I love him so much and I do want to be loved back. Can you give me any help9 MLNH--Va. Answer: A person shouldn' t judge al l men or women by one who has been unfaithful or by one who has disappointed them. Very often a person who is good for one man or woman wil l not sui t another and v i c e v e r s a . Y o u n g p e o p l e who marry before they are ready to accept the respon sibi l i t ies of marriage and a family are often disi l lusion ed and unable or unwill ing to face up to the hardships that such weddings cause. This results in harsh words ugly scenes and separat ions or divorce. A person should consider well the person he or she intends to marry. Physical at tract ion is not enough for a successful l i fe . Depend ency , t rust , congenial i ty and adaptabil i ty are some of the t h i n g s t h a t o n e s h o u l d b e concerned about. The only way you can give this man assurance and confidence in women once again is to be loyal and t r u s t w o r t h y a n d m o r a l l y good. Louisa. Address your letter to Louisa, P.O.
