"I love you but I'm not in love with you" - Book... THANK YOU

[Flamesparrow]

Whoever recommended it to me (memory of sieve), thank you! So far I have only read the introduction, but it is Us.

I have no idea how I will convince DH to read it, but even if I have to lock him in the bathroom with no other books but that, he will read it.

I know I recommended it some weeks ago on an earlier thread - not sure if it was yours flamesparrow!
I found it immensely helpful to me. So glad it's hit the spot!

I'm about halfway through (completely neglecting house), and some of it is things we have said word for word.

I have renewed faith that we can get through this

Oh,a nd it was you who said about it

Oh that's great!! I hope you don't have to go as far as locking DH in the bathroom though!!

Meh, he spends a lot of time in there anyway

Happy for you that you found the book, are there any practical hints in it?

Yes lots, there are sort of exercises at the end of each section

Sorry to pester but...

Do you do the exercises together or alone?

How did your partner react when you got the book - I think DH would be so insulted by the title that he would never forgive me!

Lol not pestering at all. There are various ones to do alone or together, but together seems better.

My DH moved out a month ago because of the whole situation, so he understands why I bought it (he is the one not in love). Still have to convince him to read it . I am hoping that when we talk tonight (big Talk lined up to recap on the first month) I can explain why it is important.

If it is you with the issue, then again, even without doing the activities I think it would help a lot. It helps you understand how things have got like this etc

Good luck with the Talk then, hopefully you can get him to give it a shot if the book is helpful?

Might order it but won't leave it lying around the house!

Things fell apart last few posts here
