My response to the man who sent me this article . . .
I loved this article and posted it on the LAA message board. There is one caveat. In Love Addicts Anonymous, the codependent men are too vulnerable. Women are hypocrites this way. I have learned from my clients that they say they want a vulnerable man who expresses his feelings, and then when they get one, they leave him because he is not masculine enough. Men are in a tough spot regarding what women want because they say one thing and then act contrary to that. Having said that, with the RIGHT woman a vulnerable man allows for more emotional intimacy between the couple.
