  • I'm just walking around, looking around.
I read this book just a short while ago and it was enlightening as to why I may be attracted to unavailable men. I'm attaching an article from PsychCentral.com that gives a few excerpts and it also includes a link to Amazon if anyone is interested in purchasing the bool. They start around $1.00 if you buy it used (does not include shipping). The book includes some good exercises. I've not done the exercises yet because my mind is unfocused and I can't decide if I want to leave my situation or not. Anyway...here is the link.
