Problems of husband left surrounded by fools (7)
I believe the answer is:
hassles
'problems' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'husband left surrounded by fools' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'surrounded by' is an insertion indicator.
'fools' becomes 'asses' (ass is a kind of fool).
'l' put into 'asses' is 'assles'.
'h'+'assles'='HASSLES'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for hassles that I've seen before include "Problems" , "Annoys continually" .)
