Learning to Love Again

For 10 months, I've been dating a not-so-recently divorced man (over 3 1/2 years ago) and this book has helped me understand him more than any other book or person. When we met, he apparently thought he was in Stage 4 (Ready for Commitment) but it turns out he's in Stage 3 (Come Closer/Go Away). If not for Learning to Love Again, I probably would have written him off months ago but the book really helped me understand what's going through his head. I just wish the book were longer!!

Mel Krantzler explains in detail, and with humor, the phases the human goes through after a divorce, to get them to a point of re-connecting again in an intimate relationship. I found myself (as he explains) bouncing back and forth between phases, each time I had another breakup..This book is a must read for the person (either male or female), who's found themselves alone again after divorce, break-up, or death of a life partner; before you even consider a new relationship..
