About this listen

Good people can be bad partners.

One night during his divorce, after one too many vodkas and a phone-in-therapist's advice to 'journal his feelings', Matthew Fray started a blog. On it, he tried to piece together how his ex-wife went from the college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was an asshole. It turns out that even though he was a decent guy, he was kind of a shitty husband.

As he shared raw, uncomfortable and darkly humorous stories about the lessons he'd learned from his failed marriage, Matthew started to gain a following. Then he wrote a post titled 'She Divorced Me Because I Left the Dishes by the Sink'—it went viral and was read over four million times.

This Is How Your Marriage Ends offers immediately actionable advice to help listeners identify toxic behaviour patterns in their own lives and break them out of the cycles of dysfunction that ruin relationships. Good people can be bad partners—this book is how you change that.

I hope my husband listens to this book. It takes what woman think but puts in a male language. The amount of times I have tried to explain my loneliness & frustrations to husband without success!

Every man should listen before marriage

It is amazing hearing from a male perspective.
I cried while I listened. Having memories of my own marriage collapse. There is real insight in this book but only if the man reads it too.

This is an insightful and uncomfortable read, and I recommend that every long term couple reads it. Here's hoping in string enough to take the advice and put it into practice! I'll probably read it again in a year or so to see how I'm doing.
