Husband’s Reading Problem
Is Not Just His Tired Eyes ~
DEAR ABBY: After four years of
marriage, I found out that my hus-
band can neither read nor write; he
can only sign his name. He admitted
this after he lost his job and I had to
help him fill out some job applica-
tions.
During our courting days, his
inability to read or write never came
up. I was a widow with two children.
He was divorced. He makes a very
good appearance, but has always
had trouble holding down a job.
Now I know why. He is very good at
fooling people. He would ask me to
read everything from menus to in-
structions to him—saying his eyes
were “tired.”
His mother and members of his
family have known all along that he
was illiterate, but they kept it from
me. He has many good qualities, but
I am angry because I didn’t get a
husband, I got a child in a man’s
body! Am I wrong to be mad at his
family for covering up for him?
FOUND OUT TOO LATE
DEAR FOUND OUT: Don’t
place all the blame on your hus-
band's family; he should have
told you himself.
Millions of American adults
are functionally illiterate—una-
ble to read a help-wanted ad or
directions on a bottle of aspirin,
and cannot address an envelope.
Somehow they manage to bluff
their way through, as your hus-
band did.
However, if he really wants to
learn, there are adult basic edu-
cation classes available through
your local public schools. And
many public libraries provide
one-on-one tutoring for adults.
To find out the location of free
programs near you, call or write:
The National Coalition for Lit-
eracy, P.O. Box 81826, Lincoln,
Neb. 68601. Send a long, self-
addressed, stamped envelope.
Its toll-free number is 1-800-
228-8813. The people there can
also tell you how to become a
volunteer tutor. “The only de-
gree you need is the degree of
caring."
DEAR ABBY: After only three
months of marriage, my wife left me
for another man. She refuses to get
counseling to save our marriage. It
looks hopeless, so I may as well
accept her decision.
My question is, What should be
done about our wedding presents?
Should we divide them between us
according to who gave them to us—
all the gifts that came from her
friends and relatives should go to
her, and those that come from my
friends and family should be mine?
Or should we return them all to
the senders? What about the gifts
that have been used? Thank-you
cards have already been sent out for
all of them.
If you print this, you may use my
name I have nothing to hide. Other
wise, sign me ...
STILL IN LOVE
IN MISSOURI
DEAR STILL: The unused wed-
ding gifts should be returned.
Gifts that have been used should
be divided—those from her fami-
ly and friends are hers. Those
from your friends and family
belong to you. I'm sorry you’re
hurting. I wish you happiness
again—and soon.
DEAR ABBY: I am an introvert. 1
cherish my privacy and try to protect
it whenever possible. My sister in-
law is coming to town for 10 days,
and she’s written to tell me—not ask
me, but to tell me—she is going to
sleep on my couch!
Abby, the couch is in the middle of
the living room, and if she sleeps
there she will disrupt my privacy.
She’s a late sleeper, and I have to
get up at 6:30 a m. to bathe, breakfast
and dress for work in the morning.
This sister-in-law lives 2,000 miles
away and I barely know her. I would
not want my best friend sleeping in
the middle of my living room for 10
days—or even overnight!
The cost of a motel is no problem
Her brother (my husband) thinks
this is OK. Am I wrong to resent it?
NO NAME, NO CITY
DEAR NO NAME: Of course
you’re not wrong to resent It. If
you wrote to get my approval to
be resentful, you have it. Get in
touch with her as soon as possi-
ble and don't ask her—tell her
that you’re making motel reser-
vations for her.
