Dear Ann Landers,
'm a bachelor, forty-two, and have been keeping company for three years with a pleasant but not beautiful widow who is thirty-six. We live in the same apart-ment building. About five nights a week she'd have me in for dinner. (I must say she was a fine cook.) Three times in the last month when the telephone rang she'd pick it up and say, "I'm sorry but you have the wrong number." Once I stood near the phone and I heard a man's voice. After these calls she always seemed flustered. I began to suspect she was having an affair on the sly. I told her so in plain language. She broke down and cried and ordered me to leave-for good. I phoned her twice last week, but she was very distant and unfriendly. I guess I was a little hasty. Please help me fix things up.-Red

Dear Red,
Finding restaurant food a bit expensive? How could this woman be having an affair behind your back when she was feeding your face in her apartment five nights a week? And when would she have time for "wrong numbers"? You were "hasty"? Well, she was slow. She should have given you the air long ago.

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?
