Product Description
The groundbreaking book that breaks the silence of the male code.
Why do men fall out of love? It’s rarely a simple issue of attraction, sex, or money trouble. In this provocative no-holds-barred guide, Michael French brings unparalleled insight into the male psyche and reveals why so many men feel trapped, unhappy, or unfulfilled, and what women can do about it.
Based on interviews with men from all ages and walks of life this grippingly honest book illustrates why, when it comes to relationships, so many men feel “outgunned and outmatched” by women. Discover:
• The 4 relationship busters that lead couples to flounder and sink–the loss of intimacy / the quest for validation / the perfection impulse / the fading of attraction–and strategies for dealing with them head-on
• Six key reasons why men fall out of love–from issues of identity, power, and fear to stereotypes about who they really are and what they want
• The truth about men and (mis)communication–and ways for them to open up
• Three questions a woman needs to ask a man before she becomes emotionally involved
• The Relationship Audit–how couples can figure out what is driving them apart and find ways to mend their relationship
By finally bringing men’s true feelings to the surface, Michael French offers a dramatic new approach to understanding men and their hidden emotions. This guide illuminates the deeper reasons why men fall out of love and, more important, shows how relationships can be healed.
“An impressive, insightful, and completely accessible view deep into the heart’s of men and their struggle with love.”
–Joel D. Block, Ph.D., author of Naked Intimacy
“Read this brilliant book and untie the knot of life– why does love fade?”
–Susan Braudy, former editor of Ms. Magazine

 Why Men Fall out of Love, 2007-12-28
This was one of the best self help books I have read. I think every women, married or unmarried should read this. It really details how different men are to women. Each true story of a guy and his relationship had something of value to appy to the relationships of others. Written from a guys perspective. For each failed relationship in the book, the author offers ways for a potentially better outcome.

Realistic, insightful and fresh analysis, 2007-05-23
This book combines very helpful, prescriptive advice for any couple about keeping relationships alive and fresh, with lots of insights not found in other self-help books about why men lose the handle on relationships and give up so easily. The problem for men is sometimes deep and systemic and pop culture fixes and cliches are a waste. As a woman I found this fresh analysis void of cliches and instead it hits on important truths. Anyone in relationship denial won't respond well to this book, but those with a curious and rational heart will.

 Hand me a pillow, so I can now comfortably snooze, 2007-05-22
A good sized book? = Yep.
A good sized book filled with endless freudian analysis? = Yep. And Yep.
Stories that could circumcise men. Stories that shatter men into monuments of victims. = Sadly, yep.
In the end, I'll take the pillow over walking the plank. I got the book for free, not a blessing (it turns out).
Want to munch time? Buy it!
Enjoy Freudian, Victim filled, long and overdrawn soap opera cliffhangers? Buy it.
But if that self-help boat seems a bit rotten, search Amazon or elsewhere for something worth the time and money.
Back to my pillow.
Disclaimer: I proudly give this book a star, the poor chap who wrote it deserves some sort of confidence booster...if ever anti-depressants were designed for a market. It would be for this writer.

Excellent insights for keeping love alive, 2007-05-03
What a valuable tool this book is to men and women who discover that the elements that initially attracted them to each other--that caused them to fall in love--are insufficient to sustain their relationship over the long term. The author has managed to get ten sensitive and intelligent men to candidly and fully reveal their innermost selves. We come to understand how the influence of their parents--particularly their mothers--in early childhood, create the needs and desires that lead them to fall in love with the person they have chosen. They are not aware of this at the time, but come to understand it years later as they seek to learn why these needs are no longer satisfied by that person. The analysis after each man's story shows how the understanding of the dynamics of need and attraction presents both the man and his love with the possibility of transforming themselves to adapt to the unfulfilled needs, thus falling back in love and sustaining their relationship. This book offers hope and a path to those struggling to keep their love alive.

Great book for Guys, 2007-05-02
As a middle aged man going through what we middle aged men go through, I found this book very informative, helpful, and insightful. In just about each relationship Mr. French covers there are issues these men faced which resonate with my own struggles in relationship. Since men rarely share there true feelings in this area, this book help me to understand that others have the same struggles I do and reveals insights into directions for solutions. I found the author's commentary helpful as well.
Great book- all men should read it!! CC
