The magnet and the needle simile works both ways. If your husband ceases to draw your affection he will only have himself or his misfortune to blame  not you. THE MAGNET AND THE NEEDLE SIMILE WORKS BOTH WAYS IF YOUR HUSBAND CEASES TO DRAW YOUR AFFECTION HE WILL ONLY HAVE HIMSELF OR HIS MISFORTUNE TO BLAME NOT YOU
wn end, that of bringing him back to yourself. You may be perfectly certain that if that aim of your being remains unchanged, and your love continues strong enough to make your methods vitally intelligent, you will eventually draw him away from anything on earth back to the peaceful haven of your tender arms. All this I am saying presupposing that you are “in love” with the man, and the greatest desire of your life is to keep his love in return. But supposing that his actions kill your affection (this, though, is not so likely to happen as that your actions will damp his--because of that hunting instinct in man making him more fickle by nature)--but supposing it does happen that you find yourself utterly disillusioned and disgusted, then all you can aim at is to obtain peace and dignity in your home, and at least merit your husband’s respect, and the respect of all who know you. But this possibility I must leave the discussion of to another letter; it would be a digression in this one. OULD ONLY DEFEAT YOUR OWN END THAT OF BRINGING HIM BACK TO YOURSELF YOU MAY BE PERFECTLY CERTAIN THAT IF THAT AIM OF YOUR BEING REMAINS UNCHANGED AND YOUR LOVE CONTINUES STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR METHODS VICILY INTELLIGENT YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DRAW HIM AWAY FROM ANYTHING ON EARTH BACK TO THE PEACEFUL HAVEN OF YOUR TENDER ARMS ALL THIS I AM SAYING PRESUPPOSING THAT YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH THE MAN AND THE GREATEST DESIRE OF YOUR LIFE IS TO KEEP HIS LOVE IN RETURN BUT SUPPOSING THAT HIS ACTIONS KILL YOUR AFFECTION THIS THOUGH IS NOT SO LIKELY TO HAPPEN AS THAT YOUR ACTION WILL DAMP HIS BECAUSE OF THAT HUNTING INSTINCT IN MAN MAKING HIM MORE FICKLE BY NATURE BUT SUPPOSING IT DOES HAPPEN THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF UTTERLY DISILLUSIONED AND DISGUSTED THEN ALL YOU CAN AIM AT IS TO OBTAIN PEACE AND DIGNITY IN YOUR HOME AND AT LEAST MERIT YOUR HUSBAND'S RESPECT AND THE RESPECT OF ALL WHO KNOW YOU BUT THIS POSSIBILITY I MUST LEAVE THE DISCUSSION OF TO ANOTHER LETTER IT WOULD BE A DIGRESSION IN THIS ONE
