Men Who Hate Women & the Women Who Love Them

Does the man you love assume the right to control  how you live and behave? Have you given  up important activities or people to keep him  happy? Is he extremely jealous and  possessive? Does he switch from charm to anger without  warning? Does he belittle your opinions,  your feelings, or your accomplishments?  Does he withdraw love, money, approval, or sex to  punish you? Does he blame you for  everything that goes wrong in the relationship? Do  you find yourself "walking on eggshells"  and apologizing all the time? If the  questions here reveal a familiar pattern, you may be  in love with a misogynist -- a man who loves you,  yet causes you tremendous pain because he acts as  if he hates you. In this superb self-help  guide, Dr. Susan Forward draws on case histories  and the voices of men ad women trapped in these  relationships to help you understand you man's  destructive pattern, the part you play in it, how to  break the pattern, heal the hurt, regain your  self-respect, and either rebuild your relationship or  find the courage to love a truly loving man.From the Paperback edition.
