Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I like having my viewpoints challenged and this provocative book did that. Her point about intimacy needing closeness but desire needing distance was an interesting point to chew on. Her discussion on sexual fantasies vs everyday fantasies was also interesting, too. However, I strongly disagree with advising not to confess an affair, claiming it’s disrespectful. No, having an affair is disrespectful. Respect is respecting your partner’s right to choose to stay or leave you. Since knowledge = power, knowledge of the affair = power to make an informed decision. Stripping away someone’s power, claiming it’s for their own good, is manipulation reframed to sound positive. A surprising argument, too, coming from an author who also advises against being possessive of your partner.
