What is so attractive about a captive man? Why should she waste her time on him? But many women live in the grip of a deeply ingrained pattern: over and over again, they fall in love with someone who, for one reason or another, will never return their feelings. The object of their affection is often married, incapable of serious commitment, or even pathologically cruel. A woman who constantly finds herself in such a relationship suffers greatly, feeling rejected, unloved, spare. She lives in hope that he will change (or leave his wife). In this book, Dr. Marnie Feuerman helps women see their situations clearly and find the historical, emotional and psychological reasons for their actions. Real patient stories and practical exercises will teach you to immediately recognize “red flags” in relationships, help you end a romance without a future correctly, and clear the way for positive changes in your personal life. The book is also published under the title “Women Who Wait Too Long.”
