Monika made a comment in the Goodflicks group:
see, i wasn't offended by Bruno's character...let's say there is a guy out there with his personality....the way that people responded to him, as a gay very flamboyant man is what offended me...and im not even g/l/b. but it disgusted me when the congressman (or whatever he was) called him a queer and basically ran for his life... the character was meant to push buttons and take things to an extreme, but the responses he got made me ashamed to be in a country where there is no acceptance...

Have a New Husband by Friday: How to Change His Attitude, Behavior & Communication in 5 Days (Hardcover)
byKevin Leman bookshelves: currently-reading,
first-reads
edit:there are alot of things in this book that could have been put into a whole nother book....if i had bought this, i'd be kinda pissed that i paid money for a book that like 1/2 of it doesnt apply to me at all.....it's meant towards the women who are beaten, violated, used, etc by their husbands in the extremest ways...
edit:i gotta admit, i really like his book. yes, the author is exxagetative and blunt to make a point about men, and calls us girls out, but its all relevant, and its all those little things that we do that overtime build up into bad aspects of a relationship. this book is a refresher on how to be a good partner to each other, how to help each other out, how to respect and listen to each other, and above all, have an amazing time, marriage, and life together. The one thing that annoys me though, is all the "letters" to the author throughout the book. I find them unneccesary especially because the author goes much more into the detail of the story in later paragraphs, or even chapters. Can't wait to see what else there is in the book, and help my relationship get even better!
edit: got this book in last night and began it immediately...and whoa. this author is histerical, and basically putting all the work on the women to change....it's one of those: this is how guys are, deal with it kind of books...yet i couldn't put it down. i was reading things aloud to my husband last night and he was cracking up going "this guy knows what he's talking about" (figures...) i'm definitely going to test out some of these suggestions though, i mean, there's nowhere to go but up, and make my relationship even better than it is..definitely worth reading!!!
edit: still have not recieved
wow. just won this book from goodreads. great timing too! read some reviews and i really think i'll like this book bc what im getting is that it's not just about making him change, its changing together....cant wait to receive it!
