I married my college sweetheart when I was 24. It never occurred to me that we weren't meant to be together. After five years of marriage I realized how unhappy and unfulfilled I was for many reasons. I stayed with the marriage because I could not accept that I had made a mistake and also because I was too scared to start over. I saw several marriage counselors over the eight years I was married but until I read this book, I didn't come to the conclusion or have the courage to "allow" myself to make the right decision. A lot of this book talks about if people who were in your situation were happier they stayed or left - I can honestly say I've never been happier in my decision to end my marriage. My x-husband and I continue to be friends to this day and we are now both in new marriages and very happy. My divorce was almost nine years ago but I recently found this book on my shelf and thumbed through it again. It reminded me of a very hard time in my life, but it also reminded me how valuable the information inside of it was. I truly believe I gave myself a second chance - I couldn't be happier.Get more detail about Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay.
