Publisher's summary

Is having 'somebody to love' the most important thing in your life? Do you constantly believe that with 'the right man' you would no longer feel depressed or lonely? Are you bored with 'nice guys' who are open, honest, and dependable? If being in love means being in pain, this book was written for you. Therapist Robin Norwood describes loving too much as a pattern of thoughts and behavior, which certain women develop as a response to problems from childhood.

Many women find themselves repeatedly drawn into unhappy and destructive relationships with men. They then struggle to make these doomed relationships work. This best-selling book takes a hard look at how powerfully addictive these unhealthy relationships are - but also gives a very specific program for recovery from the disease of loving too much.

Shook!

I feel like I learned so much about myself. Wow!!! The comparison with alcoholism and women who love toooo much really shook me. I never thought a book could instill so much knowledge and action!! The beginning of the book dove right into sad and intense stories of woman who love too much and I had to pause it for a couple of days to mentally prepare myself. After going through the entire book I understand why it started like that. I sit here contemplating my courage and how I will use this book to take action in my life. If you read this book you will not stay the same.

Great book

I liked th stories and the explanations that were used to portray complex family issues and subsequent mate selections. And of course the problems caused by lack of self-esteem and self-understanding.

Amazing book and excellent narrator!

This book put into perspective so many things I have been dealing with in my life! I feel so enlightened and I believe I can meet these downfalls head on and hopefully overcome the obstacles I face. I believe every woman should at least read the first couple of chapters of this book just to see if this describes them in any way... I didn't realize just HOW MUCH I love too much!

Best Book ever written for Women like me!!!

This book portrayed my life to a T. I couldn't believe it. It was like listening to my own life story and finally coming to an understanding why I endured and did what I did to make my relationship work.
