THE GUNNYSACKER--He keeps his grudges secret and nurses them along until a trivial incident provokds 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 nuts.
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 . . .
If you're in a relationship with one of these intimate enemies--or you use these tactics yourself--best-selling author Dr. George Bach presents sound, proven techniques to take the destructiveness out of your domestic quarrels through 'Fair Fighting.'
'Fair Fighting' reduces insults and injuries and gives exciting new understanding, growth and joy in your relationship.
