Mca Page 12, The Herald, Thursday, November 2, 1978 DearAbby| Fling with Minor A Serious Matter DEAR ABBY: About a year ago my wife seemed to turn frigid, and last week I learned the reason why. She's been having an affair with a friend of our son's! My wife ia 38 and very well built, and this kid is 16 and big for his age. (He was 15 when it started.) He bung around our house a lot, but [ always thought he came over to see our boys, (Wehave three, ages 10, 12 and 16.) It never dawned on me that something was ing on until I saw my wife kissing him goodbye in the yard, Then she said, “I love you.” (I read her lips.) [had a long talk with her and she admitted that she was having an affair with this kid, but she soidshe still “Joyed” me and it was only a harmless little fling. (How “harmless” can itbe if they are having sex?) J told her I didn’t want to see that boy around our house anymore, Should [ tell his parents? What should I do now? We've been married for 18 years. I'm 39 and have never been unfaithful in my life. We had a won- derful marriage until she started fooling around with this kid. Please advise me. © = DEAR CAN'T: You can’t tolerate an extramarltal affair, whether you call it fooling around,” a ‘fling’ or whatever, Nowhere in your letter do you say that your wife has agreed to stop seeing this boy, If she insists on seeing him, you should insist that she get counseling. And remind her that she is contributing to the dellnquency of a minor! DEAR ABBY: Lately I’ve been finding a lot of stuff in my mailbox that has not been sent through the mails. I'm referring to religious tracts, political propaganda, all. kinds of advertisements, and even business cards soliciting business for house repairs, real estate, etc. T don’t want my mailbox cluttered up with all this junk, and I would like to put a stop to it. There ought to be a law against it! CLUTTERED MAILBOX INLE.A. DEAR CLUTTERED: There is! It is illegal to use mailbox for anything except mail for which postage has been paid to the U.S, Postal Service. And to put a stop to it, simply gather all the un- stamped materlal that has been placed in your mailbox, and give it to your postman with your com- plaints and my compliments! . DEAR ABBY: Someone wrote to ask what you would think of a woman who would take a job as a live-in housekeeper for a single man, and you replied, “I couldn't care less. Butif 1 were to give it one moment's thought, I would assume that the housekeeper was KEEPING—not PLAYING—house.” God bless you Abby, for keeping alive the supply of live-in housekeepers for the rectories of celibate clergymen!
