It's funny you should mention the Mars/Venus role reversal. I, being of the female persuasion, gave up reading that book becasue I couldn't identify with any of the female crap. I seemed to identify with the men...
Well, I DO identify with the male role to a certain extent, but so does my W a lot of the time. I think what I may be seeing is that my W has given up trying to communicate with me and it just looks like she is taking the male role of "cave dwelling" a lot of the time. For my part, the fact that my W does not communicate her feelings to me, it causes me to go overboard in trying to get her to (not that I would have responded in a good way before). Anyway, I love the book and there is enough that rings true to me that I will finish it up.
Maybe take a day or two off from the self-help stuff! Read up on Ireland...or places where you'll be going. Sorry for not be able to give you better advice, but I know how you feel. And we're all here for you!
Thank you for the last bit, and I will try to at least diversify somewhat on my reading. There is still more I think I could learn from Mars/Venus and maybe the Feeling Good book Lisa recommended. I don't want to overload on the stuff. I WILL mix in a healthy dose of Ireland reading too. I want to learn at least one Irish song so that if I get stuck in pup in the wee hours of the morn', I will be able to earn my keep with the band...

P.S. Mind is going again. She said she would bring be dinner...probably shouldn't have accepted that offer because now not only am I anxious because the stores are all closed and she's still "shopping" but I'm hungry too. Not a good combination. MUST...get...to...the...pantry....lol.
