How the Other
Woman Sees The

‘Other Woman’
By Abigail Van Buren

i 1978 by Chicago Tribune-N.¥. News Sync, Inc.

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago you had some advice in
your column for'a woman who was in love with a married
man, It started out, “Never expect to see him on Sundays or
holidays.” ;

T cul it oul and stuck it in a book, but now I don't
remember which book it was, and il's driving me crazy. (My
husband is a college professor and we have al least 10,000
books in our library!} :

I need that letter to show to my daughter who is in love
with a married man. Can you locate il and print it again,

please?
L.IN NEW HAVEN
DEAR L.: Here it is:

Dear Abby: May I give your readers the benefit of my
very valuable experience? I address this to any woman wh
is “in love” with a married man: .

Never expect to see him on Sundays or holidays.

Never call him at home.

Don't ever expect him to take you out in public, but be
prepared to entertain HIM at your place. He may bring a
bottle or the steaks occasionally, but in actual dollars and
cents you will spend more on him that he'll spend on you,

Never depend on him in times of personal crisis.

Don't believe him when he tells you his wife is a shrew,
cold, homely, too fat for too thin} and she hasn't slept with
him for 10 years.

Don't ever expect his wife to divorce him—even if she
catches him. She knows you are not his firat, and won't be
his last. Also, she is not about to give up her social status,
financial security and retirement income because of you.

However, her discovery will probably terminate his affair
with you, so be prepared to get some new clothes, circulate,
and find another married man whose wile is a shrew, cold,
homely, too fat (or too thin} and hasn't slept with him for 10

years. Sign me...
Hia Wile

DEAR ABBY: I want to thank you for turning me on lo
what I consider the best place for a young man to meet a
nice Seung woman. In church! {

I wrpte to several local churches, asking if they sponsored

any social groups for young adults. The response was amaz:"'
ing. Within a month I had become involved in three different
groups—Lutheran, Methodist and Nazarene—al!
interesting and well-attended.

Now my evenings are filled with a variely of ac-
tivities — potluck dinners, dances, Bible studies, to name a
few. 1 have met several eligible, intelligent and beautiful
young women. (And they're not prudes, either.)

For every lonely man reading this, there are probably Lwo
lonely women wishing they could meet him. Na more singles
bars for me. I've got all 1 can handle now. In case you're
wondering, I'm a 27-year-old physician.

DOC: K.C., MO.

* DEAR DOC: Your prescription will send a lot of people to
church, (Especially those who never had a prayer.) .

Getting married? Whether you want a formal church
wedding or a simple do-your-own-thing ceremony, get
Abby's new booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding.”
Send $1 and a long, stamped (28 conte) self-addressed
envelope to Abby: 152 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif.
