Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum - Sam Thomas Davies Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum - Sam

Quick take: If you look like you’re leaving your relationship and act like you’re leaving it, you’re leaving it. Toca una diversidad de problemas por los que pueden pasar las parejas (uno o todos a la vez) y todos están enmarcados con ejemplos de la vida real. If you and your partner have passionately felt but profoundly divergent preferences about how to live, and if the lifestyle you prefer is impossible with your partner, and if it’s clear that you’ll be happier living that lifestyle without your partner than living with your partner without that lifestyle, then you’ll be happy if you leave and unhappy if you stay. A relationship where you feel demeaned, where there is no trust, or where there is a constant threat of physical violence should be left, regardless of the good things it has going for it. Kirshenbaum ask, when it counts for you, do you really like your partner the way you like a friend or someone else you feel comfortable and happy being with?Do you have a basic, recurring, never-completely-going-away feeling of humiliation or invisibility in your relationship?

What this book is good at is offering up some questions that will probably make you think about some aspects of things you hadn't previously considered. When people make agreements and then break them, the relationship is not only a place of fighting and deprivation, it’s a place of betrayal.All in all, I would (still) recommend this book as 'discussion starter' for partners in any state of their relationship. Is having custody more likely, and have you thought through what it’s like to parent kids on your own? If you feel that you and your partner have turned a corner where having fun together is simply not a possibility at all, and you’re living without hope of the two of you having fun together again, then most people in your situation are happy they leave and unhappy they stay. While you may have fallen in love with you partner when you first started dating, that is most likely because in reality, they were loving, respectful, had similar values and goals, etc. Some questions focus on what we might think of as minimum qualities for a relationship: When the relationship was at it's best, was it really very good?
