I told my best friend I was writing a book about relationshipsand she spat wine halfway across the bar.'You can't!' she said. 'You're, you know, divorcedV'Oh my GodV I said. 'I'd completely forgotten.'Not. Look, I admit it. It doesn't make me feel terriblyconfident either when I'm described as 'Sex and RelationshipsExpert. Divorced'.

I'm just your average 37-year-old whohappens to know a lot about relationships on both an academicand personal basis. (And I have to say, out of the two, I'veprobably learnt more from experience and talking to real peoplethan I have from those psychological studies, howeverfascinating they are.)What this book aims to do is answer all the questions peopleask me about relationships, over and over and over again.What's wrong with the billion advice books already out there?Personally, I found most of them either mind-numbinglyboring, tacky and sexist (how to get a woman in bed within 60seconds) or a bit too mung-beany and spiritual. Maybe chanting'ommm' and tinging bells does help, but I've always found
