The Desire Protocol Review

It seems that almost every week I have an individual on my therapy couch who is upset over a lost relationship. There are usually tears and statements such as "I know that I wasn't a good partner but I never knew that s/he would leave!" Often this statement ends with the word "again".


Then the person who was left talks about all the things that s/he has done to try to win the other person back - things that they should have done in the past that would likely have kept the relationship alive. They purchase trips to the Caribbean and arrange to have vows renewed, send flowers, obsessively write text messages pledging undying love and offering promises. (These usually fall on deaf ears). They talk about how much they miss the other person and how they have sworn off drinking, affairs, pornography or other vices that led to the destruction of the partnership.

They blame the other person who they accuse of being unreasonable because forgiveness is not immediate and the void that they feel is not filled in the way they think it should be filled.

A person doesn't usually leave a relationship impulsively or after the first little problem. In fact, most people put up with neglect and/or abuse for a very long time before deciding that they need to make changes in lifestyle that they hope will result in better health and happiness. In fact, they usually try repeatedly to communicate verbally or in writing about their needs and may even suggest counselling as a way of resolving issues before they even think about leaving the relationship.
