I seem to have made a mess of things. I got married to a guy just over six months ago and it is the biggest mistake I have ever made.
We went out together for six months and decided that we were soulmates and couldn't be without each other. He proposed, I accepted and then we had the big white wedding.
Now I cannot stand the man. He is nothing like I thought he was. I do not love him, I don’t even like him anymore. We share zero interests and if I had any choice I would never see or speak to him again.
I spend most of the week away from him at my parents, pretending to help my ill mother. PS: love your column.

THANKS for “loving my column”, but you probably won’t like my advice. I must say that I am stunned by your letter. It is almost venomous in its content. What on earth made you think you could possibly know a man enough after six months to walk down the aisle?
You know what you should do? Get your your sorry butt back home and make an effort to make this marriage work. Try to remember why you married him in the first place and try to remember, if you can, that he has a heart and feelings too.
Stop using your mothers' ill health as a scapegoat,
All relationships take work, sometimes hard work, and marriage is no exception. Marriage, like life, is not a fairytale. It is rare for me to be really angry with a letter writer but you have managed it. How dare you take the institution of marriage and make it into a game. If all else fails, try counselling.

WALK away and let this poor chump find somebody who has some stickability!
