Many of us feel as if we are stuck in an endless loop of a botched romantic comedy: the past relationship that went wrong seems to spell trouble for the future, even if we find the right person. In "Better Love Next Time," J.M. Kearns offers help with the pain of a break up, and more than that, he explains how to understand and heal the damage it has done to you. He shows you a simple (and entertaining) way to diagnose what went wrong, so history won't have to repeat itself; and then reveals how to uncover the "manual for happiness" that your own heart has written in your past, and apply it to your future. Laced with colorful vignettes and as compassionate as it is honest, "Better Love Next Time" ensures that when you do find Mr. Right, you will arrive whole, renewed and ready for a good relationship, and then helps you steer it to success.

THIRTEEN WARNING SIGNS THAT A RELATIONSHIP IS SOON TO END:

You feel like crying when the other person is nice to you. The sound of him eating fills you with a homicidal rage. You don't feel like yourself anymore, when he's around: your personality feels phony or distorted. You find yourself being bluntly honest, objecting to his quirks that you used to put up with. (Could it be you have nothing left to lose?) You have trouble planning anything for next year (or next month). Your partner thinks he has told you things when he hasn't. (You're getting ready for dinner and he says, "That bonus check should be here by Thursday," and you say "What bonus check?" and he says, "I thought I told you about that..." This could mean you are no longer his primary ear.) Your social lives become completely separate. You fight a lot more than usual; or worsethan that, you stop fighting completely. (It's an ominous silence when one person just lets thing slide, no longer wanting to engage with the other about the juicy issues that come up in your life together.) To get away from your partner, you go to a favorite cafe. As you're settling down with your latte, you spot him in the corner, cradling his. You are laughing with a good friend one day and you realize you haven't laughed like that for months or years. It becomes painful for you and your partner to spend time with happy couples (or watch them on the screen). You lie in bed at night inventorying which household possessions are yours. (The food processor? Definitely.)

13. You stop using your partner as a sounding board or a shoulder to cry on, because you assume he won't understand.
