YOUR PROBLEMS ANSWERED BY CLAUDETTE COLBERT EAR Miss Colbert: I have been married only eight months, but most of that time I have been rather unhappy. You see, my husband has made it a practice to flatter and flirt with every one of my best girl friends. My girl friends are rather surprised; one of them said one day, “I don’t understand it a bit, Jean, because you were always the prettiest and most popular girl in our crowd.” That was an exaggeration, but I always had plenty of dates with nice boys. I have tried not to show my jealousy, but sometimes i could simply die of embarrassment. Is there anything I can do? Jean La F. girl since we were freshmen; she had agreed to marry me last Christmas. We have a great deal in common: We like the same sports, enjoy music, books and dancing. Two weeks ago this girl announced that she was sorry but that she had decided not to be married. She said she still loved me “in my own way,” she explained, and that I had done nothing to hurt her but she wanted to play the field. She said that she had missed the college fun of dating a lot of guys and she felt “walled in.” Can you tell me how to get her back? Miller T. The clue to your husban<rs behavior is contained in the comment of your girl friend. Your husband feels that you are more popular and a more desirable mate than he is. Because of his conviction of inferiority, he goes out of his way to prove how devastating he is with women. You are right in not having shown jealousy. You should devote yourself to him, paying no attention to other men. After the social events in which the two of you participate, you should be lavish in your praise of him; tell him how well he dances and how much everyone likes hitn. Give your husband the security of your admiration and love, and he will stop trying to prove what a Romeo he is. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I would like to know how a girl gets a man to ask her for a second date unless she submits to his wishes. Every time I go out on a date with a boy and refuse his request, he simply never calls again. I’ve talked to other girls and it seems to be a universal problem. Several of us have tried almost everything — going to movies, playing termis, going out in groups, staying out of parked cars, but the truth is that men are not interested unless they can have their own way. They say, “Why don’t you grow up?” At twenty-one. I’m certain that I am fully grown up, taut I haven’t taken leave of my senses. Beulah G. If you could read the desperate, heartbroken letters received by this department from girls who thought they had “grown up” and who have discovered that they were pregnant yet the boy in the case denied all responsibility, you would simply laugh at the next lad who propositions you. I have talked to social workers by the score and all are agreed that the man or boy in the case is a Romeo when he is trying to get his own way; he is innocent of any blame when nature takes its usual course. Don’t be fooled by the wiles of wolves. Remember that it is still the woman who pays. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I am twenty-two and in my third year of college. I have been going with the same One of three things has happened: either your fiancee has met another man, in whom she is interested; her girl friends have persuaded her that she is wrong to marry without a wider study of the field; or she has concluded that your romance has been too placid. If you are wise you will say very little about your broken engagement. You should start to date other girls at once. Apply a bit of patient, indulgent goodhumor to this situation and I believe that the two of you will eventually be able to build a permanent and satisfying marriage. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: My childhood was miserable because of quarreling parents, but now I have met the man who can give me the love I have always craved. Yet, we have some problems. I love children but he hates children. I have always been an active member of the Baptist Church, but he does not believe in organized religion. He loves opera, art exhibits and deep literature; I love simple things like tennis and dancing. Also I love small towns, but he hates them because he says they offer so few cultural advantages. Will our problems be adjusted after marriage because of our intense love? Battena L. I believe that nothing but misery would result from your marriage to this man. In no tvay are the two of you prepared to build the true comradeship which is the only basis for lasting marriage. As years go by, Uvo people held together only by the fever of youth must admit their mistake find resort to divorce, or remain together as hostile strangers. Imagine what your Sundays would be: You would want to go to church, but your husband would refuse to accompany you. When you came home from services, he would have departed for an art exhibit or a symphony. If you lived in the city, you would be yearning for the country, and if you lived in the country your husband would be morose and miserable. Postpone your marriage for at least tivo years. In that time you may find greater spheres of interest — but I doubt it. I think you are two people who have the potentiality of making one another miserable. 4 Claudette Colbert
