"Michael Broder has written another very rational and practical book. He considers almost all... questions that people in relationships can ask themselves about breaking up, and answers them directly and solidly. I would strongly recommend that any person who is ambivalent about his or her relationship read this book. Promptly!"

"...a useful guide to assessing a relationship, understanding what causes relationship turmoil, working through ambivalence and the dizzying consequences of staying vs. leaving a bad relationship."

"...this book presents sympathetic but no-nonsense analysis and advice that can be of inestimable value for people ambivalent about their relationships. Broder...helps readers ask questions about whether they would be sorry after leaving -- or would miss out on a better life by staying. Bottom line: thoughtful, nonjudgmental, pointed and thoroughly helpful."

"Partners in unhappy relationships often find themselves unable to decide whether to stay or to go. Dr. Broder tackles this painful ambivalence head on... offers strategies to salvage and rekindle those unions that can be saved, and -- unlike most marriage therapy books -- shows how to part company without guilt or untoward regrets when that is the better option. I encourage therapists to recommend this book to their equivocating clients."
