Dear Ann Landers, I do not enjoy his lovemaking. The first time we made love, I was so disappointed that I seriously considered breaking up with him, but his winning ways made me change my mind. I'm trying to convince myself that his personality and fine qualities outweigh his inadequacy in the bedroom, but I'm not hav-ing much success. After all, it's not his fault that he isn't well-endowed. Lately, Bart has been talking about marriage. My family and friends think he's fabulous and tell me how lucky I am. Meanwhile, I find my life becoming more and more entwined with his. People are beginning to think of us as "a couple." I love Bart, and I would really miss him if we should part. But how do I handle this sex thing? He is not fully aware of how I feel, and I don't want to hurt him by saying anything. I'm sure he believes he is a good lover. I've faked enthusiasm to boost his ego. He tries all sorts of variations and tells me how important it is to please me, but nothing seems to help. There's not much he can do about his anatomy. What do you suggest? -A Wisconsin Woman

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , a beautiful apartment, good clothes, one great vacation a year, and I wouldn’t trade places with any married woman. I see them at the office, rushing around like crazy trying to perform their wifely chores during lunch hour. They dash out the door at 4:59 to do the marketing, fix supper, iron shirts, and scrub floors. The married girls in this office look beat and run-down at the heels. They are helping to pay for his boat, or a car, or fishing and hunting gear, not to mention liquor and other odds and ends. And then, of course, there are the in-laws. I could go on and on but by now you have the idea. I wish others would get it, too. Thanks for letting me unload.-Unclaimed Jewel By Choice
