Dear Ann Landers,
e've been married three years and my wife is a mess. She won't tell me how much weight she has gained, but she must weigh over two hundred pounds. I could tolerate her size if she weren't so lazy. She has every known appliance to make her housework easier, but she's too "tired" to plug in anything. She has never used her sewing machine even though her clothes are all tom at the seams. She irons nothing, not even a handkerchief. Cooking is out of the ques-tion. Her hobby is talking on the telephone and eating candy. Our two-year-old child doesn't get enough fresh air or sun-shine because her mother is too busy to take her outside. My wife has gone to three doctors, and nobody has been able to help her lose weight. Please suggest something.-Had It

Dear Had It,
Usually letters which begin like yours wind up with, "and now I have met a lovely woman." It's a familiar 173 story. When a wife refuses to shape up, the husband often ships out. Your wife is more than lazy, she's sick in the head. A woman who refuses to accept her responsibilities and eats like a pig needs psychiatric help.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
