of her problems. I told her no
and she acted as if I had hurt
her feelings. For the past two

I am in trouble with the
woman that I am eing. e
have been going together for a
year and I do love her. Perhaps
I should let her know more
often. Th other night she
over heard talking with
another woman about getting
to ther. othing really hap­
pened but I a hoping that
something would. I have never
heated on her but I have been
thinking about it a lot lately.
Anyway now she knows and I
eel real bad and I don't know
what to say to her. I don t
want to make up lies.
