Riassunto

Deciding when to work on a relationship and when to walk away is a skill that can prevent us wasting months and even years of our lives on partners that will never make us truly happy. Once we have learned to identify the deal breaker in a relationship we can empower ourselves to action, and then change and improve our lives. Whereas books like 'He's Just Not That Into You' explored relationship troubles in black and white, 'Deal Breakers' covers all the shades of grey that lie in between - all those areas where relationships can hit an impasse. Some deal breakers are easy to identify - one partner wants marriage, the other doesn't - yet many are more subtle and difficult to pinpoint. Dr Bethany Marshall is a relationships expert. She has identified specific male archetypes and the traits that frustrate and infuriate their partners. Here, for the first time in book form, is advice that can help any woman who is trying too hard to make her relationship work.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This is a book about men. Not all men, just emotionally unhealthy men. The ones who make you question, 'Is it him or is it me? Am I making too big a deal out of this?'
Relationships are hard work, but how hard should they be? When do you know you are struggling too hard to make a relationship succeed? Deal Breakers is about getting out of this 'relationship purgatory' - where the present is unfulfilling and the future is the only thing you can hope for. But there is no magic future. If he won't work on problems today, it's unlikely they'll ever be resolved. Decipher his personality type and you'll be able to answer the really tough questions: 'Is he capable of changing? Can we make this work?'
Dr Bethany Marshall is here to remind women that personal relationships - like business relationships - are deals. In the business world, a deal breaker is the one non-negotiable term that, if not agreed to, means the deal is off. In relationships, a deal breaker is a boundary that smart people set themselves because they know falling in love can make them do stupid things. Through case studies, deal breaker scenarios and suggested courses of action, Deal Breakers expertly advises women when to work harder and when to walk away. By defining your deal breaker, you hold all the power to create the happiness you deserve.
Dr Bethany Marshall has been a Marriage, Family and Child Therapist in California for the past eighteen years. She regularly appears as a contributing psychological commentator on US television.
