Dear Abby

mm

DEAR ABBY: Ifa doctor is not stable in his personal life, would you lose confidence in him as a physician?

I think my doctor is the best for mites around, but now that he is in the process of getting his fourth divorce, I wonder if it’s possible for his judgement to be sobad in one department but not inanother.

His first wife was a fine, attractive woman. He simply tired of her and found a new love. It was the same story with the other three. He made generous — settlements on ali of them. ;

How would you feel, Abby? Would you still have

confidence in him as a doctor? WONDERING IN TEXAS

DEAR WONDERING: I know It's possible for some people to be brilliant in their own fields, but inept, inexperienced and hopelessly naive in other matters. Personally, as long as my physician provides me with competent professional care, how he handles his personal life is hiw own business.

DEAR ABBY: [ am 42 and very much in love witha beautiful, 27-year-old model. Her divorce (for which I am paying) is now pending. She has three children.

I bought her a new car, and have spent more than $15,000 on clothes for her and her children in the last six months. She says she loves me, but [ don't see much of her. I see her only on Monday nights because on Tuesdays she sees an old boyfriend she says she has to “let down easy.” On Wednesday night she goes out with her boss. On Thursday night she goes out with the girls, on Friday night she stays home and does her laundry, and she lets her husband come over on weekends because he misses the kids.

My friends say ] am being taken for a ride. Am 1?

SAMMY IN MIAMI

DEAR SAMMY: Not only are you being taken for a ride, you'll be lucky if you aren't killed in the traffic.

DEAR ABBY: My conscience is bothering me and | have other problems, tco. I'm a 15-year-old who everybody thinks is a ‘‘very nice girl,” But I'm not as nice as they think.

Myt girlfriend and I went to a movie one Saturday and let ourselves be picked up by a couple of guys. They had a car so we went for a ride afterwards, We parked and made out (only light necking—nothing Serious). We really aren’t pickups and don't know what made us act like that.

Well, I've seen this guy a couple of times on the sneak since then, but he never wants to come in and meet my parents. All he ever wants is to park and make out. I really like him, Abby. How can I make this a respec- table relationship? [ feel ashamed and dirty.

AIRES

DEAR AIRES: Even nice girls sometimes act on an impulse, so don't be so quick to put yourself down. You can make your relationship respectable by telling the boy that you (a) are through sneaking around to meet him, (b) insisting that he meet your parents, If he doesn’t agree, lose him. He's only interested in using you,
