About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The book is an attempt to figure out where so many people go wrong when it comes to relationships and marriage. It begins with a life crisis that was forced on me as a result of my own behavior.
#2 I was a late-teenage virgin, and I found a Playboy and a Penthouse in my father’s magazine stack. I was curious about what was in the back of his closet, so I brought the videos into the family room and watched them.

Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The book is an attempt to figure out where so many people go wrong when it comes to relationships and marriage. It begins with a life crisis that was forced on me as a result of my own behavior.
#2
I was a late-teenage virgin, and I found a Playboy and a Penthouse in my father’s magazine stack. I was curious about what was in the back of his closet, so I brought the videos into the family room and watched them.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
I am surrounded by attractive women on the plane, and my mind is racing to figure out how to approach them. I am attracted to everyone, and I have nothing with me to keep me occupied. I am nervous about meeting my wife after three years of reading my book.
#2
I see a man with a gray ring of hair around his head and a badge with a D on it. He must see all kinds of people rolling off the plane, either half dead or wasted or trying hard to pretend they're a normal adult.
#3
The last fairy tale I was a part of ended with my ex-girlfriend locking herself in her apartment with a gun, and yelling that she was going to splatter her brains all over the wall.
#4
I am the king of ambivalence. When I’m single, I want to be in a relationship. When I’m in a relationship, I miss being single. And when the relationship ends, I regret everything and don’t know what I want anymore.
#5
The path to figuring out what to do after she likes you back is not logical. The unintended consequences of your infidelity will lead you to free-love communes, modern-day harems, and scientists.
#6
In the hospital, I was given a blood pressure monitor, a pager, and a series of forms to sign. The rules were endless. I was not allowed to have sex with anyone, wear bikinis, or tank tops, and I had to wear a bra at all times.
#7
I am in the doghouse after just twenty minutes at the hospital, because I couldn’t say no to a new sex partner. I am here because I am cheating on my relationship, visiting porn sites, and masturbating.
#8
Check-ins are daily sessions where you report your emotions. They can be crawling dread, total worthlessness, intense regret, and so on. The check-in process is completely arbitrary, and it makes me feel. .
#9
My roommate, Adam, is a perfect example of what not to be. He is tan and muscular, and I am not. He was the most valuable player in a soccer championship, if his T-shirt is to be believed, whereas I was always picked last for sports teams in school.
#10
At the rehab, I met the love addict Carrie, and the vampire Dawn, an alcoholic and indiscriminate drug fiend. They were roommates. The counselor made sure they ate their prescribed calories and didn’t purge in the bathroom.
#11
At the Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting, a man shares his story of having an STD. He says he’s going to have to tell his wife when she comes for family week.
#12
I’m a patient in a place like this. In my lifetime, I never thought I’d be in a monogamous relationship. I was always lucky to have parents who stayed together and never beat me. But I was the one who was crazy.
#13
The author’s friend Rick was
