Title does not reflect the content

Although these relationship narratives and explanations of the origins of difficulties in relationships are helpful for insight and reflection, the issue of a broken heart (the sadness, grief, and longing that go along with the feelings of brokenness are not addressed. If the point is helping through this difficult and painful transition, then exactly those issues should be addressed and how to cope with grief. It also would help to have guidance as to how to transition into living alone.

ONLY read if you are 1000% sure it's over

This book is for people who absolutely do not want to be w/ their ex again. This book preaches that every relationship that ends is supposed to end forever. It can be disheartening for people who are simply on a break and the relationship still has some life and can reconcile. So if you completely want to move on to another person - sure read this.

Narrator sounds so nasally and whiny.

it was so annoyingly repetitive. seriously giving the same examples over and over and over again in different ways without a single pause. just filler bs. worst was that the narrator was pretending to be that person complaining so you literally were listening to her whine in different ways over and over again. unbearable

Bored to Tears

Suffered thru this read. The voice had no real emotion and just droned on and on. There might have been some substance, but I couldn’t focus because of the speaker. And there were many parts that were duplicated. Waste of time.

Didn’t really help me.

I frequently found myself thinking what the hell? This book basically just tells you that your relationship is over and to not waste your time trying to work on it.

what a wonderful divorce guide!

having gone through a divorce and read many other books at the time, I think this book is a kind guide to understand what happens. The author has a real sense of what needs to happen and being in the last stages of the grief I found it compelling and refreshing.

HEELING

This book made everything make sense. Great read, heeling book, a must read post breakups.

If you do the work, this book will help you

First, let me say that this book is written to address, traditional, male, female relationships. If you are in that type of relationship and you either suspect it is ending, or it has already ended, reading this book will help you. It is very straight forward, and includes some not so easy to listen to truths. The biggest of those is, relationships do not last forever. So eventually, you are going to have to go through a break up. With the help of this book, you can come to see that even a break up that you didn’t want, Ken be good for you. I strongly suggest doing the exercises, although most people probably won’t. It is very time consuming, and it brings up a lot of emotional issues. However, I assure you that, if you do the work, you are going to feel much better about your situation. Even if you don’t do the exercises, this book is just good, practical validation of what people experience when relationships end.

Finally a book that helped me.

The way this book approached a breakup really spoke to my situation. It made me realize more things about my relationship that were wrong more so than any of the other books I’ve gone through.
