Why Men Shouldn’t Write Advice Columns

But I digress (with smiles) …

Dear John,

I hope you can help me.  The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV.  My car stalled, and then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband’s help.  When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes.  He was in our bedroom with the neighbor’s daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor’s daughter is 19.  We have been married for 10 years.  When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted thay had been having an affair for the past six months.  He won’t go to counseling, and I’m afraid I’m a wreck and need advice urgently.  Can you help me please?

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 debris in the fuel line.  If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all ground wires.  If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps.

John

What advice would you give?

Have Fun,

Jim

    Brilliant and why I will and never should be an advice columnist. I would have ignored the car completely.

    It made me laugh out loud. It reminded me of going to a party with Patty and on the way home I would tell her about meeting a guy and what he did and where he worked and where he went to school, etc. And she would say she talked to his wife and when she got her period, and trouble with her mother and problems on the home front, etc. We’re both human but we certainly have different sensitivities …
