I have a WAW. I have read, and posted on these boards. Can anyone recommend a good book for a WAW to read that would be useful, or am I wasting my time? I have read most of Michele's books and understand not to share with my wife DR. I think she would give me a second chance if she could find a way to get the "love" back. Anyone have any advice on any books that may be helpful?

Thanks in advance

New here myself TD, this is a good place to be. You will get lots of help.

General opinion here is that you can't be giving WAW anything like that, it is seen by them as weak and pursuing. It's like, "just read this and you'll realize how stupid you were leaving me".

It's not what they want to hear.

Having said that, I'm currently reading the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman and finding it fantastic. Yeah IF I asked my WAW to read it, I'm sure she would find lots in it that would strike a chord with her about our R.

But I'm listening to the advice of the people here who have Been there, Done that.

Stay Strong.

TD,
When I was walking away, I wouldn't have read a thing my H offered me. Anything he would have given me at that time would have been viewed by me as an effort to convince me something was wrong with me and what I was doing. And I wasn't having any of that.

fyi.

I agree with blownaway and Greek. WAS's don't want to be told that there's something wrong with them.

If you are talking about a WAS that is coming back and wants to work on the R, there's a thread in the Piecing forum that may be of use:

Its a great book. I like to read it every 10 years.

I read that one and this one.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage...nter S Thompson

May want to keep that one away from WAW.
