That is a bastardization of Peck. Inexcusable in fact. I read the book a long time ago but I'll bet I still have it. I'll review it too. Seems to me that the first line of the book says something like "Life is hard." The ENTIRE book is about maturation in love and life. A mature perspective is not one that says that once the initial romance fades you simply write off the sexual aspect of your M altogether. Mrs. HD needs to find a better source to quote. That take on Peck is CRAP!!
I agree with those that say that what is missing is compromise.
