This is one of those books that I heard of a while ago, and knew I should read it, but didn't want to because I knew I'd see my marriage mapped out. I'm finally at the point I can read it without curling into a ball and sobbing...no, really, I've been past that point. I just hadn't gotten around to ordering the book until now.
Anyway, next up on the work on me book list is he's just not that into you. Yep, the book that became the movie. Yep, the book about how to tell when a guy just isn't into you. Like I said, for the longest time I was afraid to read it, because I really didn't want to learn just how much my now-ex wasn't into me. After all, I did finally get some clues when I caught him cheating. Okay, so the clues were kinda big, like 2x4 big. But I did finally catch on. Did I really need it spelled out in black and white?
At that point, well no, I didn't. But I really do wish this book had been around decades ago, and I had read it another lifetime ago. One of the key points in chapter 2 that really stood out for me:
Okay, onward and upward. I get the feeling there's going to be the big neon "he wasn't that into you" sign in each and every chapter of this book. Seriously, how in the hell did I ever manage to get married to this guy?

If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn't follow through on little things, he will do the same for big things. Be aware of this and realize he's okay with disappointing you.Wow! Just wow! Definitely hit this point before I got engaged to ex, and quite probably it was a part of the entire relationship.
