I’m afraid that, no matter how hard you tried, you might harbor some resentment against this girl for keeping you from following the career of your choice. At twenty, you are too young for marriage, regardless of other considerations, Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I am thirty-eight years old, and have been married only a few months. During all my early years I never became interested enough in any one man to marry. About a year ago, a new man moved to our town. I met him, fell in love with him and married him in seven months time. I knew before I married him that he liked to drink, but now I have discovered that his problem is really serious. He never seems to get drunk, but he likes to have a few drinks after work each day. The men with whom he works call him a prince, and praise him to the skies, but I sometimes wonder if that isn’t because he picks up many of the tabs. Even when he is “under the influence” he is sunny-tempered. He likes to sing, then gets sleepy and likes to nap. He is always kind and loving, never gets rude or foul-mouthed. He will go anywhere I want to go, and in general is easy to live with. But we are not saving any money; we are not getting ahead. It worries me to see every penny spent every week. I worked too long to have any illusions about the steadiness of even the best job. Would I be foolish to divorce this man, simply because I realize he is constitutionally unable to build toward the future? Agnes McN. In dealing with your problem, I believe there are two points to consider. First, it is rather human for us to overlook fifteen or twenty good points of a person’s char, acter and to stress the one or two flaws we find. You have made yourself miserable by dwelling on his one shortcoming, It’s true that his failing is a serious one, but he has many compensating virtues. Tell him how you feel about his drinking. He is not a drunkard, perhaps he will want to curb it a bit to please you. The second thing to realise is that, at your age, you do not adjust as quickly to a new situation as a younger person will. This is also true of your husband. Only a few months is not enough time to give to trying to work out your problems. Perhaps, if you return to your work and make arrangements for allowing your husband to maintain you at present while your salary goes into the bank, you will be able to save your marriage.
