Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns

Subject: FW: Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns

Dear Walter,

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work

leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't

driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the

car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.

When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom

with the neighbours daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the

neighbours' daughter is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I

confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an

affair for the past six months.

I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was sacked from his

Job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly

depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the

ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counselling and I'm

afraid I can't get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Sheila

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a

variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no

dirt in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on

the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these

approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is

faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps.

Walter.
