Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever been dissatisfied with a romantic relationship? Many women find themselves in relationships that are unfulfilling. We think that this is just the price we have to pay to be in a relationship. You try to make it work, but your effort alone is not all that's required. You may begin to question yourself. Am I lovable? What is it about me that makes me unable to have a good relationship? Self-esteem plummets and you may begin to believe that this unfulfilling relationship is all that you deserve. Women already wear so many hats and have so many responsibilities. We are never without media or society pushing us to do more with less time. That romantic relationship that is not working could have been the soft place to land, that you believe you need. But there is no soft place to land, your guy is distant. He doesn't call that much or spend much time with you. You also notice that he doesn't talk much about what is going on with him. Do you even have a relationship? You wonder, but every time you ask about the relationship he gets upset and says "Don't start that again." You want him to stay so you learn to be quiet and just accept what time he gives to you. Has your relationship been reduced to sex only? In the beginning, there were dates and laughs and joys, but lately you feel ignored and definitely unloved. You want it to work so you try different things to keep him interested. But it only appears to work for a period of time, then the relationship goes back to being lonely. Every now and then he spends more time with you than usual and you are on top of the world, its working you think. Then the magic stops and it goes back to being distant and lonely. You want to marry this guy one day. Maybe if you get married there will be more together time. You know deep down that this idea makes no sense. When you mention the issue with your friends, they say "He's a good man and he's cute, he has a job, if you don't want him someone else will." You spend your time trying to make the relationship sound better than it really is. You see the signs that he is probably unfaithful. Do you ask about that again? The last time you did you didn't see him or talk to him for two weeks. You are hooked so you don't want to experience that again. So what do you do? Do you focus on changing him? You say "if he would just spend more time with me, he would see how wonderful I am, I am so committed to him." Your actions lean toward the ridiculous. You wonder what type of mental health services you need. This guide takes into consideration all of these emotions of inadequacy, low self esteem, loneliness that women can experience just trying to make a relationship work in their favor. There is everlasting hope if you can just adjust your focus. You will discover the true definition of love, from where it comes and how to experience it. Through this discovery, letting go of the unfulfilling relationship will be much easier and very possible.
