Women Who Love Too Much

The world-renowned bestseller for women addicted to unhealthy relationships—updated and with a new introduction If your relationships are unhappy, unfulfilling, even ego destroying… If your yearning for love is frustrated by a partner who is more interested in work, substances, or other women than in you… If being in love means being in pain…then this book was written for you. Women Who Love Too Much distills Robin Norwood’s entire career as a therapist specializing in the treatment of co-alcoholism and relationship addiction.
