I Ann Landers dear Ann Landers can you stand one More opinion on a second guess in n.y.�?�? in a referring to the woman whose brother in Law inched her Fanny As she walked out of his Home with her husband at her Side and his wife right ahead of him. You said she should have yelled a touch a and embarrassed him in front of everyone. I have better suggestion. Ann just in Case history should repeat itself. When i was a 29-year-old, Well endowed 110-Pound, size-7 redhead i ignored Wolf whistles and took a a passes As the insults they actually Are. My husband a Vic a 10 years older knew i was a straight Arrow wife and that i would never fool around. He was however very insecure and had an Irish temper. He would boil Over if any Man showed an interest in me. He and his assistant ran a big Plant and they cot along Well but vices assistant was a Womanizer Good looking and accustomed to getting what he wanted. Vic and 1 were entertaining a crowd one evening at our Home and i went into the Kitchen to get another tray of canapes. His Wiseguy assistant followed me came from behind and made a Ham handed vulgar pass. 1 put the tray Down and gave him a shot with my Elbow just below the rib Cage. He doubled Over. I said Quot you re Lucky Vic did no to see that. You a have swallowed your i see no need for a woman to Tell her husband and make a Heap of trouble. I believe women should take care of their own problems. No name Cranford . Dear Cranford thanks for the suggestion. P s. Ill bet Wiseguy never got out of line with you again.

Or do they say nothing and quietly hate their wives does criticizing bring a change do they decide to resist cultural standards of weight or do they ignore it and love the other qualities their wives have dear Abby please ask your male readers Abby. In a very interested in what they might have to say a but they Are not the kind of questions you ask some Man sitting in the local fast food restaurant thank you fat but not Happy dear fat but not Happy in answer to your questions not All men Are alike. Some Are embarrassed about the size of their wives sonic Are not a just As some wives with fat husbands will Tell you. Some have affairs but husbands with thin wives also have affairs.
