Can anyone recommend a book that is told from the perspective of the WAS?

I just read "I Do Again" and found it very interesting from the perspective of the WAS. I feel like everything I read is from the opposite perspective and analyzing the WAS.

I'd like to find something from a WAS that writes about their ordeal and what they had to cope with in terms of Divorce, Affair, Children, X (yes, us).

It would be especially interesting from the Male point of view.

And again, beware of spending too much of your mental energy on your exH.

Thanks Cadet and KML I knew you were gonna post something.

I question this myself but after reading "I Do Again" it was relieving to know that sooo much wasn't about me and the misdirected emotions and the communication breakdown.

Although the book is about a woman who is WAS, I'd really like to understand what the hell I went through. I didn't know about DB and DR. I remember someone told be about it but called it divorce busters...that lead me to lawyer ads.

I've been mesmerised but this whole world of divorce. I'm reading the book "When happily ever after ends" It has refocused my whole spirituality and faith in God.

Which, is leading me to forgiveness. I even caught myself saying that "he did what he had to do."

thanks for caring.

be careful of spending too much time trying to understand x

you may never be able to

you may learn you don't want to

work on yourself and letting go of the idea of marriage to your ex...even if you were to get back together it would be a totally new relationship
