Description

Should you stay, or should you go?

Your relationship has reached a fork in the road, and you’re not sure you want it to continue—but you’re not sure you want to just end it either.

If you’ve been walking on eggshells around your partner, cycling through the same conflict with no resolution, or feeling more like roommates than lovers, you’re in the right place.

Most relationship books point you outward, offering checklists of red flags to watch for in your partner. This book takes a different approach: it invites you to tap into your inner wisdom instead, and to trust what you find there.

Drawing on real, evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and more, this book will help you:

  • Examine and challenge your beliefs about love, partnership, conflict, and what it means when relationships end
  • Uncover the unspoken expectations that you bring to your relationship
  • Grieve the ways your relationship has changed over time
  • Weigh the practical factors at stake: parenting, healthcare, and housing
  • Move forward if your partner has taken the decision from you by ending the relationship themselves


No matter what brought you here—a romantic betrayal, ongoing tension, or a slow drift apart—you have a decision to make. Let this book be your guide.
