Why men shouldn't write advice columns
Posted: February 25th, 2008, 5:54 pmDear Ted,
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
female neighbour 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
resuscitation. 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,
Susie Fox
Dear Susie,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a
variety of faults. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel
line. If it is clear, check the clips holding the vacuum lines onto the
inlet manifold for air leaks. If none of these approaches solves the
problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low
delivery pressure to the carburettor flow at chamber . I hope this
helps. Ted
