We are friends with another cou- ple also seniors and also prosperous. We four often socialize. He no longer drives and my husband always offers our car. Here is the problem: This couple seems reluc- tant to share in parking fees and my husband is forever opening his wallet. I cannot count the times when he has paid with the other couple never offering to. The bottom line is that they are frugal and my husband is reluctant to ask for money. It would be nice if this other couple would occasionally offer to pick up the tab. We had words over it. I being tired of being taken advantage of and he, not willing to upset the status quo. Our friends are oth- erwise wonderful. We would certainly hate to cause hard feelings and lose their friendship. What would you do? —Upset DEAR UPSET » I will inflate this issue for effect, and suggest that you ponder this: After your friends are gone, will you and your husband kick your- selves for being generous? Will you think, "Ugh; we sure wish we'd gotten those parking fees ..." Your choices are simple: You either ask in a respectful way, "Hey — can you pick up the parking fee?" or you revel in your freedom to drive, and feel good about your choice to be generous. DEAR AMY » Three years ago, I moved with my husband fr om the st ate I grew up in, so he could pursue a new career. He has been doing wonderfully in his new job, and he couldn't be happier. I, on the other hand, have taken a back seat. Despite trying to make it work, I have become unhappy. I asked that he be will- ing to move back in three years, but he refuses. He says that I should move back. He would rather divorce than move. I understand he's happier than he's ever been, but isn't marriage supposed to be about compromise? I can't even begin to know how to make this decision. Either I stay and remain unhappy, or we divorce and I move back. I love my husband. I would appreciate your impartial advice. — No Good Choices DEAR NO GOOD CHOICES » You are correct. Marriage is about compromise. The kindest response from your husband would have been to open up a discus- sion. On the one hand, if you have a definite plan to move back home, it mig ht decr ease y our incentive to try to make things work. On the other hand, you have already made an investment of three years of your life. If it's possible, you might do better if you plan an annual visit home. This might be a salve for homesickness. I hope you and your husband can work to- gether to see this through. If not, a trial separation might help clarify your choices.
