The Shut-Out Wife: Breaking Through Your Husband’s Midlife Crisis

Description

The Shut-Out Wife: Breaking Through Your Husband’s Midlife CrisisIt is an unhappy phenomenon. A once loving husband turns cold and inaccessible. His attitude, behavior and choices—from self-focus and new female “friendships” to confusion and mixed messages, and even waning commitment to the marriage—create a divide between him and his wife, making her feel “shut out” of his life and locked out of her own marriage. In such instances, it is too easy and too common for a woman to get caught up in her husband’s passing midlife storm, one that can end up costing both of them the happy security of their marriage in their later years.Enter Debra Macleod’s The Shut-Out Wife. Drawing on her background as a couples mediator, relationship and intimacy author, “Fair, but Aware” approach, and twenty years’ experience working with couples, Debra Macleod, B.A., J.D., offers shut-out wives a plainspoken, practical guide to help them manage and outsmart their husband’s midlife crisis, break through his cold front, and bring both warmth and dignity back to their lives and marriages.
