Brotherly Love

. _ By Abigail Van Buren

@ 1978 by Chicago Tribune-N,¥. News Synd. inc.

DEAR ABBY: Six years ago I lent my brother $1,000 _
because he was in a tight spot. (J was married al. the time
and so was he.)I didn't ask him to sign an LOU. Neither did I
ask for interest on my money. .

He promised to pay me back within a year, but never did.

I would have been satisfied if he had paid me a few hundred
dollars at a time just to show good faith, but he ignored the
debt as if he never owed il. In the meantime he bought his
wife'a new car. Now they are buying a boat!

T calied him up ahd reminded him that he should pay his
honest debts before buying luxuries. He replied by saying if
he had known J was that hard up he would have managed to
repay me before this. am not hard up and he knows it. Ilost

. my cool and said, “It's not the money —in fact, you can skip
it; it was worth $1,000 to me to find. out how lacking in
character you are!" ;

Now my brother claims he doesn't owe me anything
because J let him off the hook by a remark I made in anger,

Does he owe me or doesn't he?
BIG-HEARTED SISTER

DEAR SISTER: When you told him he could “skip it,”
you let him off the heok, verbally, But, morally, he still owes
you. ;

DEAR ABBY: How about a repeat. on undessing in the

‘closet? My wife undresses in the closet a 4 always has,

When we make love, it’s lights out and und sheet.
Must I go to a peep show sol won't forget Spat a woman

looks like? .
: POOR ME IN ESTHERVILLE
DEAR POOR: No. Try the beach.

DEAR ABBY: ] recently met a New York man on vaea-
tion, He told me he had Jost his wife three months before..
(I've been a widow for four years.)

We had a lot in common and hit it off immediately. It was
wonderful! For the next two weeks we spent ail our time
together. He asked me to marry him in about a year, I
accepted. ;

Alter I arrived home (Chicago), he came to meet my
married children, They adored him,

My problem: He also has married children, but doesn't
want to tell them about me yet. He says it's “too soon.” |
don’t mind waiting a year to be married, but I think the
longer he wails to tell his children about me, the harder il
will be.

I love him very much, Abby, and am willing to wait a full
year, but his stalling about telling his children bothers me.

What do you think? ;
SECOND TIME AROUND

DEAR SECOND: Don’t be hurt, He knows his children
better than you do, But suggest that if he holds off too long |
in telling them, they'll assume he's marrying a woman he
knows only slightly,

CONFIDENTIAL TO S.A. IN GARDEN CITY: A closed
mouth gathers no feet, .
