Why does he retreat after the most intimate moments? Why does he seem emotionally absent even when physically present? For decades, women have wrestled with these questions, often blaming themselves or their partners for what feels like an unbridgeable gap. Barbara De Angelis's "Secrets About Men Every Woman Should Know" became a cultural phenomenon not because it revealed shocking truths, but because it finally named what millions of women had been experiencing in silence. The book sold over 3 million copies and earned Oprah's endorsement as "required reading" because it offered something revolutionary: compassion for both genders. Drawing from fifteen years of counseling thousands of couples, De Angelis doesn't just decode men-she illuminates the patterns women unknowingly adopt that sabotage their own happiness. Understanding men begins with understanding ourselves.
