Was reader Tony Levy unfair about ‘her indoors’?

WAS Tony Levy’s letter ‘It’s a losing battle with her indoors!’ supposed to be a funny observation? It wasn’t. Please inform Mr Levy that we have moved on from the 1950s, where he seems to be firmly entrenched. The old ‘men give up their freedom when they get married’ attitude is no longer relevant. I know if I were married to such an ignoramus, I would divorce him in a heartbeat. Then he would have the freedom to eat as many meat pies as he wanted for breakfast. For the record, I have enjoyed a happy marriage for many years. A marriage that my husband and I consider to be a partnership and not a means to make him miserable.

Helen Sartor, Woodford Green, essex. THE (soon-to-be divorced?) Tony Levy will no doubt face a barrage of fiery responses from wives, but not from the thousands of husbands who are too sensible, or terrified, to support him publicly. Mind you, buying meat pies for breakfast was a bit silly!

FURTHER to the amusing and oh-sotrue letter from Tony Levy, surely my wife can’t be the only one who can make a monumental foul-up and then somehow manage to make me believe that it’s my fault.

WHERE did it all go so wrong, Tony? We all have our foibles, and over the years we learn to accommodate and tolerate the annoying bits. Have you not considered that you might be just a very-annoyingon-purpose bloke, Tony, and it’s the only way ‘her indoors’ can keep sane?

TONY, mate, you were spot on and very funny. Got to go — the wife’s coming!
