I've actually come to dislike these books, because I've read a ton of them, and although there's some good advice, my wife uses them as a 'weapon' rather than a 'tool', if that makes sense - ie she'll pick something out and use it in an argument to prove what an a-hole I am. But if I try and do the same, she dismisses it. Which I wouldn't mind, except she never reads these books, but she expects me to (seriously)
It's not that I don't love her, but you know that expression 'two thirds of all the problems in the world would disappear if everyone stayed at home and did nothing'? Well, I've come to believe that 90-odd percent of all problems in male-female relationships would disappear if she would just calm the eff down.
Sigh. I'm actually hoping for some members to tell me happy stories about how their successful coping mechanisms have allowed a long and fruitful union.
