Dear Abby,
I am a 60-year-old woman who is married to a man
who acts like he hates me. In public, he pretends he
loves me and talks about how wonderful I am. But in
private, he shakes his finger in my face and calls
me the "B" word. He constantly tells me how ugly
I am without make-up. I‘ve tried everything,
including a face-lift, botox treatments, and a chin
tuck. I even went on a diet and lost 20 pounds.
He quit his job a few years ago after having an
affair with a woman in his office. He hasn‘t even
looked for another job. We haven‘t slept together
since I confronted him about the affair. He denied
it, of course, but everybody knew it. It was
humiliating. I believe he is still messing around.
While we both want to sell this house, we argue
constantly about when to put it on the market. The
house we want will be available in a few months. My
husband wants to put our house on the market now. I
think we should wait a while. He has already
started collecting boxes and packing up his stuff.
Do you think he is planning to leave me?
Signed,
Worried in NY
Dear Worried in NY:
I doubt it. He wants to move back into the White
House as much as you do.
