Relationship trouble? Forget therapy and learn to love again ...

Don’t listen to the experts, says Andrew Clover. Sharing your ‘feelings’ with your partner could be the worst thing you ever do, he tells Sue Leonard

A FEW years ago, the journalist and stand-up comic Andrew Clover was arguing with his wife. Following the advice of relationship experts, the couple decided to take a break.

“We ended up at Luton airport at six in the morning,” says Andrew. “Livy was angry because I’d forgotten to print out the tickets, and I was angry because she expected me to stand in the queue while she roved the terminal looking at scarves. We had a huge row, and came home to debts. It made me realise that most love rules were wrong, or easily misinterpreted.”
