Dear Ann Landers,
y wife is a great gal and we get along just fine. The only real problem is that Jessie is insanely jealous. I couldn't cheat on Jessie even if I wanted to (which I don't) because she knows where I am every minute, and I am never any place I shouldn't be. The other day I made some harmless remark about a waitress like, "That's what I call a built broad." Jessie blew her stack right there in the restau-rant. Last night it happened again. We were at a party and one of the guests brought her sister from Toledo. All I said was, "That girl should never wear anything but a sweater for two very good reasons." Jessie yanked me into the other room and told me if I didn't stop talking rotten, she would "take steps." Honest, Ann, I am just a fun-loving guy who doesn't mean any harm. If you have any suggestions on how I can get along better with my wife, I'd like to hear them.-Eight Ball

Dear Eight,
There's an old Hebrew expression that might not come off in English, but I think you'll get the idea: "If you don't want to hear a cat yowl, don't step on its tail." It sounds as if you two and the couple in the next letter should stay out of restaurants.

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?
