We realised ' finally that we could never really find happiness together and thnt inevitably our relationship would have to endmnlthough I felt tug that I would nova love again in quite the same way.

In the years since. I have known one or two other loves, but some- thing was missing. I wonda-ed M I had lost the capacity for love, if I no longer felt I genuine emotion...

' " I concluded I had bet- ter settle for the reality of wife and home. and let mytdrenm of love remain a .

I let myself be rushed into court- ship and hasty marriage. against my better judgment. and minus my family's pproval - but I was a willing vic ha. I married for all the wrong reasons. It wasn't that I loved or wanted the girl: but I felt that of all the persons I have wronged. I had done her the greatest injustice, Ind I felt sorry for her. Also I wanted to show my family that I intended to lead my own life. and I was tired of what seemed a fruitless search for the "right" girl.

STUPID Mrsrsxn

I knew from the that it was a stupid mistake. that It was wrong. But I decided to try to make the best of it...I even hop- ed it might prove to be a blessing in disguise and grow into a deep abiding love.

We both have tried. but neither of us is honestly happy. There is no "other woman" and we have no special problems. Our relation- ship is simply one of boredom and I wonder if it isn't better to be alone and lonely than to live a lie and detest yourself. My wife has been I good wife in every sense of the word and I don't want to hurt her. for she may real- ly love me (though why she should I don't know.) But I haven't made her happy and I believe she de- serves more than I have given her or can offer her. Just living to- gether isn't enough.

There must be more to life than this; and the only way I can find it is to be in a position to contri- bute something of myself - to give of myself and to want to give. I don't know where that opportunity may be but it certainly isn't to be found in my present circumst- ances. What do you thlnk? I'll be interested in your analysis... C.B.

WlFE'S RESPONSIBLE

DEAR C. 8.: You say you mar- ried for all the wrong reasons. But as I get the picture, you married a girl who loved you--or who was so in t ' d. or wanted you so much. that she was willing, at the time of marriage, to pay any price for the privilege and to take upon herself full responsibility (or

I think you married your wife for reasons of her own. She was the initiator. You were the passive party. and "willing victim" as you say, primarily because you had lost (if indeed you'd ever had) the capacity to care positlvely- for another person. In short, you were relying upon her ardor, her devot- ional iniensity, to compensate for your emotional paralysis, figurat- ively speaking.

Now you are somewhere in mid- dle age, I gather and bothered as the lengthening past seems to be gaining on the future prospect - so that you feel there is too little time left, in which to salvage all that you've missed, en route. In this mood you are trying to take stock, in a blindfolded sort of way. to determine just what your losses have been and how they came about and how you may recoup. HIS AIMS?

It seems you have a hunch that you got off on the wrong road, and thereby forfeited growth towards happiness, when you broke with your first sweetheart. Was the- break induced by your family? In that why you defied the family later, when getting married? Were you determined to show them you'd lead your life your own way? Per- haps your real unconscious deter- mination was to make a mesalli- ance of which they disapproved, to "punish" them as it were, for hav- ing already made a mess of your character (as you felt).

Whatever the inside story. it is my impression that your lacklust- er experience has its roots in your psychological processes, and not in your physical circumstances. You just aren't geared to give of your- self, without stint--and this faulty conditioning is your basic problem. With psychiatric help you might dissolve it-and my advice is to read Dr. Edmund l3ergler's book "The Revolt of the Middle Aged Man" (A.A. Wyn publishers). to
