There can be nothing more embarrassing than one of your husband’s friends, and a good family friend, witness your man’s weakness for the bottle. Seki, a usually bubbly mother of two is a social friend I enjoy touching base with from time to time. She’s always struck me as a discontent woman in spite of her happy disposition. In one of our usual chin-wags, she let it slip that her husband was a chronic alcoholic. “Better than a wife-batterer, I tried to console her.

I’m currently married to my childhood sweetheart. In the three years we’ve been married, she’s had a couple of miscarriages and is currently undergoing treatment. In the meantime, this girlfriend I met at the beginning of the year is now pregnant. I was shocked.

The above extract from the lyrics of the 1966 hit song “When a man loves a woman” written by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright aptly sums up the kind of power a woman often wields over a man. “What man can pretend to know the riddle of a woman’s mind?” pondered Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, in the classic novel Don Quixote.

I have a serious problem . I’m kind of in love with two different guys. One of the guys is quite a looker, he is absolutely a feast for the eyes. He is exactly my “type.” He always says hello to me when he sees me or stops for a minute, and he’s always smiling at me which I am told he doesn’t do for everybody.
