesday, August 13, 1985 DEAR ABBY Man discovers wife married for escape By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I have been married for nearly three years to a very beautiful 23-year-old woman. I am 30. Our marriage hasn't been perfect, but I considered it better than average, with one exception "Betty" has no interest in sex. Once every two or three months is enough for her; then she acts like she's doing me a favor. When I try to discuss it with her, she gets angry.

Despite our differences, I have given her all my devotion and, a very comfortable life with all the material things a woman could want a lovely home, clothes, jewelry and a car of her own. Two weeks ago I discovered that Betty had been seeing a married man. I was shocked and hurt. When I confronted her, she admitted it, and told me she'd never been physically attracted to me; DYSLEXIA From C1, serves, to recapture a wandering mind, and the command, "Look at me," is repeated constantly around the room. Children dutifully repeat letters, letter combinations, and then whole words, write them down and trace them with a finger on a rough board to add touch to the senses brought into play.

"They are trying to get the child to focus in on the word and look at it clearly," Ms. Unruh explains. Dyslexia does not disappear, she says. But with improved concentration and knowledge of the likely mix-ups, students eventually catch most of the mistakes themselves. A low-carbohydrate diet also helps, says one parent, Burneda Chaffins of Garrett.

"Give mine some chocolate and you cope with a monster." Some students advance as many as three or four grades in reading ability in six weeks, Mullins says. Their frustration eased, the children stop "becoming the class clown or getting in trouble all the time," Mrs. Unruh says. "The chips on their shoulders go away." Ruby Jacobs, a Caney Elementary School sixth grade teacher, says that in 21 years of teaching she kept wondering about some of her students. "I'd say, 'You're intelligent, but you're not giving me anything on paper." Then she discovered the problem in her own child.

But with training, Twyla Jacobs, a high school sophomore, lost her "I don't care, I'm dumb, I'm stupid" attitude, her mother says. "She's speaking out, she's very she married me because I had money and she wanted to get out of her parents' home. She says she "loves me" but not in a physical way. Betty doesn't want a divorce. She says she's strongly attracted to the married man and will not give him up.

She insists that she wants to save our marriage, but needs to see her lover twice a week. I find this totally absurd and unacceptable. Abby, is this marriage worth saving? HURTING HUSBAND DEAR HURTING: You didn't have much of a marriage in the first place. By Betty's own admission, she used you. You may qualify for an annulment.

DEAR ABBY: Am I touchy, out of line or overly sensitive to resent it when someone asks, "Is that dress new?" I enjoy being complimented on my clothes, but I bristle when I am asked, "How much did it cost?" I never know what to say, so I foolishly respond as though I were on the witness stand, having sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Am I an oddball to feel that these are impudent questions? And how should such questions be handled? KICKING MYSELF DEAR KICKING: You are no oddball. Quit kicking yourself and have the answer ready. To any question that strikes you as being impudent or out of line, haul out the standard response: "Why do you want to know?" self-assured now. It really works." Psychologist Charles L.

Shedd, who researched dyslexia in the early 1960s at Berea College, Western Kentucky University and later at the University of Alabama, said the "word blindness" first described in the mid-1890s stems from impaired development of perceptual-motor skills. Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a University of Iowa psychiatrist whose research led to founding of the Baltimore-based Orton Dyslexia Society in 1949, cited altered right and left brain development. In 1982, Dr.

Norman Geschwind, a Harvard Medical School neurologist, suggested that the same altered brain anatomy can lead to giftedness in other areas. Some encouraging examples for dyslexic children are Thomas Edison, who was unable at age 19 to spell or write a grammatical sentence; Woodrow Wilson, who was 11 before he learned to read, and Albert Einstein, who was declared a linguistic dullard. Today's children also identify with more contemporary dyslexics, including Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner and former Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller. Rockefeller described struggling with "words that seemed to garble before my eyes" and advised, "Don't accept anyone's verdict that you are lazy, stupid or retarded.

You may very well be smarter than most other children your age." Those are encouraging words for children who have reached that verdict themselves. "I always felt 'God, I'm so When you find out you're not the only person who has the problem it's reassuring," said Kimberley Conley, now a tutor in the Hindman program.
