My wife thinks I'm cheating on her -- but I'm not!

She's a war vet with post-traumatic stress, and I'm overseas with the Navy. She found a condom in my old deployment bag ... but it was a joke condom!

    Dial M

    I am appalled at the lack of attention Gary Tennis has paid to mention of physical abuse. While single interactions of that type should not be immediate cause for separation or divorce, it must certainly be made clear that continuance of such behavior will be... and the writer must be willing to follow through. This lack of attention to this fact of physical abuse is rather indicative to me of Mr Tennis' own problems; he repeatedly seem unable to take male writers at face value and in such cases as this, devalues the worth of the individual.

    Now, that said, it is clear the time is nigh for the writer to MURDER his wife. This is the only solution. MURDER has solved any number of worldly problems and we can surely see how the situation would be dramatically improved should this wife be disappeared, or get hit-and-runned down. Rather than a psychotic, loony women jabbering on endlessly about romances the author surely now wishes he HAD pursued, and waiting for the moment to shiv him in the ribs with a plastic fork, he could be footloose and fancy free, dining on herbavore kidneys at a steak-house in Kenya -- bill footed by insurance money dutifully paid out by the guv-ment.
