However, these authors make it pretty clear who is what, and why. In chapter 5, we get a look at the sneaky ways takers get what they want. "Giver resentment is easier to spot than taker guilt" (p.106). There is nothing more frustrating than a double bind, for there is no resolution that would please one's partner" (107
