Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-By-Step Guide to Helping You Decide Whether to Stay in or Get Out of Your Relationship

Rating:
Summary: You still need to act after deciding
Review: A very helpful book although the answer one will find might not be as obvious as the author makes you believe it will be. There are many helpful hints such as to avoid putting together pros and cons lists ? they will not help you solve your relationship ambivalence, they will just intensify your emotional roller coaster ride. The examples in the book often seem too extreme, which might lead one to think that one actually has a perfect relationship compared to some of the examples. Therefore the reader needs to adjust the example to his/her own situation. Nevertheless it is a very helpful guideline to help you make one of the most important decisions in your life. But you should be aware that it might also be along way from deciding what is right for you to do to actually acting upon your decision, which is the only way to actually get out of the most unpleasant ambivalence situation and find happiness again.

Summary: Too Good to Leave
Review: The book makes people think about what matters in a relationship and considers different angles. However, some of the examples in the book seemed a bit extreme to me. Some problems in some relationships are not as obvious and it is harder to define what really is wrong. This is not addressed in this book. It seems like this book is for people in relationships with obvious problems.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book is awesome. It's the only place I have found that discusses every issue that I struggled with in deciding to get divorced. Re-reading it confirmed that I made the right decision, and the guidelines are useful for determining if my next relationship will be one that is based on "the right stuff."
