I use Parker Palmer’s measure in deciding if someone is healthy. Palmer writes, “We learn that we thrive on some connections and whither with others; we enhance our integrity by choosing relationships that give us life and violate it by assenting to those that do not.”

Parker’s direction coupled with yours in “Just Listen” to say “No.” to the attention/love-starved, narcissist and leave when the “No” is not respected have been the winning prescription for my hard-won victory from being “hostage” to my antagonistic, manipulative mother’s rule, “Don’t say, “No.” or you will live to regret it.

To Allhat and Constance,

One resource that you might check out is my book, The 6 Secrets of a Lasting Relationship: How to Fall in Love Again… and Stay There at: http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Lasting-Relationship-Again–There/dp/0399147039.

The idea behind it is that when we fall in love it comes automatically installed with 6 pillars that form the word CREATE where C = Chemistry, R = Respect, E = Enjoyment, A = Acceptance, T = Trust, E = Empathy.

But then things happen that cause some or even all of these to breakdown. The book coaches you on how to “reinstall” each of them and how to make it through some very awkward and difficult conversations.

At the beginning of each of the secrets, there is a quiz that many couples find to be a very helpful tool as well.

Dr Goulston,

Your article haunts me because of its accuracy. I feel that I may be the borderline woman (at least my husband says) and we do have children. Im already seeking out other men to fill my void of emptiness, though I do not want to break up our marriage because I fear the effect if will have on the children, ages 4 and 6. Is there any hope?

Thank you!
