The She gave O'dog the Perel book about two years ago. O'dog agreed with much said. The She never read the book herself. It was one of those, "Here, read this. You fix it. It's all your problem." O'dog is still bitter about it.
Ouch! Sorry to hear that.
FWIW, I can't imagine giving my DH a book like that without reading it myself first...not to mention that if I hadn't read it, he likely would refuse. Before I would expect him to read anything, I'd want to be sure I liked what it said! Dangerous territory, that.
