Hi - I would like some recommendations for MLC books from a womens perspective. I realize that in DR Michelle suggests MLC knows no gender, but would still like to know if there are any books looking at it from a women's view. The books listed in the archive section are geared towards men. For that matter, what is considered the bible on MLC.

I can't help but believe my W of 10+ years is in MLC - 'you are my best friend, but I don't have that feeling of love for you', 'I may never have loved you', from what I can tell she still sleeps with OM who has a serious girlfriend, has a crush on OM in another part of the country.

I have not looked into her work email in 3 days (a struggle, but I believe it will help me detach). Saw her yesterday morning as I had to drop off her birth certificate (she lost her license on a girls weekend trip where she evidently met yet another guy who she has been emailing with (he is now in Afghanastan)), anyway, we had a nice 10 minute conversation and she asked if I would want to go to lunch sometime. I said sure give me a call. The prior week she asked if I would want to go to dinner, but she never followed up with that, so I simply continue to try and detach, yet be civil.

I have decided to let her file, but sometimes it takes a lot to swallow my pride knowing that she is interested in OM, and that she is sleeping with at least one of them. This is not the women I married.

Perfect Daughters
Women in MLC


There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.

I too would recommend Perfect Daughters.

In addition:
Welcome to your Crisis
Solo Partner
Anything by Lerner (Dance of Intimacy, Dance of Connection, Dance of Anger etc.)
Conscious Loving.

The Lerner books are more about women. The other three are "gender neutral" but still quite useful IMO.

If your wife is alcoholic, or the child of an alcoholic, or if alcoholics, try:
It will never happen to me

Good luck. It is great that you want to learn about W; don't forget though that you can only change yourself.

Hugs.
AH
