Dear Ann Landers,
thirty-six. Background: Mar-ried twice. First marriage to a man twice my age. (I was sixteen.) My mother pushed me into it because she thought he was rich. I said OK because I thought he was kind. We were both wrong. The third time he broke my nose, I divorced him. My second marriage lasted two years. My husband drank vodka martinis for breakfast with beer chasers. He worked for the city and had a fatal accident at work. I'm sure he was smashed on the job, but they paid off nicely, and I got a generous settlement. I bought a small cafe three years ago and have been doing very well. The problem: A nineteen-year-old applied for a job four months ago, and I hired him. He is handsome, hard-working, and I think we are in love. He is very grown-up for his age and looks a lot older than he is. The Army wouldn't take him because he has a steel plate in his head. He wants to marry me. What do you think?-Angie

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, we send the victim to the hospital for treatment and call in the police. Most of the time, the rapist gets additional time added to his regular sentence. Movies do not give you the real picture. Rape, no matter where it occurs, is hideous and dehumanizing. When members of the same sex are housed together for long periods of time, rape will occur. The sex drive doesn’t turn itself off when a person goes to prison. In prison, we obtain warrants if there is a complaint. Sometimes, the victims refuse to prosecute. When that is the case, we can do nothing. -St. Louis
