Whether we should stay in or leave a relationship is one of the most consequential and painful decisions we are ever likely to confront. What makes the issue so hard is that there are no fixed rules for judgement.How can we tell whether a relationship is ‘good enough’ or plain wrong?How do we draw the line between justified longing and naivety?Is sex vital or could it be foregone? Does someone ‘better’ actually exist? How much should the feelings of children be counted (and what might they be in the long term)?Could one’s partner change, perhaps with therapy, or should one assume that who they are now is who they will always be?This paperback edition walks the reader gently through their options and opens their mind to perspectives they might not have considered.It aims to take the reader towards a time, presently hard to imagine, when the choice will no longer feel so agonising.Using its lessons, we can understand ourselves deeply, consider our options, minimise our regrets and find the way ahead. What readers are saying about the hardback edition ‘...a wonderfully quick and thought-provoking read.’ ‘An excellent book to help you make decisions in your personal life...’ ‘gives an insight into both sides of the relationship and the dynamics which may be at play’.
