[i]So..

I can't say that I've not read any "self help" books, but I've not read this one. Has anyone here read it?

I find some of them very useful, but to be honest, I think its almost impossible to sum up a Relationship in one book, whereas there are just to many possibilities of "couples" difference out there.. but needless to say.. lol.. I have ordered it.

Anyone??

I haven't read it but I'd say if it claims to have explained EVERY "couples" difference out there it must have cost a lot to ship such a big book!

[i]Actually.. I dont know about EVERY couples differences.. but it sure as heck tells a women how to deal with a man.. as they are the complicated ones.. according to the book..lol.. or perhaps thats just my take..

However it is no less annoying as all h*ll.. lol

If I read one more post or artical how we have to do it this way.. as to not nerve the man.. or dont do that.. cause that will scare them away.. lol..

Ok .. correct me if im wrong.. but they walk about saying.. "women are impossible to understand".. they have no idea.. LOL..

(...cause men have this silly idea that after terribly oversimplifying our problems they can tell us how to fix them!)

[i]lol

Exactly. I think I will read it anyway. I mean, I could always use a good chuckle..eheheheheh

But in all honesty I am always open to learn more, for my own enlightenment. I Love My Honey, but no relationship is without flaws..

I am a member of a forum board that discusses relationship issues. I have read some of the onLine Coaches advice and regardless that I don't agree with all of the advice, I do believe that it's good to know both sides if that is at all possible.



How do you feel about "one love for life" I believe in it, but I fear that because of the many issues that arise in life, and how two people do not always agree on things, that strain is at times, overwhelming.

One love for life--Absolutely!

However there is one small problem that comes with it--it makes you extremely sensitive to what they think and feel, especially about you! And when we argue, I am so upset to be at odds with my true love...all those reconcilliation skills I learned in kindergarten go right out the window.

By nature I am a calm, relaxed person; quite organized. (My degree is in mathematics... ) Our first argument had me throwing papers down the hall at him. STACKS of papers...birth certificates...That kind of chaos is just not right...lol...such sacrilege...

[i]lmao....

I agree with you as well. I know when I fight with my Sweets, I get quite "one track minded".. All I can think about is fixing it.. lol which is stinky I guess. lol..

I am a sensative person as well.. Extreamely sensative.. hehehe.. Now when we fight I do remember what I was taught in Kindergarten.. and that comes in handy.. lol..

"I know you are but what am I?" LMAO..

I think you can have many loves in your life.. but I also believe there is that ONE!
