I have a ton of affair/relationship books to give away. I'm keeping my divorce/coparenting books

I will post pics in comments, but here they are in no particular order:

Getting Past the Affair by Snyder et al

Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Kirshenbaum

Chatting or Cheating by Meyers

Spousonomics by Szuchman and Anderson

Getting the Sex you Want by Nelson (actually, I might keep that one )

Talking Dirty by Neustifier (hmmm... I might reconsider keeping that one in case I ever, ahem, need it)

Mating in Captivity by Perel

What Makes Love Last by Gottman

Where to Draw the Line by Katherine

After the Affair by Spring

Not Just Friends by Glass

Marriage Rules by Lerner

The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work by Gottman

The Sex-Starved Marriage by Davis

If I find anymore, I'll come back and edit. As you can see, I often try to solve problems with information.

OK, it's not really a ton, but at least a few kilos.

I can mail them to people who want/need them.

Also, if you'd like more info, I can take a pic of the blurb on the back or tell you what I thought of the book.

I would say that the author is pro-reconciliation. She basically says that if you are on the fence about leaving or staying, opt to stay for a while to see if the relationship can be salvaged.

OK. I think I'll get it from the library...I'm sure someone closer to DDAy would find it more helpful. Thanks.

You're good people Hawke! Way to pay it forward.

I hate to admit it, I've read most of those books myself.

Minnesota ( member #50615) posted at 10:40 PM on Friday, September 16th, 2016

In fact, I have the following I would be happy to send:

How to Help your Spouse Heal from Your Affair (yes, I actually bought the book) (MacDonald)

I Love You But I don't Trust You (Kirshenbaum)

Not "Just Friends" (Glass)

Intimacy after Infidelity (Solomon and Teagno)

After the Affair (Spring)

First Aid for the Betrayed (Alan)

Getting Past the Affair (Snyder et. al.)

In grabbing these off these off the table, I glanced through the chapters again and think I want to read a few chapters in a couple of these again, especially now that I know what direction my life is going post D. So if you want one or more of these, it might take a day or two longer than you would expect before I send them because I might reread a copule chapters. - but ask.

I see we have similar taste in books, Minnesota. I expect a lot of us have a similar bookshelf (actually, mine now live in the "drawer of despair" in the bedside table on ex's old side of the bed.

Lost- I sent you a Private Message. You can respond to it with an address I can ship those books to.

Hawke- I'm sure most of us do have the classics. I like that, "drawer of despair." I had my books at my office at work. I'll be happy to get that table back that they were sitting on. It will be the table of total awesomeness soon. :-)

Hawke, do you still have the copy of

Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay

or After the Affair?

I have many of the others, but it gets expensive quickly.

Do you still have any of the last 6 on your written list? I would like all of any of them that are available please. I can't send messages yet so can you please send me a message if they are available. Thank you.

If not, Minnesota, do you have those ones?
