DEAR ABBY: Women are constantly on guard against
the tall, dark, handsome type who-has a reputation for
sweeping a girl off her feet. But who would believe that a
short, fat, 50-year-old, balding. man with dentures could
come so close to ruining my life?

What did he have? Charm! His words were absolute
poetry. He had me believing I was the most desirable
woman on earth. (Ha! I am48, akinny and look every bit
my age.) You guessed it, It worked for him for years bofore
we “discovered” each other. We are both married to
others. . ; ;

What brought me to my senses? One night I heard him
tell his wife on the phone why he wouldn’t be home for
dinner, How convincingly he lied to her! Then I asked
myself, “How can he be so false to her and.true to me?”
And then it ended. .
