I cleaned out his closet instead. Tonight when he came home lie kissed me affectionately and headed right for the bedroom to check on the shorts. They were in his bureau drawer, folded neatly but not ironed! He said nothing but I could see he was disappointed. YouV: put me in a bad spot, Ann. Please give me your frank opin ion. Should a wife who has never ironed her husbands shorts start after 12 years? Kathleen. Dear Kathleen: Well here we go againl There arc all kinds of husbands in this world. Some couldn't care whe ther their shorts are Ironed or not. Others complain if their handkerchiefs aren't lined up just so. In my opinion it is nofunreasanable for a man to want his shorts ironed. If your husband has decided after 12 years that he'd like ironed Shorts then iron 'em. You'll burn up less energy ironing seven pairs of shorts a week than arguing about it. I prom ise, Kathleen, if you begin to iron Lou's shorts he'll stand on his head to please you. Dear Ann: Excuse the looks of this letter, please. I can't see very well.

When we got married he in sisted on a nice honeymoon. He was tapped out but 1 had a few thousand dollars. He talked me into buying a second hand Jag uar.' The third night he got ab solutely plastered on tequilla, ac cused me of making eyes at a piano player and beat me up. He has punched me so many times I've lost count. I wear sun glasses all the time because no sooner am I rid of one mouse than he gives me another. When he's nice there's no one sweeter. I really love him in spite of his faults, which makes it tough. I want to make my marriage work but I'm afraid he'll knock my block off one of these days. Please help me. Trixle.
