"Helpful to know and remember we all have a little crazy. Maybe you (or your spouse) does or does not have male irritability syndrome, but either way, it's helpful to know you're not alone, you're not imagining things or being too dramatic and I like that there are some suggestions to try, and some hope given. Thanks!"

• This book is the first I have read that makes sense, on so many levels. As a wife, I feel like crap for adding to my husband's load - when I prefer to ease it. Hard to ease as unknown entity and here lies an extremely informative and compassionate male life saver. Nothing seemed to help, I just hit a wall. This aggrivated everything. However the mean man took over and Jed Diamond has given me an insight that I was seriously contemplating, yet unknown to me the details. While there has been delivered a good bit of head hanging, the main gift here is hope. Hope for the man I love and hope for me, hope for our marriage of almost forty years. I feel better with this knowledge and understanding, better equiped for daily life. I also intend to suggest this book to all my friends and adult children, my daughter in law will have a step up.
  Thank you for this book, the insight and the tools. I find this book sensible, well written, and thoroughly worth it.
• After countless readings, counseling sessions, fights, a few separations, loneliness, grief, anger, pain, depression, I finally found the key to succeeding in my marriage through this book. It is not a front to back kind of book, since not all aspects necessarily apply to my situation. I was refreshed, empowered, convicted, and liberated. And the tips DO work! I thought I had it really bad and was seriously considering a divorce. Not anymore. I embraced my relationship with my husband and feel grateful now. My approach was wrong all along. This should be a must read for all women that face meanness and anger in their marriage. I always heard and thought that the concept of changing myself in order to provoke change in others was silly and irrational. Basically, because I did not know what and how to change. I felt entitled to a lot simply because I was the wife and compared myself to other wives that apparently had wonderful husbands. Why couldn't I? Well, I do have a wonderful husband that was being undermined and destroyed by my stubborn and frustrated behavior. Society and religion as a whole put a lot of expectations in our heads. And when they do not pan out to be the truth when it comes to our men, we want to demand what is our right. Well, Dr. Diamond brilliantly breaks the code to deciphering more complex males, and it is truly not that complicated.
• Interesting and insightful look into the mind of a man in midlife crisis, the hormonal changes, and clinical depression that drive the emotional withdrawal, mood swings, rage, blame, running away, affairs, and other destructive behavior. Though the man may blame the spouse and marriage as the source of his unhappiness, the book is careful to explain that its really not about either one and how the partner can protect herself from the emotional, verbal, and mental abuse aimed at her. Unfortunately, besides tips for coping skills, the book does not really give much information on how to actually save your relationship when the man refuses to acknowledge he is the one with the problem and exits the marriage determined to find a "better" wife/life.
• Helpful to know and remember we all have a little crazy. Maybe you (or your spouse) does or does not have male irritability syndrome, but either way, it's helpful to know you're not alone, you're not imagining things or being too dramatic and I like that there are some suggestions to try, and some hope given. Thanks!
• This book gave me a lot of insight as to what has transpired between my husband and myself, who separated from me 5 months ago. I wish I had read this when he first left so I would have had a better understanding of WHAT not to do. You gain a lot of hope, positivity, and confidence after you read this book.
• I'm 3/4 of the way through this book. I find it very interesting. It is helpful to understand that a person may have something physical going on with them that causes so much erratic (not errotic) behavior. We are often able to dismiss a woman's craziness to their hormonal state but rarely do we think that a man could be in a hormonal upheaval themselves. I think that the author is very balanced in his approach and empathetic to the female's plight of dealing with their Mr. Mean. I wonder if there isn't a book somewhere called "Mrs. Mean"?
• I was drifting in darkness. Our wonderful,close relationship had changed almost in an instant!
  I had read Jed Diamond's book about Male Menopause 15 years ago,shared it with my husband and
  then put it away. It came back to my mind when "SNAP"! My husband had become so mean and hurtful.
  So I turned to Jed Diamond's website and ordered this book. I am now enlightened,comforted and
  strengthen! It helped tremendously learning I am not the "Target".
  Thank-you for your years of dedicated research Mr. Diamond!!!
• This book has really helped my understanding of what my family and I are going through. It has enhanced all aspects of our lives because we are learning to understand the problems, recognising the triggers and learning how to change the behaviours. A must read for all couples who are experiencing IMS and andropause. I am sure that without this book that i would have lost my relationship with my very special partner. Many thanks
