GOOD MARRIAGE UNDERMINED BY COUPLE'S BAD SEX LIFE

DEAR ABBY: My wife, "Alana," and I have been married for 14
years. In many ways our marriage is good, but our sex life
is horrible. In my opinion, it has never been good. As time
passes, I feel more and more anger toward her. Alana is
attractive and physically fit; I don't understand her lack
of desire. When the subject of sex comes up, it makes us both
clam up.

I have been thinking of leaving her. We have become more like
best friends than husband and wife. Our two boys would be
crushed if we split. I have not -- and would never consider
-- an affair. What do you think about this?
-- TROUBLED HUSBAND IN MISSOURI

DEAR TROUBLED: Good sex is all about open communication. If
the subject makes you and your wife both clam up, it's no
wonder your sex life has faltered.

Before you and Alana can get on the same wavelength, you
need to understand how each of you defines a good sex life.
The reason sex therapy has become a medical specialty is
that so many couples have the same problems you're experi-
encing. Before deciding to call it quits, ask your doctor
for a referral to a sex therapist.

DEAR ABBY: I am going to be a sophomore in college next
year. I played basketball in high school and was offered a
full scholarship to play at the college I attend now. I
played ball during my freshman year, and I do not want to
do it again next year. My heart is no longer in it.

My biggest fear is letting my parents down. I know having
my education paid for has helped them out, but don't I have
a right to do what makes me happy? Please help me come up
with a way to convince them that I'm making the right
decision.
-- DROPPING THE BALL IN IOWA

DEAR DROPPING THE BALL: Before you make a final decision,
you need to know what penalties there may be for dropping
your athletic scholarship. You should also check to find
out what academic scholarships or loan programs you might
qualify for, and if there are any part-time jobs available
in case your parents are unable to foot the entire bill for
your education. You should also keep in mind that, in a
sense, your athletic scholarship is a job that's getting you
through college, and it doesn't have to be your heart's de-
sire to be a means to an end.


DEAR ABBY: I am writing to thank the schoolteachers, librari-
ans and counselors who were kind to me when I was an at-risk
child.

My mother was mentally ill, my father was absent, and the
school was my haven. I often wish I could tell some of those
adults who helped me along the way that I did make it, that
I turned out OK, and that I'm so grateful for the little and
big ways they intervened in my life.

To all who serve children: Please know that even very small
kindnesses give hope and strength to the child who doesn't
receive them elsewhere.
-- TURNED OUT OK THANKS TO YOU

DEAR TURNED OUT OK: You have written a beautiful letter, one
that could have been written by many students to the educa-
tors and other adults who, by their acts of kindness, made a
positive difference in their lives. If we think back, I sus-
pect that most of us have had at least one. I know I have,
and I, too, am grateful to them.
