No fairy dust here, but a real chance for healing what Kirshenbaum calls ‘the pain and waste of relationship ambivalence.’”— Minneapolis Star Tribune A few questions focus on signs that you've made up your mind, but just haven't realized it yet: If God give you permission to leave the relationship, would you be relieved? Have you already made a concrete commitment to pursue a course of action or lifestyle that definately excludes your partner? You never do what you say you’re going to do.” This is where the issue of trust comes up in relationships. When people make agreements and then break them, the relationship is not only a place of fighting and deprivation, it’s a place of betrayal. Your relationship is too bad to stay in as long as your answer to any question produced a guideline that said that most people who gave that answer were happy they left and unhappy they stayed.”
A wise, compassionate, and very readable book. It will bless many lives.”—Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People Is having custody more likely, and have you thought through what it’s like to parent kids on your own? Every relationship has its ups and downs. But when problems do arise, so often we can't find the way forward - or worse, we accept those issues as part of daily life. A guideline that says your relationship is too bad to stay in overrules any guidelines that say your relationship is too good to leave.The premise of this book is that trying to weigh the options of leaving or staying in a relationship is a losing game...but it's also what most of us do when we feel uncertain about the relationship we are in. A relationship can feel good one day and bad the next, so it is almost impossible to weigh the good against the bad. When the subject of intimacy comes up between you and your partner, is there generally a battle over what intimacy is and how to get it?
If your partner is making you feel bad about parts of your personality that are important to you and if you start losing self-confidence in those areas, then you’ll be happy to leave. #9. Are You Avoiding Your Partner?
18. Issue: Feeling You Belong Together
Diagnostic question #24. Does your partner do such a good job of conveying the idea that you’re a nut or a jerk or a loser or an idiot about parts of yourself that are important to you that you’ve started to really become demonstrably convinced of it yourself? Whatever was done that caused hurt and betrayal, do you have a sense that the pain and damage has lessened with time? A powerful self-help resource for anyone caught in a web of relationship distress… Excellent.”—Christopher L. Hayes, author of Our Turn: Women Who Triumph in the Face of Divorce She proposes instead a diagnostic approach: that single answer that will tell you if it’s too good to leave or too bad to stay. Diagnostic question #10. Have you gotten to the point, when your partner says something, that you usually feel it’s more likely that he’s lying than that he’s telling the truth?
I can do whatever I want, right?” Your partner’s making unilateral moves: doing what he wants when he wants it by himself without talking to you about it.If my partner didn’t do.................................................................................then I’d feel I’d have to leave the relationship
