머물까, 떠날까

I picked this up during a rough patch and the sections on how to actually weigh staying versus leaving gave me language for things I couldn't articulate. It doesn't push you toward one answer, which is exactly what I needed.

It tackles the hardest question in a relationship with real nuance instead of easy answers, and the chapter on attachment styles genuinely shifted how I see my own patterns. I've already loaned it to a friend who's in the exact same agonizing place.

I read it in three sittings and kept stopping to show my partner paragraphs that felt like they were pulled from our own arguments. The way it walks you through the actual decision process, not just the feelings, is what made it click for me.
