Road Map for Relationship Doubters
CAN WE STILL SAVE OUR LOVE?
EVERY OTHER PERSON NOW AND THEN toys with the idea of leaving their partner, according to statistics. In times of »serial monogamy«, during the course of our lives, every one of us repeatedly faces the decision of whether we should leave our partner or stay. This book is aimed at those doubting their relationships and accompanies them through the stages of these doubts: it examines the causes, shows ways of coming to a decision and sheds a light on the two possibilities – separation or a new start. Case examples from couple therapy sessions, as well as techniques for finding the right direction provide assistance. But the book remains open-ended: it does not give advice on whether to leave or stay, but rather on how to take action to become happy again in the end.
Agnes-Isabel Pahl (44) has worked as a couples’ therapist and psychotherapist, as well as a natural practitioner with her own practice in Munich for more than ten years.
Stefan Parrisius (52) has worked as a journalist, presenter, and writer in Munich for over 25 years. After 20 years of hosting prime time radio programmes he took a job at the Bavarian Broadcasting Company in 2008.
The two are a couple. They have gone through several breakups over the years but have never broken up with each other. They are not planning on extending their experiences of separation– despite and because of this book.
