Stupid Breakups Disconnection for all the wrong reasons Amazon.com Review: Her broad statements like 'the feminist movement has become hostile to heterosexual relationships in general' and her tendency to react to callers in anger may offend, but if you can put aside her ratings-boosting fits of temper, you'll find some solid advice in 10 Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships. While Dr. Laura Schlessinger excels at placing blame, her bluntness can be refreshing, and with chapter titles like 'stupid priorities,' 'stupid egotism,' and 'stupid liaisons,' you know right where she stands on issues like career commitment, perceived selfishness, and extramarital relationships. Much of the book has been created from letters written by listeners of her show. These personal anecdotes are used to illustrate points and provide examples we can all relate to; given their tremendous variety, you're sure to find some that click with you. They make the book an easily absorbed read and provide a welcome break from Schlessinger's angry tirades on premarital sex, addiction, and the general 'stupidity' of the human race. Behind her anger, you'll find suggestions on taking time to really listen to each other, ways to respect each other's needs without catering to selfishness, and a firm belief that relationships are nearly always worth saving. --Jill Lightner Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Every couple should read or listen to Dr. Laura!

Like her other books in this series, this one too skims the surface and snags the low hanging fruit for those poor souls who have no idea who they are, or why they are in a relationship in the first place? Neither Drs Phil nor Laura seems ...
