Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns

[palmettopirate]

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 neighbor's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's
daughter 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. It may be something as simple as water in the gas
which will eventually work its way through the fuel system. You can also try adding fuel injector cleaner to your gas tank. However, you should replace the fuel filter since this is inexpensive and easy. Then check the vacuum hoses on the intake 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 injectors.

I hope this helps.

Walter
