Why men don't write advice columns

I got this not long ago, damn funny. Just to share!

Dear Brian:
> 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 our bedroom with the neighbour lady.
> I
> am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve 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
> counselling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you
> please help?
> Sincerely, Anne
