Matthew Fray

A thoughtful, down-to-earth, contemporary guide to help partners identify and address relationship-killing behavior patterns in their own lives. Good people can be bad at relationships. One night during his divorce, after one too many vodkas and a call with a phone-in-therapist who told him to "journal his feelings," Matthew Fray started a blog. He needed to figure out how his ex-wife went from the eighteen-year-old college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was an asshole and left him. As he pieced together the story of his marriage and its end, Matthew began to realize a hard truth: even though he was a decent guy, he was a bad husband. As he shared raw, uncomfortable, and darkly humorous first-person stories about the lessons he'd learned from his failed marriage, a peculiar thing happened. Matthew started to gain a following. In January 2016 a post he wrote--"She Divorced Me Because I left the Dishes by the Sink"--went viral and was read over four million times. Filtered through the lens of his own surprising, life-changing experience and his years counseling couples, This Is How Your Marriage Ends exposes the root problem of so many relationships that go wrong. We simply haven't been taught any of the necessary skills, Matthew explains. In fact, it is sometimes the assumption that we are acting on good intentions that causes us to alienate our partners and foment mistrust. With the humorous, entertaining, and counterintuitive approach of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and the practical insights of The 5 Love Languages, This is How Your Marriage Ends helps readers identify relationship-killing behavior patterns in their own lives, and offers solutions to break free from the cycles of dysfunction and destruction. It is must-read for every partner no matter what stage-beginning, middle, or even end--of your relationship.

A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships

This Is How Your Marriage Ends

L’unico metodo efficace per evitare che l’amore della tua vita diventi il tuo peggior nemico Bisogna ammettere una verità scomoda: essere bravissime persone non ci impedisce di fare schifo come coniugi o partner. Per cambiare le cose, però, è necessario andare oltre le buone intenzioni. Partendo dalle cause che hanno determinato il suo divorzio, Matthew Fray ci invita a riflettere su temi attualissimi come i ruoli di potere in una coppia, l’automatismo con cui si scarica sulle donne l’onere delle faccende domestiche, ma anche le insidie dietro frasi apparentemente innocue, come “non era mia intenzione ferirti” o “te la stai prendendo per niente”. Capire che si può causare un dolore a qualcuno anche non intenzionalmente, infatti, è il primo passo per gettare le basi di una relazione meno tossica, più bilanciata e sana, e mettere il proprio matrimonio al riparo dal fallimento. «Perché mio marito mi odia?» «Perché mia moglie non mi rispetta?» Puoi decidere di comprare questo libro e salvare la tua relazione di coppia «L’uomo che insegna ai mariti come evitare il divorzio.» New York Times «Una guida onesta, divertente e incredibilmente pratica per salvare le nostre relazioni.» Justin Baldoni «Sconvolto dalla fine del suo matrimonio, Matthew Fray ha aperto un blog.
