Cobra, I read the book by Laura Schlessinger “The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands” last year and just felt more neglected.
I was going to give it to BB but knew that if I did it would not help her or me.
I too agree with another poster choc, it is written from a WOMAN'S POV, Laura Schlessinger's POV and from her experiences with her clients and the men in her life recently (just guessing about the men in her life).
Just imagine a good guy with a good woman, not some jerk with a doormat woman. I think most of Laura Schlessinger's "Proper Care" book ideas work.
Laura Schlessinger tells the readers her book does not apply to relationships where the guy is selfish, abusive, has affairs, or is alcoholic/drugs addict.
So, my opinion is can I be as good as the good guy in her book? How much of the book does not apply because BB and I are different than the ideal models in her book? Even if BB would want to be the good wife in the book, could she physically and mentally? If BB was the good w in the book, would her friends and society support her with today’s politically correct equality for both sexes?
My final opinion of the book. Some good points, wishful thinking, but maybe the deck (societal expectations) is leaning the wrong way.
Read the book but don't let what you think you are missing in your R ruin your life and happiness. Better to work with what you have and improve on that, than to dwell on what you don't have.
Is that a good example of the glass being half-full?
