About the Book

The Bastard on the Couch: 27 Men Try Really Hard to Explain Their Feelings About Love, Loss, Fatherhood, and Freedom

Daniel Jones, the husband of The Bitch in the House editor Cathi Hanauer, has rallied more than two dozen men, ranging in age from twenty-eight to sixty-four, to fill in the other half of the story -- telling the truth about what men desire, need, love, and loathe in their relationships.

From trophy husbands to the recently divorced to those who cheat and lie and want to make sense of it, The Bastard on the Couch is a bold, unprecedented glimpse into the dark corners and glaring truths of modern relationships. Enlightening, straight-talking, and uncensored, this is the book for every woman who wonders, "What is he thinking?" and for every man who asks, "Am I the only one whose wife/girlfriend/partner won't have sex with/stop micro-managing/be nice to me?
