your other half next time he does something infuriating' Daily Mail

One night during his divorce, after one too many vodkas and a
phone-in-therapist's advice to 'journal his feelings,' Matthew Fray
started a blog. As he tried to piece together how his ex-wife went
from adoring to angry he realised that even though he was a decent

darkly humorous stories he shared about the lessons he's learned
from his failed marriage comes this strangely hopeful guide to
saving relationships. This is How Your Marriage Ends offers
immediately actionable advice to help readers identify toxic
behaviour patterns in their own lives, and break them out of the
cycles of dysfunction that ruin relationships. This is a must-read
for people in any stage of a relationship, whether it's near the
beginning or nearing the end. Good people can be bad partners -
here's how to ensure that isn't you.
"One person's justice is another's revenge," is a maxim trial
lawyer Penn Roman has heard throughout his professional life. He
experiences the awful truth of this adage as he represents
prominent surgeon Larry Brownfell who discovers his beautiful
wife's adultery with two men and is drawn into a violent maelstrom
which ends in a deadly climax. While investigating criminal charges
against his client, Penn uncovers criminal conspiracies among
people connected with Brownfell. As he defends his client from the
dire consequences of a violent temper and thirst for revenge, a
shocking chain of crime, including blackmail, fraud, adultery,
perjury, and, ultimately murder, is set in motion. Using all of his
legal, investigative, and trial skills, Penn fights both in and out
of court to keep Brownfell from being convicted of murder. He is
sorely tested by an uncooperative and impulsive client, by
Brownfell's wife and her unscrupulous lawyer, and by others who
have a lot to gain by the doctor's conviction and who have a
different concept of justice.

Pop stars, celebrities and sports heroes aren't the only ones
dealing with physical abuse, infidelity and mental abuse. Women all
over the world are faced with being caught up in bad relationships
every day. Why do men cheat? Don't they know that if they were
faithful and treated us ladies with respect that we would love them
and treat them like men want to be treated? Ladies, what would you
do if your boyfriend or husband verbally abused you daily? What
would you do if your husband called you worthless, fat, lazy and
said in front of your children that you were the worst wife and
mother on the face of the earth? What would you do if you came home
and your husband, fiance, or boyfriend in bed with another woman?
What if the woman in your bed was your best friend? Have any of you
ever had a man walk out on you for another woman? Was she younger
or prettier than you? The women in this book are facing those very
issues. They all have to face the fact that their no-good men are
not only cheaters, but are verbally and mentally abusive jerks. All
of the women in this book have to dig deep within their souls and
find the strength to leave their no-good, cheating men before it's
too late.
Organized in three parts, Betrayal, Sorrow and Tomorrow poetically
and illustratively expresses the effects of divorce on the spouses
and children. Part I (Betrayal) tries to help the reader keep
wedding vows. The first of 53 poems, "The Senses Tell It All,"
explores problems resulting into divorce and induces the reader to
"Give that hugging feeling" to restore the lost luster. Other poems
give guidance: Count Your Blessings," and "Don't Do It." Part II
(Sorrow) explores the painful Sorrow associated with divorce. The
poem "Both Wondering Why" wonders why the spouse "did it."
Loneness, a traumatic divorce aspect, is expressed in "Alone" and
Really, Really Alone. The poems then take on a reconciliation
attempt and the author expresses hopefulness in "Rebuilding Hope"
and "New Start for Two Hearts." However, when reconciliation
efforts are dashed, the poet expresses the anguish in "I Tried To
No Avail" and "Laying Aside a Feeling" Part III (Tomorrow) takes on
a new twist as the poet turns to finding love. The desire to live
("I Will Live") fights feelings of sorrow, as "What I Want, What We
All Want" expresses desires. The poet explores the desires of the
heart and the reasonableness of the mind. Your mind must make the
decision Navigating away from a collision Of heart and mind going
blind But rather of heart and mind that bind Stating that the mind
and heart must agree, a perfect match for the poet occurs only
"When Love Meets Intellect." Find out if the poet finds love.
Throughout the poet provides several poems about helping the
parents deal with the effects of divorce on the children. The poems
"Win Your Children's Heart," "It's Not Your Fault Kids," "Loving
That Child,""Visitations" and "Good Father Forever" should be read
by every parent going through a divorce.
The Parental Peace Accord describes a unique process that allows
divorced and divorcing parents the opportunity to shift their focus
from their own emotional turmoil to the needs and best interests of
their children. In doing this, parents learn that while they may no
longer be husband and wife, they can and will be "parenting
partners." This process, when implemented properly, often creates a
powerful byproduct that allows the parents to experience an
amicable dissolution and create a positive environment for their
children. Bailey's direct in-your-face approach, tempered with
insightful humor, makes it difficult to put this book down. If you
are a divorced or divorcing parent, this book is a must-read. The
perspective you gain from Bailey's experiences as a lawyer,
divorced parent, and orphan, will be one of the most valuable gifts
you can give your children as they adapt to the dissolution of
their parents' marriage.
