Dr Stoppard deals with letters from the public (mainly women) who have problems within their relationships. I suspect I am not alone when I claim to get a lot of amusement from the problems and the answers, not to take anything away from the seriousness of the problems! However a recent column sent me off into thinking mode. Courtship.............A time when a couple are searching for the key to the toy shop. Marriage..............The time when you get your own key to the toyshop........................................................BUT you partner can change the locks!

I don't know anyone who does those so last year me and my friend made a really over exaggerated one but it hasn't been in that magazine since. Edited by MaxMichael, 3 Dec 2008, 07:49 PM.

There is constantly a complete breakdown in communication where men and women (in relationships), are concerned. But unless both parties read the book you are not going to benefit and I was a football widow. My husband, although a fair dinkum, nice guy, was obsessed and subsequently very negligent to me and our marriage. If it was our Anniversary or Valentines night for example, I would surprise him with gifts and a candle-lit meal. I'd be lucky to get a bunch of weeds from the gas station Go figure

I sometimes used to write in letter form about some issues but it made no real impact so you tend to give up after a while.
