This book was terrible; I bought it with the best intentions, hoping it would shed light on the different ways men and women think, etc, in hopes of building better relationships, but it was nothing but an excuse book for men and any inappropriate or immature behavior. Basically, it talks about a man and his need for a "cave" and how when the man is in his cave (cave is figurative as well as literal, where it could mean the man basically checks out from his family, doesn't speak to anyone, is in a bad mood, etc and everyone just has to "deal with it"), he should not be bothered at all or put on a time limit to come out of it, he will come out of it on his own time, etc. Can you imagine if a woman did this??? If a woman decided to shirk her family responsibilities, treat everyone like they dislike them, and go into a shell for days on end, they would be labeled as a psycho and a lazy wench, and be totally crucified----there would be no "she just needs her cave" philosophy/attitude towards her. I am all for relationships be give and take, but this book made it sound like the woman should always give and just let the man take, "and that's how a relationship ends up working". Total garbage.
