Description
Almost every woman has uttered 'He just doesn't get it!' in frustration when her partner drives her crazy, or to tears. Now this dramatically different relationship guide reveals the hidden reasons why. HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT! offers simple solutions to the problems women have with the infuriating, confusing, difficult, and absolutely wonderful, men they love. Focusing on fifteen of the most common relationship problems, Ellen Sue Stern supplies the answers, and the unseen motivations underlying men's behaviour. She will astonish you with her on-target descriptions of how you react to his behaviour, and how you unwittingly make things worse. With specific advice on what to do when he takes you for granted, accuses you of acting like his mother, or proclaims 'I need more space', she shows you how to turn things around immediately, even if he 'just doesn't get it!' Ellen Sue Stern gives you the power to dramatically improve your relationship, and feel better about yourself while you're at it.
