Complete Love Magazine #190

"Man-Hater!" tells of a young woman whose childhood trauma—witnessing her father's infidelity and her mother's bitter competition with other women—has made her deeply distrustful of men. Despite dating and being courted by several suitors, she sabotages relationships and maintains a hostile attitude toward the opposite sex. When she falls for a man named Russ and he proposes marriage, she initially refuses, fearing commitment; after they argue about her reluctance, she realizes her destructive patterns and appears poised to reconcile with him.
