Dear Bel,I have been married for 28 years and, until four years ago, believed that fidelity was an essential part of our marriage. We were no longer passionately in love, but loved each other and were totally supportive. With our three children, we were seen by many as being an ideal, happy family. But four years ago I discovered that the ‘innocent’ relationship my husband had with a family friend was, in fact, a full‑blown affair.

There are times in life when you shake yourself hard, as if wishing to awaken from sleep, only to find that the nightmare is all too present and frighteningly real. So I felt when our representatives in His Majesty's Government, elected MPs in the country we like to call the 'Mother of Parliaments', gave a resounding 'Yes' to making it legal for any woman to pop a pill at any time in a pregnancy – and terminate the baby in her womb. They don't put it that way, of course.

Dear Bel,I feel my whole world has turned into a dystopian nightmare. What prompted me to write was that video made by Dawn French. She put on a babyish, whinging voice to mock the agony Jewish people are going through, and reduced the horrors of October 7, 2023 to ‘a bad thing’. It was so awful it actually made me cry. Every day I see celebrities such as Benedict Cumberbatch signing letters of protest saying Israel has no right to defend itself – and, honestly, it’s intolerable.

Dear Bel,I’ve thought about this problem a lot and never seem to come up with any answers. It’s a very old issue (and I don’t expect you to have an answer) but I find it very hard to get over being hurt by friends, relatives and others. I remember things that happened years ago, such as hearing that a friend had said unpleasant things about me, when I honestly thought she loved me. Then what about the other friend who so kindly relayed the information to me?
