User Reviews about Too Good to Leave - Too Bad to Stay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of Your Relationship

As a practicing divorce lawyer with over 15 years of experience, I consistently recommend this book to potential clients. Many people need a tool like Mira Kirshenbaum's book to help them sort through the various conflicts and contradictions--both internally and externally, when making the decision to divorce. This book is clearly the BEST CHOICE I've found on this topic. It will help you stay out of divorce court, if that is what you need or it could help you develop the clarity to proceed, if that's in your best interests.

This book is widely recommended by many of our therapists and psychologists in San Diego County who provide marriage and family counseling. -- This Book is a Timeless Treasure

I stayed in a miserable relationship for years (25 years), part of that was because I was afraid I would lose my child if I got a divorce. This book not only help you analyze your relationship accurately, but helps you determine what to do next depending on your answers. Mira helped me realize there was a plethora of help for single mothers and most of all, felt a peace and clarity 2nd only to reading the Holy Scriptures!

Almost 2 years later, I hear the laughter of children instead of the silence of aching hearts. I'm going to college and I'm sooooo happy that I found this book on Amazon!!

Thank you Mira for your Amazing work, I thank the Lord for you always!
-- This book changed my life! Sooo much happier now!

My wife and I both read this book independently and then compared our answers. It's arguably one of the best tools we've had to examine our past, present and future relationship. Highly recommend it. -- Just the facts

This is the best relationship book I have ever found. The author clearly has years of experience helping people make sense out of their relationships and the nagging question ... should I stay or should I leave. This book was helpful in clarifying for me issues in my current relationship but also helped me understand why I left relationships in the past and let go of any residual guilt. To quote the book "you live a life, not a relationship." If you are on the fence about a relationship this book will helped you clear that hurtle and either terminate or accept and move on. -- Best relationship book I've ever read

This book was an answer to my prayers. I purchased this book shortly after I made the decision to file for divorce. I was in my relationship with my ex-husband for 11 years and during that time I questions myself day in and day out. I needed this book so badly and found comfort in my decision through this book. I can honestly say that if my relationship was too good to leave I would have stayed but it was to bad to stay and I knew this for 11 years but didn't know how to leave. I highly recommend this book to anyone who isn't sure. I should also say that I was in counseling with my ex-husband and by myself for around 3 years... it was a long process of learning to trust my self to make the right choice. This book was the icing on the cake in the best decision of my life. -- Thank you...
