If it seems too good to be true, it is! Does he know far more about you than you know about him? Is he often in situations where you can't reach him? Are you still waiting to meet his family and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book will scare you. The case studies that Dr. Caldwell uses to explain how women get involved with Romantic Liars are real eye-openers. Instead of just dismissing deceptive relationships as mistakes on the part of the woman, Caldwell shows how our society provides a perfect basis for deception. In fact, one of the most valuable aspects of Caldwell's work is that she doesn't blame the victim.With the compelling and intriguing stories as a backdrop, Caldwell presents a thoughtful analysis of the dynamics of deceptive relationships---how they got started, how they are maintained and how they frequently end. Like I said, this book will scare you---once you begin to understand how vulnerable to deception all of us really are.
Finally Some Answers

After four months of a relationship that was getting more confusing every day, I read this book. Finally I started to understand that I was involved with someone who had been lying to me all along. This book really helped me understand what was happening in the relationship, why it was happening, and what I could do about it. Highly recommended!
This Book is Overdue

If you are dating and looking for an honest relationship...read this book. Caldwell writes in the first person and gets real close and personal. You feel as thought she is sitting in a room talking to you about recognizing the signs that tell you he is not being truthful. While the book focuses on men only...you have to ask yourself ....why? Surely women lie too. However, we are quickly made to understand why it is that men do most of the "stretching of the truth" to get what they want, "adding to and taking from" to cover their conduct. If you have been in one of these relationships, the author does not leave you with wondering - "so I've been in a deceptive relationship, now what?" She takes you through recovery and shows you ways to avoid falling into the same pattern of behavior. Caldwell also tells us how to discover whether or not our current relationships are honest ones. It is a subject that the author takes very seriously and a subject that needs to be addressed as a phenomenon that has been ignored and taken for granted. Excellent read.
A REAL LOOK AT ROMANTIC DECEPTION

Finally, somebody has written a book about a topic that is all too familiar....the big time and serious lying that goes on in a lot of relationships. I found this book was the first I'd read that isn't just about superficial lying and isn't a superficial treatment of the subject. Dr. Caldwell really takes the subject apart and backs up what she says with lots of case studies. More than that, she offers solid advice about what to do when you're mixed up with a liar.In my opinion, every woman should read this book! Thanks!
