I'm in a great relationship now but had a horrible last serious relationship... the signs were there and I ignored them because I LOVED him. Took me a very long time to get around to dumping him. Best thing I ever did - but also the hardest. Biggest regret is not doing it sooner.
But I digress.
A book I read really helped me clarify my decision and thoughts on the relationship - was called "Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay". It convinced me (intellectually) that it was time to give up. It took my emotions a while to join the cause but the realizations I got reading the book helped me stay strong in staying away.
I really recommend it - and I think most "self help" books are drivel.
For those of you on the fence - read read read this book

Re: Too good to leave...
Mon, May 24, 2004 - 11:28 AMThat sound like a good one. A book that I recommend is "Women who love too much". It's the same thing but mainly for women who fall in the same cycle. Loving the same type of creeps.
I hear ya for not seeing the signs. I went 4 years without seeing them. We're still friends mind ya, and we both agree now. But it still sucked.
Congrats on being strong. Keep it going. I'll read it and tell you what I think. -
