A framework for deciding whether to stay or leave

Mira Kirshenbaum’s guide centers on a difficult question often left aside by relationship advice: whether a partnership is worth trying to repair. It organizes that decision around self-examination, with questions about trust in one’s own judgment, sexual compatibility, forgiveness, and the presence of love alongside serious dissatisfaction. The book presents a process for identifying personal limits and weighing the relationship as it is, rather than assuming that fixing it is the only goal. Its emphasis is on clarifying the decision and considering concrete next steps, while leaving the choice with the person assessing their relationship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults weighing whether to remain in or leave a relationship
  • Readers seeking structured questions for reflecting on relationship concerns
  • People looking to clarify personal needs and boundaries in a partnership

Book overview

There are many books that promise to help you fix a bad relationship. This groundbreaking bestseller is the first one to help you choose whether you should even try--or if you need to go.

Psychotherapist Mira Kirshenbaum draws on years of research and her work with real-life couples to help you make the right decision. She shows you how to diagnose your unique situation with self-analysis and questions like these, which get to the very heart of your problems:

- What sins are forgivable and which ones are unpardonable?
- Is your partner questioning your opinions to the point where you doubt yourself?
- What is your sex life really like, and how important is it?
- Is there real love left between you, and how does it stack up against all that you find unlovable?

Mira Kirshenbaum provides expert guidelines that are the key to making all your choices, concrete steps that you can implement right now, and the ultimate way to determine your personal bottom line--what you need to be happy. This remarkably insightful and probing guide offers advice that lets you see the truth about your relationship--and with wisdom and compassion, it helps you act with the confidence of knowing that whether you decide to go or stay, you are doing the very best thing.
