Heart Throbs #9

"I Hated Men" follows a woman named Leila whose initial bitterness toward men is transformed by the love and patience of a man named Doug. After thirty years of marriage, Leila reflects on how Doug's tenderness broke through her hardened heart, allowing her to finally experience happiness and believe that people can change. The story is interrupted by a separate narrative involving a young woman named Vicky and Johnny, where misunderstandings and jealousy (involving a nurse named Muriel Davis and accusations at Johnny's workplace) threaten their relationship, though the couple ultimately reconciles.
