Upon reading that hot tubs, saunas, and lazyboys return men back to their mommy's womb and/or arms...or that when they leave a mess they're displaying "anal regressive behavior" (kinda like pooping in a diaper), my inner struggle began. Should I put this crazy book down in favor of a saner one? Or, were the occasional snorts of laughter the icing on the cake of my man education? After the fifth or sixth snort (coupled with some pretty average writing), the author's credibility got pretty thin. It was only my own anal behavior that kept me turning the pages. Eventually the laughs died down and, in the end, I did get enlightened in the end. What did I get? That men are simultaneously pulled and resistant to deeply attaching to a woman. Now rather than freak out that my guy is like the tide, I can have relax into the cycle. I will also never look at his piles around the house quite the same again.
