Q My wife has made several

“jokes” about my spare tyre.

She says she’s kidding, but

I’m not laughing. What’s my

move? Ronnie

Among the many valuable

services provided by a good wife

is the ability to tell you things that

only somebody who actually cares

about you will say. You’re not

laughing at her jokes because you

know she speaks the truth. You

also know you’re volunteering for

a heart attack. Not funny, I agree.

But it might be useful.

Q My married mate is a big

flirt. What do I say without

sounding self-righteous?

Mark

It’s hard to ask a man to see

himself the way others do.

Especially a man who’s busy

looking at the ladies and not at

himself. But there are ways to

break through. Try a game I call

Ugly Truth, where you each have

to answer the same question

honestly. First ask him, “What’s my

worst habit?” When he’s done

ridiculing your knuckle-cracking,

it ’s his turn to ask. Then, calmly,

you say your piece.

NO BIG

DEAL

NOT A

CHANCE

Went to a strip

club without

telling her

Saw a woman in

a bikini and got

aroused

Creeped on your

ex’s old Facebook

photos

“Liked” an ex’s

bikini pic

Kissed another

woman while

drunk

Paid for an erotic

massage

Sent a flirty text

to a female friend

Called her by

another name

in bed

Didn’t tell her

you were

meeting an ex

Removed your

wedding ring during

a boys’ night

Masturbated to

photos of a woman

she knows

Set up an

account on

Ashley Madison

Swiped a friend

of her s on Tinder

Kissed another

woman while sober

Had sex with a

stranger on a

business trip

Had sex with a

mutual friend

You know that glow that comes from

sinking beers with your crew after 18

holes or a touch footy game? It’s

natural: guys want to hang out after

anything stressful – even a close game

• because it helps us deal with future
  stress. In a study, frazzled male rats
  instinctively cuddled, releasing
  oxytocin, a bonding hormone that
  helps combat stress. This benefit may
  occur in the non-furry human male, too,
  says researcher Liz Kirby. (Don’t worry:
  no cuddling required!) So for the next
  post-game group tipple, tell your wife
  you’re training your brain to beat stress.
