If you've been in a relationship that you knew or suspected was harmful but could NOT leave, you know the pain of addiction to a person. Heres WHY people became love addicted HOW to recognize a bad relationship HOW to deal with the MANIPULATION of your partner Rating: - For Men tooI am not sure to four star OR five stars though I give five * for the time being. If a man/women is kind, caring, romantic they are likely to suffer because their spouse will rarely be so; It applies predominantly for women than man, but things are changing and can sometimes be different. SO IT CAN VERY WELL WORK FOR MEN TOO, IN SOME CASES. The author, while did not clearly define 'WHY', explains 'Why that could be'. The book applies, explains somethings I have experienced in my life. So I recommend it. jaykumar Rating: - Read this 10 years ago..I wish I could hug the authorReading this book literally changed my life. Like she says, loving to much is a progressive disease. I was headed down a bad road. But, in my mid twenties I read this book and it helped me to clarify, validate and change! I'm now in a happy, balanced marriage and have a wonderful family. I keep my copy of the book tucked in a dresser drawer. It's too valuable to me to give up. I look at it every couple of years and think of how far I've come. (I had underlined and made notes.) Just read it. Seriously. It can change your life. Rating: - 'Love' in quotes.For any woman, or for that matter man, who has experienced personally or vicariously the agony of being held in thrall to painful relationships, this book is essential. The author presents numerous examples from her clinical practice of women whose lives have spiraled into painful despair, and while our familiarity with what we read can encourage us, the author's unflinching look into every woman's complicity is not for the faint of heart. This is not 'love' but degrading self-torture. I urge you, if you are such a woman, if you know such a woman, get this book and get reading. In association with Amazon.com | |
