This was okay for what it was, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted to find something that helped me understand my husband's sexuality, and accept it so I could let him go and move on. In a way this had the opposite effect, as it was full of sad and despairing stories and didn't leave much hope or anything to look forward to. I was looking for inspiration and strength, but this left me feeling more depressed than ever. So I am trying some of the other books to figure out how to accept and let go; I don't want this to define me and I don't want to live the rest of my life holding grudges.

I think I cried through most of this book. Really good and the only book I found that I felt understood.
