I bought this book because I wanted to know what married men elsewhere were really going through. Just about every married man I know lies about his married life either out of shame or some perverse pleasure in seeing me make the same mistake. Anyway, this book features 27 tales by 27 different men on their relationships and lives. Apparently, most are prolific writers which explains the highly descriptive (sometimes overly descriptive) and humourous literary styles. It's almost as if you are reading exactly what is going on in their minds... word for word. The tales are interesting but after reading about 20 or so, it might seem repetitive to some. The book picks up toward the end, though. There is not much 'substance' in terms of what a bachelor (or other married men) could learn from all this except some simple truths:
1) Women tend to outearn men these days and men generally don't like it
2) Men are relegated to housework and they generally don't like it
3) Men aren't getting enough sex from their girlfriends/wives and generally don't like it
4) Women want the same rights as men but not the same responsibilities and men generally don't like it
5) Men will soldier on no matter what life throws at them and they like that about themselves
I haven't read, 'The Bitch in the House' which is the predecessor to this book on the same theme except written by women and don't intend to. It's not that I'm not sympathetic to what women are also going through in relationships and life but being a man, I really don't need an additional dose of bitching in my reading material. Overall, I recommend 'The Bastard on the Couch' if you are a guy looking to learn the truth about how other men feel about the stuff they wouldn't ordinarily talk about. Here's a hint: it's not very different from how you feel. Don't expect to put this book down feeling cheerful, though.
