A Way Out: A Men's Guide to Leaving Unhealthy Relationships

By Michael Freeman

This book is for any guy who is in an unhappy (and maybe even unhealthy) relationship, but can't breakup. Many men find themselves in relationships that they wish to leave, but they can't generate the courage to finally break up. A Way Out will give you the perspective you need to get on with your life.

In other words, it's a breakup manual for men that need a little help. This guide will give you the resources to breakup as painlessly as possible.

Why does it feel so hard to breakup?

Why do some guys waste their time in unhappy relationships?

Why are some men so scared of delivering the news, even when they know it's the right thing to do?

This book has real answers and a step-by-step strategy to help you determine if you need to leave, and to help you finally get on with your life.
