The best answer to the problem of G.M., presented in the September issue, was submitted by Mrs. Marin Sergeant of South Bend, Indiana, to whom Radio Mirror's check for $25.00 has been sent. Here is this month's prize problem letter which I am asking Radio Mirror readers to help me solve with their letters of advice:
Dear Joan:
My question or problem, is one that arises perhaps due to a sudden lack of interest on my husband's part; or immaturity on mine. Which it is, I can't seem to determine.
My husband is twenty-one years of age which is but two years older than I. We've been married for one year and two months, and with the exception of the past few months it has truly been bliss.
Recently he has shown a lack of interest in our household. I'm not referring to his financial interests. He is a perfect husband and provider in this respect; but it's the smaller things that have previously meant so very much to us. For instance, the fact that the complete apartment had been rearranged solely for his liking and convenience was left unnoticed by_him. And lately after I have spent all day preparing something he especially enjoys, he never remarks about it at all.
It seems as if we are constantly bickering, and Joan, we are both so young and married such a short time for all this to happen.
Perhaps you can offer an explanation plus some advice to me, for his sudden change.
Mrs. H. H.
Now here are other problem letters and the answers which I have given to them.
Dear Joan:
My husband is a civil engineer. We live in an Eastern suburban town, own our beautiful home, have two youngsters of school age, a host of friends and both of our families living nearby.
Recently my husband was offered a large contract out West — a great responsibility with accompanying increase in salary. However, the project would consume about five or six years to complete and would naturally mean our moving out there to his new work.
It would mean transferring our children to a different school with a probable setback. It would mean leaving our friends, and our families — including my aged mother who has not many more years to live. My husband is leaving the decision entirely up to me — saying he will not accept the position if we do not accompany him. He says he wants me to be happy but will he blame me later for losing out on this wonderful opportunity and advancement?
I am a poor adjuster to new people and places and am sure to be wretched for a long, long time.
Mrs. H. S.
Dear Mrs. S.:
From your letter I get the feeling that you're taking a rather gloomy view of this possible move of yours — and I say "yours" because I'm sure you realize that it's unthinkable (Continued on page 69)
