The "gunnysacker"--He keeps his grudges secret and nurses them along, until a trivial incident provokes his anger and bursts the "gunnysack"--and all the ugliness he's stored up comes pouring out. The "gaslighter"--Her pent-up aggression dribbles out in destructive sniping at her partner. But when he protests, she denies it--and tells him he's nus. The "scapegoater"--He blames her for "indulging" the kids, but he's really furious with her because their sex life is lousy--and with himself because he can't talk about it. The "belt-line faker"--She derails every potential argument with "I can't take it when you yell at me"--and derails the process of intimacy as well. Don't let love die. Fight! But use the rules for "Fair Fighting" set down by bestselling author Dr. George R. Bach. Take insult and injury out of conflict, and you'll win new joy, understanding and growth in a relationship. -and-EVEN IF YOU "LOSE" THE FIGHT, YOU WIN! --as long as you fight fair! You may know couples who wrangle continually, in unproductive, embarrassing ways--in fact, you may be in that kind of relationship yourself--but the answer isn't to stop fighting. The answer is to fight often, to fight hard...and to fight fair! Now Dr. George R. Bach and Peter Wyden have de-fused the bombs which poison battles between intimates, in a book that tells why couples who fight together stay together--if they use the right fight techniques. THE INTIMATE ENEMY explores the rules of the "Fair Fight" through clear, easy-to-understand analyses of over a hundred case histories and actual fights, plus the authors' own skilled observations on couples who either can't fight, or who "go for the jugular" when they do fight. Here are the rules for fair, healthy fights which will promote understanding and intimacy in every relationship! AWARDS: Selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club.
