Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 306.84 EAN: 9780975296400 ISBN: 097529640X Label: Aptly Spoken Enterprises Manufacturer: Aptly Spoken Enterprises Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 128 Publication Date: 2004-08 Publisher: Aptly Spoken Enterprises Studio: Aptly Spoken Enterprises Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: A candid (albeit at times tongue-in-cheek) expose of the challenges of remarriage, told from the second wife's perspective. Unlike books written by those who have never experienced being a second wife, the author of Ex-Wives and Ex-Lives is an ex-wife, a second wife, a bio-mom, and a stepmother. Reading this book is like sitting down with an old friend - a remarried friend who knows first-hand what you are going through. You will come away with the assurance that you are not alone in your struggles as a second wife. Even more, you will know that it is not you that is crazy, but rather the crazy-making situation called remarriage. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Did not help me at all.I read the book, took maybe 3 hours total. I needed help with dealing with my husband's ex. Granted, the book is very entertaining, but no real tips to help with a crazy ex-wife. If you want a fun book to read but nothing to help, then this is the book for you. Rating:  - Greatly recommendedI was never married but my husband was twice-divorced with two kids when we met. His first wife with whom he did not have any kids was a mature and decent woman. His second was a nightmare. Their marriage was doomed from the beginning because of the disparity in temperament and intellect. My husband was single for six years when we got married. Well, I lived in hell for the first two years of my marriage. I was all confused, miserable, and was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation ...

One day while Googling I found this amazing book and read it through in one sitting. I know I am one of many ex-wives/next wives, but the fact that I have come to understand how others are going through what I am going through . . . I am not alone. While I didn't experience everything in the book, I certainly identified with it! It is so refreshing to hear an authentic voice from someone who clearly understands my situation, instead ...

This did not help me. Rating:  - More realistic book than many othersI've been in 2 marriages with step-baggage so I have personal experience here. This book was more realistic than others in the feelings a new wife may have, but it really doesn't get into the dirt. I never had bad feelings or jealousy toward my husband's first wife until she barged into our lives and started acting like she was still married to him. In no way should you be, as the author said "the forgotten toy at the bottom of the toy box". If you are, then you're doing it all wrong. I've (after much ... Read More |
