Rating: 3.5/5
Genre: Non-fiction

Book Review

Do you know the term “Relationship ambivalence”? It is a state where you feel that your relationship is too good to leave, and, at the same time, you also feel that your relationship is too bad to stay. You feel like screwed up if you make either of the choices. So you don’t decide. You leave it to fate. You wait for the sign to tell you what to do. It may take months, years, or even decades for that sign to come. When the sign came, you’d ask yourself, why did’t I see this coming?, why have I waited for so long?,...

On the other hand, if might find the sign which convince you that your relation ship is too good to leave. And again, when the sign comes, you'd ask yourself,  why have I had to live with uneasy feeling, when the only problems in my relationship are so little and trivial and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with my relationship.
