LOL .. wife asking advice from a male....after catching husband with a 16 yr old

What newspaper? Where did you read this? It HAS to be a spoof and a wind-up!

Tom, You gave her the wrong advice. She was not asking about her car. The lady was asking of what to do with her husband sleeping with the 16 year old girl. Depending on what state she lives in, the Gabrielle could have called the police to report that her husband was with a minor. Then she should go talk to the girl's parents about the situation, and explain that didn't have a clue and just found them. If Gabrelle is reading this, then sweetie, he's not worth your time. What if it was your daughter, what you do if someone's husband was sleeping with her? Tom on the other hand should take some psychology classes and know what the readers who are writing about and talk about that not some car.

hi renhard thanks lol lol lol oh my G thanks for the laugh and the smile a typical male answer as he ignored completely what her philandering hubb y had done. oh how funny love it. for myself I do not think I would depend on tom for advice or counseling .

It sounds like Tom didn't read the whole letter since he didn't address anything but the car issue. I think I would have been upset if I got that response! If this guy is supposed to be there for advice, he should be making sure he is providing advice that was requested! Thanks for sharing this.

If this is a joke than it's funny but if if it's serious then I feel very bad for poor Gabrielle.

Did she mail the letter to the right address? It seems to me that the tom she wrote was a service advisor and not a counselor. Perhaps he is a mechanic and applied his expertise on the subject at hand. Either gabrielle sent the letter to the wrong tom or the right tom did not read through the whole letter and read only the first part until the car broke part. It is clear to me based on his advise that he did not paid attention to the almost broken marriage and decided on advising regarding the broken car itself. Perhaps gabrielle needs to send another letter to get her second issue clarified. Mr. Tom is having a one problem solve policy for every letter.

can you say "ducking the issue"? I knew you could...

Obviously the main concern in TOm's mind was the car. I would sweep the husband to the curb and fix the car! I am relatively sure the car will be more serviceable than the man ever was will minimal repair. A 40 year old man that has his way with a 16 year old is no good. And once they have done such a thing there is no telling when it will happen again.

Yes I read the responses first so I know its a joke! and I had a good laugh.

Like that was the thing she was asking help for. I would be upset if that were my letter, but then again, I would know exactly what to do.

It was a JOKE!

One wonders if that that Tom is fit to give any freaking advice. I mean really, which part of the letter did he NOT understand?

Is this real/TRUE? Well, this TOM seemed to ignore Gabrielle's situation with her husband cheating. He didn't even mention anything that has to do with 16 year old girl. In some countries like US, this is against the law to fool around with a minor like that. She is old enough to be his daughter. I would be curious with TOM's reputation as a counselor. Gabrielle could have just seek advice from a female counselor or anybody.

Ha, Ha, Ha! Tom's reply made me laugh so much that I could almost cry. He was apparently out of the line, as if barking at the wrong tree. I believe this is some kind of a spoof or something. Otherwise, this Tom "the adviser" would be suck off his job because he is way, way too far from what is being asked of him. Ha, Ha, Ha Although, this could happen in real life ( I mean not the spoof thing or something). There are factors to consider why an adviser would try to elude some topics for proper advising. First, it's either the adviser is not sure of what to say or does not really know what to say. Second, he is doing it himself/herself that is why he/she is finding it difficult to patch up. Third, he/she is already sleepy while reading the letter and that he/she missed the point. Ha, Ha, Ha

Oh my. tom was more worried about helping her get her car fixed than to help her with what she just walked in on. Sounds so typical, especially these days.

I have a feeling TOM is doing it intentionally. He is not directly answering the question but just taking the analogy of the car breakdown to analyse the problem. When a person is angry, nothing will get in if the truth is spoken. Hence, I tend to agree with TOM in his approach. Did you not say TOM was a great advisor and counsellor?

Haha...talk about selective reading...maybe Tom just read till the part where the car broke down, then his mind shut down after that. OR, maybe Tom knows the husband, and the husband somehow "convinced" Tom to give such an answer. (just a guess, who knows man?)

Sadly she turned to the wrong person to ask advice from. She was not looking to be blamed I don't think but neither did she expect to have the male say it was okay that her husband cheated. I hope she truly understands that this was not the appropriate person to turn to and perhaps will get the help and or out of the marriage or do something instead of tolerate. Thanks for sharing, although it made for a few chuckles sadly Tom was not thinking how this perhaps hurt her some.

It would have been bad if it was a real situation.

whuahahahahaha. after reading it I have two opinions. First, tom wrote back that in a drunken state. a second. tom it was the husband of the woman.
