Why men don't write advice columns for women.

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 neighbour's daughter . I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour's
girl 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 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.
He won't go to counseling 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
debris 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 carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps
Walter.
