A Break-Up Girl's Best Friend!

This book became my bible during my senior year of college when my boyfriend rejected me and took up with my good friend after almost 5 years together. "Don't Call That Man" is an easy, comforting, and helpful read for any woman feeling the pain of a lost love. It's a perfect go-to resource in those moments of despair, anger, or even temporary insanity. I can't recommend it enough!

Empowers women to let go & move on!

Author & psychotherapist Rhonda Findling hits the nail on the head with this book. It's like talking to a girlfriend who completely understands you, acknowledges your pain, and gives you excellent advice for moving on. Seriously, this book is pure gold!

The best chapter in the book deals with the Ambivalent Man. That is, someone who gives you mixed signals-- being enthralled with you one minute, and then indifferent & rejecting the next. Women tend to run after the Ambivalent Man, assuming that we've done something to turn him off. Ms. Findling assures us that it's not our fault, and most of the time has nothing to do with us. The Ambivalent Man has unresolved emotional issues. He is "emotionally infantile, and has not progressed to the point of being psychosexually mature." (Hmmm, it's insights like this that give women their power back! I say, bring it on!)

The Ambivalent Man is also afraid of intimacy. He is afraid of opening up, for fear of getting hurt. Obviously, he is not going to admit to this. That's ok, because his insecurity screams louder than words. A fear of intimacy shows up as busyness (no time for you), his tendency to act superior, displaying anger or hostility to keep you away, pointing accusatory fingers at you, judging you instead of looking within, etc.

Wow, what an eye opener! It's information like this that will empower women everywhere. As Ms. Findling suggests, "real women don't settle for crumbs!" Instead, set a higher standard for yourself. The Ambivalent Man isn't worth your time and energy.

"Don't Call that Man" is supported with case histories & personal stories to bring the message home. Ms. Findling's writing style is chatty, engaging and fun. She makes you laugh at times, catching you off-guard with the phrase, "Don't call that man!" Thumbs up for this excellent book!

Dont Read this Book

This book is a waste of time. Every chapter is the same. Every chapter recommends that you seek professional help. Otherwise, call your support group. This book has zero original ideas on how to not call your ex, neither on how to move on. Good thing is, the book is very short, so if you did read it, you didnt waste much time.

Women addicted to men

The cover is aweful but the contents are well written with excellent journal questions. It is an easy read and is a good pre read to Women Who Love Too Much, which is excellent but more meaty and dense. The two can go together with this one making Norwood's book more accessible.
