I'm just curious if anyone here has (or how many of you have) actually taken that extra step for your own sakes and the sakes of your partners and tried to learn some experts' advice on conflict resolution and communication and whatnot. They're actually really interesting if you haven't, I recommend trying a few if you have the time.

They're even better as kindling in a survival situation.

I don't think anyone can call themself an expert when it comes to relationships.

Maybe their last name is expert. BTW, I sent my nephew an e-mail about your problem. Still waiting to hear from him. The kid is busy.

I never have...probally should,could use the help I'm Sure..

Total waste of time.

Thanks, my sites a mess right now, I'm working on getting it back up and running, but things don't seem to be working out too good.

I think it's very sad that hardly anyone on here is willing to try to help themselves and their future relationships by reading books on the subject; even if it doesn't work, at least then you'll know. How many people didn't end up with the person they really wanted to, if only because they didn't have the right insight that a book could have provided? You have to admit it's at least worth a try, right?

I read that first Venus and Mars book but for a somewhat petty and stupid reason.

A couple I knew and disliked had read it and made a bunch of notes in the book.

Bad me...I am still sort of ashamed I did it.

I have ,and I found some useful information

I took Psychology in College, it was enough, LOL

I read a book once, I think the title was Women are from Mars and Men have a penis.

Ahh, yes. Reading the words of somebody else to figure out what to do.

That's not "self-help", that's "help".

Chrissy I'm dyin over here!!!

That one is EXCELLENT fuel for a bonfire.

Just the way my sick mind works Sea, you should know that by now.

I know that's what makes it funny though

Why do you think they have any more insight than anyone else? Because they've written a book? Maybe even have a couple of letters after their name? Every one of those books I've leafed through were useless and unreadable.

On the other hand, maybe they should be read by insomniacs. Find some use for them.


Relationship expert is an oxymoron. I'd rather get advice from my parents (they've been married almost 60 years), not some PHD who's working on her third marriage and needs to get published to keep her faculty slot.

Ive read numerous books on human relationships and self help. Ive come to the conclusion that most people are retards!!
