threeplusfireThe books she wanted me to read are Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love you Find by Harville Hendrix. I suddenly see where she picked up a good chunk of her preconcieved notions about my life.
For the record, I'm sure childhood experiences and our parents go a long way towards shaping what we are. But I absolutely do not believe that we are fated to seek out people like our parents, and that it is some inviolable law of relationships. That's just absurd. We are more complex than that.
Also, not all single people are single because they are immature. I flipped through these books in the store, and I'm not impressed. I dislike books like this for the most part. I would rather read an academic text ont he nature of communication than perform doofy exercises under someone's supervision for $200/hr.
