For the last 25 years or so, I have been in so many relationships that I can honestly say I don’t even recall names of some of the men I’ve dated. When I was in my 20’s, I can scarcely even recall a time when I wasn’t in one relationship or another. I always felt that I needed to have someone with me whether they cared, or I cared. Due to this, I was never able to find what I needed from anyone.I survived a 5 year relationship which was horrendously abusive, and yet I stayed because I felt trapped and couldn’t just walk away. I’ve cried over men and I’ve made many a man cry themselves. I really like how Skyler Grey talks about getting attached to people when we’re dating them. For many years, I had a serious problem with getting attached to men after just a short time period, which made it very difficult when a break-up would eventually occur. Through the years though, and with much experience, I started going the other way entirely and I started feeling no attachment whatsoever to anyone that I dated.I have been in many “un-healthy” relationships in my life, and it took me many years to finally be able to find “myself” and realize that what I needed the most was to fulfill my needs and my goals and not to dwell on what someone else could offer me. I really wish that this amazing book had been available to me years ago! I know that had I read it when I was in my 20’s, or even 30’s, I would have saved myself many heart-breaks and sleepless nights!I believe that this book is an outstanding book for anyone who has either found themselves in a relationship that possibly isn’t working the way that they think it should be, and they may be facing the dreaded act of being “dumped” by someone. I also think it’s a great reference for those who are like I was when I was younger, and find themselves falling from one relationship to another and not fully understanding just why their relationships never seem to work out. Skyler Grey touches on many situations which can make, or even break, a relationship, and she does so in a very descriptive and straight forward way which will definitely be a great lesson for so many.This book is the ultimate on being able to handle your own emotions when a relationship goes south. It also helps to educate on things you can do to prevent yourself from being attached to someone who may not feel the same way as you do, thus, saving yourself from going “psycho” as many people have seemingly gone when a relationship fails. She even gives some outstanding suggestions for things a person can do to not only distract their minds from dwelling on the break ups, but to also help you focus more on yourself and making sure that your own life is heading in the right direction before you even think about sharing it with someone else .An excellent read for all people who have ever been in, or will be, in a relationship!
