1.0 out of 5 stars not for a deserted wife, Jul 30 2003
By A Customer
This book assumes that both husband and wife recognize problems and both confront the issues and each other, whether with the goal of reconciliation or divorce. But if your situation is like mine---my husband of 30 years just walked out forever without ever a clue beforehand, and since refuses to discuss any issue, and is determined to get a divorce and marry "her"---then what does this book have to say to you or me? Nothing. If you are a suddenly deserted wife, look elsewhere----this book will not begin to address your devastation.

3.0 out of 5 stars I find the cause of divorce they give questionable, May 19 2003
By A Customer
In all, I found this book to be interesting and at some points, comforting. A fast and easy read, which did make me re-evaluate our relationship. I do question the repeated statements that the submissive spouse would be the one to cheat and leave . . . In my case, an abusive, alcoholic, adulterous, domineering husband left, dropping the bombshell that he was cheating for 6 out of 6 years. At a time when my self-esteem was crushed ("what kind of [person] am I that a [person}like him doesn't want me!") it hurt worse that the betrayed spouse was portrayed as the domineering one . . . when my life, job, education and friends were all controlled by this man! Outside of one sentence in the entire book regarding alcoholism changing relationship dynamics, it didn't apply to my situation specifically. Taken with a grain of salt, however, it did open my eyes to many of the tactics he applies and how we related to each other.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really what I was looking for..., May 13 2003
By A Customer
This book could easily be a 20-page report or pamphlet. Instead, the author uses A TON of different case studies - NONE of which were mine and really, they were boring to read after awhile. Kind of like when you're getting divorced and your heart is breaking - the last thing you care about is other people's relationships. I was looking for insight into how to proceed with a divorce, how to get on with my life and how not to repeat the same situation. The only thing this book taught me was some things to avoid/think about with my next relationship. The other thing I learned from her case studies were that 85% of the couples were cheating on his/her spouse. I found this very depressing.
