Dear Walter (or why men dont 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
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 low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps. Walter
