Buy "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". I know your initial reaction may be "Poooo". So was mine. It is a very helpful book and it would help almost any situation where the two sexes must relate to each other.

It helped me to understand the need for men needing time alone. It was something that used to hurt me. Woman seek each other out when they hurt and cannot understand a man's need to be alone at this time.

I think this book may be especially helpful in your situation if you feel this is something you really need to do.

Let her read it first ant then you read it too. It doesn't just explain why men act as they do.

And good luck!
