Dear Ann Landers,
Dear Ann Landers,
Your letter sounds as if it were written at the end of a miserable day. Write to me after you've had a good night's sleep-in about four years. 166 TWELVE YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE QoA. cjptaftl me tHe ta accept fjie t&imjpA 3 camiat cRartgc-
Dear rlnn Landers,
My wife and I have been married twelve years. She still undresses at night in the clothes closet with the lights turned off. I mentioned this casually because I didn't want to make an issue of it. She became upset and said I was a sex maniac. That was five years ago, and I haven't brought it up since. We have two children and are happily married. I have no other complaints. If you can tell me why my wife be-haves this way, I will find it easier to accept.-Black Out Dear Black Out: A woman who must hide from her hus- 167 band while undressing (for twelve years yet) has some warped ideas which were undoubtedly drummed into her when she was a child. In an effort to teach their children modesty parents sometimes give the impression that there is something evil about the body. These children grow up ashamed and inhibited. They feel they must hide that which is evil, and darkness is best for hiding.
