Straitlaces
Gay Spouses

By Abigail Van Buren

2 1078 by Chicago Tribune-N.¥. News Synd. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: After reading your column on gay spouses,
I just had to write.

itis a shock and a heartache when a wife finds out that
her husband has had an affair with another woman, but I
cannot comprehend how any woman could accepla MAN as
her competition, She would have to be "meshugga” (crazy)—
and with children in the house yet! '

How can any normal woman Jet a man who has been with
another man touch her? To me, it is unthinkable.

A YIDDISHE MAMA IN EL TORO, CALIF.

DEAR MAMA: To you It is “unthinkable.” But to those
who have studied bisexuality and realize that one’s sexual
preference is rarely a matter of choice, it is understandable.

This is nol an endorsement of infidelity of any kind, but
rather an atlempt to shed some light on one of the most
misunderstood of al! sexual behaviors.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and [ recenty joined a tennis
club. On our first day at the club, I was terribly embarrassed
when my husband, who was wearing dark-colored street
clothes instead of the usual white shorts or pants and white
shirt, was refused admittance on the courts!

A big argument ensued, with my husband loudly proclaim-
ing his right to wear whatever he chose. ;

My husband finally won and was allowed to play tennis in
his street clothes.

Abby, can you for anyone else) explain the reason for
wearing white on tennis courts? And was my husband
wrong to insist on playing in his street clothes?

NAMELESS, PLEASE

DEAR NAMELESS: On joining a club, members should
be famillar with the club rules. If regulation tennis attire ia
required, then your husband was out of line. I have no idea
why white is traditionally worn for tennis, but it certainly
looke better, And it’s cooler.

DEAR ABBY: I have a very dear younger sister who fre-
quently infuriates me by revealing my age! She does this
subtly by telling HER age, then adding that | am nine years
older than she is.

T have asked her not to do this, but either she forgets or
just doesn't respect my right to privacy. : .

She says she is “proud” of her age and I' shouldn't care
who knows mine. What can I do about it?

KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN

DEAR CHICKEN: Nothing, so don't get your tailieathers
up. :

DEAR ABBY: I have attended dinner parties and noticed
that some people turn their wine giasses upside down to in-
dicate that they do not wish to be served any wine.

Is this considered proper etiquette?
