> WHY MEN DON'T WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS > > Dear Bob: > 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..
