About this audiobook
The lure of the unavailable man is a mystery to many. Why is she wasting her time? But, for many others, it is a deep-seated pattern. Time and again, they fall for someone who for one reason or another will never return their feelings. The object of their affection may be emotionally unavailable, married, or even pathologically cruel. The woman who routinely finds herself in this situation suffers mightily, feeling rejected, unloved, undesirable. She wonders what is wrong with her. With empathy and compassion, Dr. Marni Feuerman helps women see their situations clearly, understand the historical, emotional, and psychological reasons behind their actions, and, most importantly, make better choices for themselves. Feuerman unpacks the cliche about not being able to control the other's behavior, only one's own, with clear exercises and action steps. While the emphasis is on understanding and changing one's own behavior, profiles of the reliably unreliable/unavailable are given to make "red flags" undeniable. And while the subject of unfulfilling relationships is not a happy one, Feuerman has positive messages for sufferers. Initially painful insights breed clarity and confidence. The end of a destructive relationship clears the way for a positive one. And being "in love" means not just loving, but being loved.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is good if you are someone who finds yourself going after emotionally unavailable men or if you are emotionally available yourself. A lot of the things talked about in this book are stuff my therapist has talked about. So reading this book was very reflective for me.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book hit home and provides amazing advice. There were times I had to stop the audio and cone back a day later - it’s real and intense! It’s for anyone who now recognizes the term “Ghosted” and is ready for healing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall a okay book in the first few chapters, a good starter book if you’re someone not familiar with attachment styles and the impact of childhood neglect.
It has this weird undertone of being directed towards the affair partner which made it alot less impactful for me, and if you’re someone who has been cheated on this might be triggering to hear.
