“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!”

“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.”
