Synopsis

A book to offer clarity and guidance when facing the difficult decision of whether your relationship has a future. Whether we should stay in or leave a relationship is one of the most consequential and painful decisions we are ever likely to confront. What makes the issue so hard is that there are no fixed rules for judgement. How can we tell whether a relationship is 'good enough' or plain wrong? How do we draw the line between justified longing and naivety? Does someone 'better' actually exist? Should the feelings of children be counted (and what might they be in the long term)? Could one's partner change, perhaps with therapy, or should one assume that who they are now is who they will always be? All these questions typically haunt our minds as we weigh up whether to stay or go. With no axe to grind or ideology to promote, Stay or Leave walks us gently through our options, opening our minds to perspectives we might not have considered. This book aims to take the reader towards a time, presently hard to imagine, when the choice will no longer feel so agonizing. Using its lessons, we can understand ourselves deeply, consider our options, minimize our regrets and find the way ahead.

Probably one of the best books I’ve read on relationships. I would highly recommend this even if you’re not in a position to choose between staying in or leaving a relationship. I think it’s a great tool to both help you evaluate your romantic relationships or to figure out what is it that you’re lo......more

Goodreads review by Layla on August 17, 2021

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 3.5/4 stars. An insightful book that may be of assistance to those who feel stuck in a relationship, for whatever reason. The majority of the book does sadly focus mostly on hetero monogamous relationships with offspring, which was......more

Goodreads review by Leo on May 27, 2023

The book is provoking and not providing concrete answers and that's what I like about it. It makes you think without taking over any decision for you and that is what the journey is all about: asking questions all along and look at a topic — romantic relationships in this case, but could be any othe......more
