Ich will bleiben. Aber wie?

It’s not what it used to be. The magic is gone, along with the romantic evenings. Instead, there’s frustration, infidelity, and endless discussions. At some point, you start to wonder: Is it still worth it? The weighing method (on one hand, on the other) rarely leads to a clear conclusion. The fact that there is good alongside the bad makes the decision all the more difficult.

Psychotherapist Mira Kirshenbaum resolves the stalemate by asking questions. As we answer them, we gradually become clearer about our true feelings. The decision unfolds step by step and suddenly seems to happen on its own. And no matter how it turns out—whether to stay or to go—it feels liberating.
