Reader problem. I have ended up in a marriage with someone I don’t love. There was someone I did love but it didn’t work out, the timing was wrong. Anyway, I’ve told my best friend and he thinks its crazy. And we’re you know, best friends since school. And I’ve kind of stopped talking to people about my stuff and starting to plan how I can escape. And my partner is talking about children. Please help!

Thanks Reader. And thank you to the good editors of netribution - who have in their wisdom welcomed me to their virtual podium, their para-psychic portal into the plane of the unplanned and impromptu. the purveyors of pop and pragmatic advice, of people and projects, of products and promotions. It is an honor to join your alloyed ranks - indeed your O.F.F.I.C.E is rank and smells to heaven!

And Reader. You’ve got yourself caught up in what could be described as a Borderline Truman Scenario. You know, this is a concept that scares a lot of people. A Truman scale reading in your diagnosis can effect all sorts of things in life - not least your ability to get and keep long term jobs, and general problems with authority, led from a refusal to acknowledge you are not centre of the universe.

But also at the core of the Truman psychosis, is the inability within the constructed environment of friends, community, wife and work, to engage with true feelings for what did or didn’t work in An Experience of True Love, even if for only 12 hours but enough to make you dedicate your every last heart beat to the person.

Resolving the Truman Scenario Complex may require such complex actions as shifting environments and leaving your current situation behind.

But it also may involve a mental shift. A turn indoors. A watering of the carpet. A painting of the windows. A burning of the milk, no?

You may need to sit in the wigwam of your concentration, surrounded by sufficient quantities of your preferred food and non-human vices and munchie your way through to the root of it, saute through all the illusion and deceit you are living.

And start again the next day, fluorescent. Living completely in tune with what you want and what the universe wants at any one time.

Doing this before you have children will benefit them inexhaustibly.Dr Al Shamoov
