There is also the classics about "my man won't give me birthday presents/wants to have a threesome with me and my best friend/isn't willing to talk things through" etc. and the answer always ends with "Perhaps you should give him a BJ and fix him a good dinner" Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Oh dear.. Too many jokes can be inserted here..

Why do I get the feeling she was consulting a mechanic for advice regarding a family crisis rather than repairing her vehicle? XD

Three very odd things that this letter reminds me of:
1) One of my favourite novels, Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West is actually about a male agony aunt. He doesn't function well in his job, but not just because he does shit like this. It's because he's too empathetic in a world where nobody cares. He wants to be Christ, but doesn't seem to realise that nobody would care if he actually did get crucified.
2) There was a rumour about Miriam Stoppard doing something very similar in her advice column. http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/miriam.asp
3) Chris-Chan does more or less the exact same thing in his mailbags. As usual, link not safe for either work or mental health.
