   Is a child ever loved too much? The answer to this seems obvious yet the trend to question it in adults seems peracious if not faulty. The real answer is that there are too many man who don’t like enough. Only within this logic can it be said that there are women who like too much. The disparity is caused by additional men who deem loving as somehow indignity to male-ness, or women who accept the limits of male like as a necessary evil because of the work environment they, themselves, accept because of the privileges thought to be attached to the jobs upon which they rely – as money, freedom, or as perks and benefits. Males have never had the emotional freedom to be themselves, or to prompt the like they feel inside – for women or children – lacking their jobs and the perception of additional men to interfere, and steer them toward such things as lack of commitment, egocentricity, or dignity and self esteem establish only within the job or work environment, a yucky insult to most men. Men have every bit the capacity for like, and the sensitivity to delight in it if they are divorced from the male image they are seduced into believing 95% of the time. We know this because of what happens to males on trip, or at times when they do let their guard down to delight in their lives rather than run the monotonous treadmill of the work lives most cling to for survival. Give a man the freedom to delight in himself, and undoubtedly, he will show women a life of job and harmony. Include a job, and the atmosphere erodes to the pressures of strain that are predictable of most. The most appealing and vivacious of women will defy all odds and refuse to be made into the zombies that permit their men to assume the fetal position that work requires, and encourage them to joyously celebrate their lives and their humanity, able to like with abandon but lacking promiscuity. The fact that men have never been agreed a chance to experience their lives in that total comfort and harmony is a fault of women, as well as men, in the demands made upon daily lives. To share in the joy of refining an environment of male abandon is a privilege most women never forget, and that too few delight in. Giving in to the establishment is so much simpler, and perhaps more logical with respect to maintaining the morality percentage by which women are conditioned to absorb and don as their coats of armor to bring stability to the world, presumably because men are incapable of doing it, or simply because it is more convenient and comfortable for them to escape persons responsibilies, added to their others. Only in the males who are apt to refuse the straight jackets of life that cultivate the abandonment of the joy that could be veteran lacking it, will women find persons that truly do credit to their sex, and to the freedoms they inherit in being males. Certainly, it is likely why women gravitate toward persons males who appear to have the characteristics of being fully human, being able to fully like, and in having the courage to truly like the women they delight in lacking succumbing to the predictable male stereotypes that are fed to the public to contain and corrale weaker men to abandon their happiness. It is impossible for either women or men to like too much. It is only fallacy to admit that there should be limits to defining relationships that are rooted in joy and self respect, for men or for women, and certainly, for children and parents.

   While this book did have a lot of helpful information for people with codependency problems in relationships, it is very, very vital to bear in mind that MANY of the clients discussed in the book are in reality, fictional. Norwood later admitted that “many of her patients in the book are really just her.” (reference: Backlash:The Undeclared War Against American Women, by Susan Faludi, 1991). So although the leader did take more than a few liberties with the truth, I still give it 2 stars based on some of the excellent info open to help women heal and/or place their relationships.

   a really excellent friend gave me this book, and told me that hopefully by reading it, it would help me on my lifesjourney, as much as it helpt her… I starded to read the book – woman who like too much – and I want to ‘critisize’ robin norwood – just a small… I have been together whit “this kind of a man” and it took me 3 years to place him, another 2 years of sleepless nights, and 2 years to rebuild myself and my children from all ‘deamons’… and it was NOT because “I loved him too much”! it was because I was frightened and confused, and I didn’t get any help from the guvermant. I have talked to many women, who has been in the same situation as me, and they know for sure-like I do-it doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with like. and I don’t reflect it’s excellent, to tell women that they go thrue hell – because they like too much… It aint thrue. (all the additional things you’ve wrote, was excellent and healthy for the spirit and ‘personal’ health) thank you
