Marriage Counseling - Divorce Checklist - Relationship Questionnaire - Infidelity

Reviews
"I read and re-read this book when I was unfortunately involved with a guy who was supposedly weeks away from finalizing his divorce. They had been separated for several years and she wasn't contesting the divorce, but he dragged the situation out for an entire year and put me through hell and then ended up getting back together with his wife. And until I read this book, I actually thought I was the only person who had endured something like that. While I was reading it the first time, I remember thinking, what did these people do? Look through my windows? It was such a relief to find out that I wasn't crazy and that every man who puts someone through this hell goes about it exactly the same way. I only wish I had read it a year sooner and saved myself a year of agony. Anybody who has gotten involved with someone who is separated or in the process of divorcing needs to read this book. Honestly, you'll think the authors have been looking in your windows, because you will see yourself on every page."

"I gave the book four stars becaue it was helpful for me. I did however have to put the book down more than once because it freaked me out. I started reading the book to late into my relationship and things had progressed further than "the plan". I almost lossed the best things that has happened to me because I tried to catch up with the book. Just remember that every relationship is different, and not all can be covered by one book. Go with your gut girls! Just remeber you can't fix all of his problems with the ex, so don't even try. "

"This book has saved my sanity! It has also helped me realize that my situation is not hopeless and has given me a better perspective. I could find a little of myself in so many of the stories told in the book, but most importantly I feel validated in my feelings and a lot of my actions. I sincerely thank the authors for writing this book. I'm glad I didn't wait to buy it. If you're even considering buying this book, then that means you REALLY need to."

"This book was just the thing I needed. Although my current experience doesn't mirror many of the examples (i.e. she left him, I'm not ready to meet the kids, it hasn't become overly physical, he's been great...), it put the situation into such perspective. There can be a middle ground as long as you don't lose sight of taking care of yourself in the process. And it was so helpful to be reminded to get out of the "how the relationship should look" mindset. It has definitely helped me to remain calm while we figure things out."
