ABSTRACT
Falling out of love is a poorly understood yet relatively common relationship experience, with big ramifications. If you are curious about romantic love, or more specifically, why people fall out of romantic love and what can be done about it, this book is a must-read!
The Introduction provides a cover-to-cover overview, including a description of the author’s main purpose – to explore the complex phenomenon of falling out of romantic love (FORL). Readers will be given practical insight and answers to popular questions about FORL in intimate partner relationships. Helpful recommendations will be offered for everyday individuals, couples, relationship professionals, educators, and students.
The Introduction reminds the reader that while this book primarily addresses FORL in the USA, the information provided is globally applicable. Further, although most of the research references heterosexual relationships, it is useful for the LGBTQIA+ community as well.
In these first pages, the reader begins to understand that there is not one, but numerous pathways leading to FORL, as the author unpacks her research, education, and decades of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist. Readers are encouraged to hold their thought lightly and to snuggle in for a conversation among friends.
