An advice column written by a man...


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
gone more than a mile down the road when my 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 the bedroom with a neighbor
lady making mad passionate love to her.


I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years.
When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he went into the
back yard and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but found
her unconscious He'd carried the woman back to our house, laid
her in bed, and began CPR.



When she awoke she immediately began thanking him and kissing him

and he was attempting to break free when I came back. But when I asked

him why neither of them had any clothes on, he broke down and admitted

that he'd been having an affair for the past six months.

I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go 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. I don't
feel I can get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Mrs.. Sheila Usk





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 debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee
clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of
these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump
itself is faulty, causing poor delivery to the carburetor
float bowl.

I hope this helps.

Walter
