It’s a jungle out there….

Dear Agony Aunts

We have been invited to a Halloween party at my husband’s parents’ house & frankly it is pretty inconvenient as I was actually planning to leave him the day before & start a new life with my golf coach in Portugal. I know that Bill is really looking forward to the party & I’d like to leave him on a bit of high note but the airline tickets and the hotel are all booked.

Any suggestions?

Dear “Petunia”

We think you need to think about this very carefully. Do you really want to see your husband reduced to a wreck of a man, a hollow shell of self-doubt & misery? If you do (& what wife wouldn’t?) then change the bookings, go to the party & tell him your shipping-out just as the fun begins.

However much the re-booking fees are, they are going to be worth every penny & you’ll be leaving Bill with a very special Hallowe’en memory he will never forget.

Enjoy the party.

Dear Agony Aunts

I have decided that I can no longer bear to live with a husband who has made my life a misery for over 60 years. The final straw came when he drank too much at our diamond wedding anniversary, threw-up over our youngest great-grandson & passed-out in the anniversary cake.

What can I do & where can I turn for help?

Dear “Gran”

60 years? You have left it a bit late to start life anew but, as the old saying goes, “better late than never.” We’d suggest that it is time to let someone else take the strain of supporting your odious husband – pall-bearers come instantly to mind – so perhaps it’s time to let him begin that last, long journey; leaving you to enjoy a last few years of well-earned pleasure.

An accident with medication, staircases or matches always seems to garner the sympathy of all involved without exciting the undue attention of the Coroner & we’ve sent you an e-mail copy of our small pamphlet “Accidents in the home & how to engineer them” which offers many helpful tips & practical suggestions.

Sorted!
