"As much as the evidence weighs heavily on him not leaving his wife and family, the aim of this book is not to pass judgment or tell you what to do. Instead, it is to give you informed choices to better understand the why of things and then help you decide what is best for you."
Is He Ever Going to Leave His Wife? The Answers to the Questions You Desperately Want to Know is written not for the wife, but for the "other woman" who may be grappling with her role and future possibilities.
Readers at a crossroads in their relationships with previously (or still) involved men need a book that is candid about all kinds of possibilities. Is He Ever Going to Leave His Wife? covers all the bases of possibility, from cheaters to polyamorous relationship realities, and how narcissistic behaviors affect everyone involved.
Chapters review the basics of relationship challenges with an eye to considering the attraction and detriments of an affair with a married man, reviewing common perspectives of all who become involved in such an affair. The idea is to probe the underlying motivations, expectations, and desires of everyone in a love triangle, offering realistic insights into what typically happens under such conditions.
Of particular note and importance are the focuses on "what to do" and "what not to do" that outline and identify complex issues readers may not have considered in the quest for love and connection. There are a myriad of concerns to be addressed when one becomes involved with a married man.
No other book outlines all the possibilities, options, and logical choices like Is He Ever Going to Leave His Wife?. Readers who still believe such a relationship is viable and important need to absorb the warnings and paths outlined in this book. Extensive research and interviews with women who shared their experiences creates a solid compendium of data that "the other woman" will find invaluable.
Libraries and book discussion groups revolving around women's issues and relationships should consider Is He Ever Going to Leave His Wife? a key acquisition. It's highly recommended for any collection or dialogue strong in relationship psychology and women's growth and healing.
