Is It You or Is It Me? - Why Couples Play the Blame Game

Anger, anxiety, frustration, disappointment, self-doubt, and other uncomfortable emotions can often turn love into a battle over who's right, who's wrong, who's winning, or who's losing. Instead of recognizing these feelings within themselves, loversturn these feelings outward and blame their partner, turning their lover into an adversary. In Is It You or Is It Me, Dr. Scott Wetzler and Diane cole show readers how to avoid the "inside-out" dynamic and develop healthy, loving relationships. Written in a lively and provacative way, this book shows readers how tolearn to tolerate the uncomfortable emotions that intimacy and romance inevitably arouse and own up to how they feel inside, instead of placing blame outward. And, most important, it helps readers know how to distinguish when blamereally does exist "out there" and when responsibility resides within.
