Annie's Mailbox®, July 11
by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I have been married to "Jack" for 35 years. In the beginning, it was OK and I thought that was good enough.
Jack's parents struggled to support their family, whereas my parents were very well off. Jack has often told people, "I married her for the money." This is a very painful thing to hear, yet he continues to say it and people continue to tell me when he does.
We have two children and he is a wonderful father, but he definitely lacks in the hus ...

Enough already with the methodical never ending slamming of men at every opportunity. After a year or so of reading all the ways that men ruin women's lives, I get it; men are dogs, men can't be trusted, men cheat, men lie and men are addicted to porn. Women on the other hand are the fiber of moral decency that holds a marriage together, they are noble and they suffer in silence, until of course they write a letter to your column. It is painfully obvious that whoever writes Annies's Mailbox is a scorned woman who is using her bully pulpit to wreak revenge on all men who stray from the nest or do not honor their women by going shopping with them. Your bitterness and rancor come through loud and clear, and it's getting old.

It is never a good idea to leave a spouse, even one you have had years of trouble with, in order to marry someone you find is in love with you. You need to work out the divorce. No matter how bad the marriage, you will still go through all the stages of grief over its demise. Then you must live your life without your ex for a while, and without seeing the other man. Once you know you can make it alone, then it is time to start dating him, finding out more about him that he loves you, and that you really will be good together - not just because he is going to rescue you.
I know this from personal experience.
