SAANICH PENINSULA AND

GULF

ISLANDS REVIEW

PAGE FIVE

THE JACK SCOTT COLUMN

-Why, bless my soul, if here isn’t
yet another of those do-it-
yourself, home-analysis articles
that seem of late to have been
flowing from the pens of every
psychiatrist.

in this case it is a Dr. J.K.
Thomas who makes the. in-
dubitably valid point that every
marriage has a measure of in-
compatibility (‘When I want to
go out, he wants to stay home; I
like fish, he hates it’’) and offers
his suggestions so that, to quote
the title of the piece, You Can
Learn To Be Compatible .

Naturally, this will ring a bell
with every married girl and boy.
T suppose there’s never been a
match in which the participants
didn’t confront such a problem.

I know a man who has what
amounts to almost a mania for
Chinese food, which his . wife
detests. Another craves to spend
every free moment. under sail
while his first mate becomes
violently ill simply by setting foot
on a deck.

Such are the acorns of
disagreement which may
grow into mighty oaks of hate.

But I can’t go along with Dr.
Thomas that these may be
smoothed away by *‘adjustment”’
which would mean the mar-
tyrdom of sacrifice. No man who
gives up chow mein in the in-
terests of harmony is going to be
a happy husband.

Far better it seems to me, is
the simple acceptance that such
incompatibility is inevitable and
that vou can only learn to live
with it.

The partnership in which [hold
a half interest has had to bridgea
truly formidable schism‘since my
wife and I are divided on no less
an issue than time itself.

I have come to accept the fact

that my wife is going to go .-

through our lives 20 minutes
behind me.

Like W.C. Fields who once
wrote a theatre manager,
“Would you kindly return. to
this address the white gloves
which my wife will leave in
Seat ‘A’, Rew ‘Y¥’ next
Friday,”. | know with utter
certainty that I am deomed
inexorably to wait.

“and”

If I were to say to my
wife today, ‘I want you to be
ready to go out to dinner at
6.30 p.m.on the day of my 63th
birthday’’--that is, giving her
something like a quarter of a
century to prepare for this
grisly event-she would be
ready at 6.50 p.m. And then
she would say. ‘You're
rushing me.”

It is only fair to concede, at
this point, that my. wife’s
defence of this chronic. un-
punctuality is her claim that I
am always 20 minutes early.

One. of. the Supreme |
moments of triumph in her life
is when,-having cajoled and
harrassed her. into an early
departure, we arrive at a
party or concert a full half
hour before anyone else. She
fairly beams with vindication.

This has been going on since
the very day. when we. ex-
changed the vows.

How well I recall that bitterly
coid January. day, standing
around waiting at the church,
eating three ice cream cones
from the nearby confectionery
shop, with the growing conviction
that she’d changed her mind.
True,.she was on time to the
second, but I should have known

years: and years. of. irritably
consulting my wrist watch.
On those three occasions when
she had a pressing engagement in

assumed panic proportions. I was
only by coaxing, brow-beating,
entreaties and threats, that I was
