Nothing romantic
Dear Ann Landers: I am not
writing for advice. My. wife did
that already. I thought you
might like . to know what
happened to a person you tried
to "help.'
• Several months ago Linda
wrote to you. After 14 years she
was sure our marriage was a
'mistake. Linda 'accused me- of
being married to' my work
instead of to her, She confessed

,she, write to' Ann Landers, So
Linda "wrote to you and you
advised her, to g+et psychiatric
help.' •
- Well,y the .psychiatrist ' helped
her a lot. He also helped himself.
• It seems he was having . some
trouble with his own marriage
and he and Linda had a great
deal in common. I • became
suspicious when he started to
make "house calls" at night.
They closeted, themselves in the
bedroom for hours with the
radio going full blast.
Tonight Linda announced she

He and his wife separated last
week. Your a advice stinks.
