    John was pretty spot on with the car problem. Maybe he was the 34 yr old husband.

        I've seen that one before but still get a chuckle out of it.
        Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

          What's the problem people??

          She asked for help and John gave her the best advice possible. Well short of telling her to have the car towed to a garage and letting a mechanic work on it.

            Cars are easier to fix than marriage problems. Cars don't argue, talk back, throw things and you can use a repair manual and then if you can fix it Upull it will give you $35 for it.

              Yeah, the mechanic might have been a cute guy, she could either have a get even affair or maybe gotten a better deal. He would have given her a break on the repair costs...

                Too bad she didn't ask me for advice because I would have told her to kick the husband out. (Disclaimer, I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to cheating spouses).

                    Good thing thoughts don't count (if they don't get found out).

                      Jussi, I am not sure I see the problem. I do believe John answered the question very well with the information he had. It is difficult to break down an automotive problem from description alone.

                          While humorous the desire to avoid the messier problem is understandable. Problems that a few dollars will solve are obviously easier for most of us.

                          Infidelity and serious threats of or actual violence are the things where I think there has to be a separation. When there is not, it seems like the issues just get worse.

                          I think my new son-in-law realizes this but if he ever does something like this to my daughter it will good for him that they are 12 hours away. My daughter will kick his butt out and his three sisters and mother will probably nag him relentlessly. I will be surprised if there is an issue but I've been surprised before (but not in this way). Should my son get married, I would feel the same way about him messing up. Once they admit them messed up, however, they need love and support just like the injured party.

                          Our sunday school teacher announced yesterday that she and her husband have separated due to threats of physical violence. Sad situation for all involved. Hopefully it will work out. They've been in conseling but there are issues you don't have to spend too long with them to understand. Sad.

                            Statistically, women are more likely to cheat:
