Quote From: anon_slcIf you are with in a relationship with someone, you expect the relationship to grow and deepen over time; you expect a heart connection to be made and maintained. You operate your life based on this expectation. When your partner in the relationship does not or cannot make an emotional connection, the relationship becomes very painful. Some of my favorite books that provide a great introduction and insight into personality types most capable of repeated infidelity are:
Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward AND Why is it Always About You? The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss
Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited by Sam Vaknin
Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery From Borderline Personality Disorder by Rachel Reiland OR The Angry Heart by Joseph Santoro and Ronald Cohen
Emotional Unavailability: Recognizing It, Understanding It and Avoiding Its Trap by Bryn Collins
How to Journal for Therapy:

There are marriages and relationships that are so destructive the only option is for a person to get out. Get out with the little bit of sanity you may have remaining. Make a promise to yourself to leave. Leave so you can begin a life of healing and recovery. Leave so you can learn to live a joyful, peaceful and fulfilling life.
Hope it helps!
This is an excellent message. Anyone can benefit from reading the suggested material and journaling, wether your ill or not, just for the sake of knowledge.
