I'm not saying I didn't recognize myself in this book, as well as the man I loved at the time. It just didn't help me. I was expecting the book to do something several months of therapy could not- which was convince me that I was wrong to love him.

Like most of the women described in this book, I too felt that if I could just prove to him how much I cared, he would respond in kind. The book tries, and fails to convince women that this is not how good relationships work.

More time should have been spent in building up the reader's self-esteem, thereby making her realize that she deserved better. It takes some women longer to realize that, and this book doesn't really help.

i got this book and was floored by it's accuracy to my own 26 year marriage. marrying a man that was stoic and that i missed so much while he was in the room! i was already divorced but could see the logic and truth behind each idea. the book gave me one huge lesson which is that when coming from a dysfunctional family and looking for a mate, you look for the basically the same feelings in mate to try and fix your relationship with your parents. i have since told my 13 year old about the book and tried to make her realize how she will be attracted to the same kind of man her father is....emotionally unavailable. i'm hoping that possibly she will be able to realize it and break the cycle. i think everyone should read this book and take a look at the partners that they are drawn to.

My therapist suggested this book to me last year. I never thought I was a woman that loved too much, I just thought I was a woman that loved enough. But when you let yourself love someone more than you love yourself or they love you - yes you are loving too much. I like this book because it talks about real people and their relationship experiences. A lot of woman love too much for many difference reasons, it can be their past, their families, other relationships, etc. I think a lot of different type of woman can relate to this and gain something from it. I have since loaned the book to two totally different woman and I know they have gained something. CHeck it out.
