Synopsis
There are many books that promise to help you fix a bad relationship. This groundbreaking bestseller is the first one to help you choose whether you should even try--or if you need to go. Psychotherapist Mira Kirshenbaum draws on years of research and her work with real-life couples to help you make the right decision. She shows you how to diagnose your unique situation with self-analysis and questions like these, which get to the very heart of your problems: * What sins are forgivable and which ones are unpardonable? * Is your partner questioning your opinions to the point where you doubt yourself? * What is your sex life really like, and how important is it? * Is there real love left between you, and how does it stack up against all that you find unlovable? Mira Kirshenbaum provides expert guidelines that are the key to making all your choices, concrete steps that you can implement right now, and the ultimate way to determine your personal bottom line--what you need to be happy. This remarkably insightful and probing guide offers advice that lets you see the truth about your relationship--and with wisdom and compassion, it helps you act with the confidence of knowing that whether you decide to go or stay, you are doing the very best thing., There are many books that promise to help you fix a bad relationship.

    The book matched the description. It arrived earlier than expected.The price was very good because I checked other sellers before purchasing and they price was more expensive. I already had the second book but, needed the first one. It took the seller a few days to send the tracking number after I requested it.I appreciate prompt responses to my purchases. The quality is good and the condition of the book is not to bad it is better than expected.

    I only received disc 2 on initial delivery. Missing disc 1. Seller quickly responded to my email and after a few email exchanges we were able to locate disc 1 still in sellers inventory. Seller quickly sent it out to complete my order. Terrific customer service. I can definitely recommend this seller to all eBay buyers!

    Very insightful book even if you never want to leave

    This book really give some great insight into what goes into a healthy relationship. And of course, aspects of unhealthy relationships. It’s definitely worth a read and I’ve read it several times.

    Great non-self-help self help book

    This kept my attention and I read it all in 3 days. I’m not a reader at all but the content was very useful and relatable. I highly recommend it. It gives you perspective from both sides of the coin too, not just one

    Great book to invest in your relationship

    This book has opened a lot in my mind about what's good and could be better or worse in my relationship. It makes me answer correctly and makes you think about why you answers the way you do. I would recommend it to anyone struggling in thier relationship.
