Hard-hitting divorce lawyer James Sexton shares his insights and wisdom from the front lines of divorce to keep you out of his office and improve your relationship.
If You're in My Office, It's Already Too Late. James Sexton knows this. After dealing with more than a thousand clients whose marriages have dissolved over everything from an ill-advised threesome with the nanny to the uneven division of carpool duties, he also knows all of the what-not-to-dos for couples who want to build―and consistently work to preserve―a lasting, fulfilling relationship. Described by former clients as a “courtroom gunslinger†and “the sociopath you want on your side,†Sexton tells the unvarnished truth about relationships, diving straight into the most common marital problems. These usually derive from dishonest―or nonexistent―communication. Even when the alleged reason for separation is one spouse’s new “personal trainer,†there’s likely a communication problem that predates the fitness kick. Symptom and root cause get confused all the time.
Sexton has spent his career working with spouses-to-be-no-longer. Reverse engineering a relationship can help to identify and fix what does not work. Ever feel like you’re holding back criticism of your spouse because you just can’t have that fight right now? Sexton will tell you to “Hit Send Now.†Maybe you aren’t as adventurous as you used to be, or need some "you time," but for some reason it seems weird or exhausting to change up the routine now. Sexton knows where that mentality leads and offers viable alternative paths to take. Though he deals constantly with the heartbreak of others, he still believes in romance and the transformative power of love. This book is his opportunity to use what he has learned to help couples that aren’t so far gone get back on track.

"Funny. Scary. Spot on. Hard hitting. Beyond helpful. This book deserves all these accolades and more. The title alone is brilliant and the book more than lives up to its title. I am a marriage therapist of thirty years and can attest to the dark side of coupledom that exists beyond our romantic wishes. Though I would differ with some of Mr. Sexton's conclusions, and think that some of his advice is very hard for broken people to pull off, I have already given away lots of copies of this book to clients and friends. I dare not mention how I differ with Mr. Sexton because he is a hard hitting lawyer with martial arts experience. I am most often a punch pulling kind psychotherapist who also has a bone disease. Perhaps if I take Mr. Sexton out to dinner in Manhattan I can talk over the subtle differences and enjoy more stories from his vast experience."

- Funny. Scary. Spot on. Hard hitting. Beyond helpful. This book deserves all these accolades and more. The title alone is brilliant and the book more than lives up to its title.

Though I would differ with some of Mr. Sexton's conclusions, and think that some of his advice is very hard for broken people to pull off, I have already given away lots of copies of this book to clients and friends.

- I heard this guy on a few interviews and he is so eloquent and thoughtful about his words. He encouraged people to read his book before they get married and I can tell you that it has a wealth of information ! Definitely should be a prerequisite as reading material prior to getting a marriage license.
- Got married a month ago; this book is wonderful. It’s full of practical, actionable advice to keep you from screwing up your marriage, with plenty of hilarious stories and anecdotes inbetween. I only wish I had read it prior to getting married. I will be purchasing this book as an engagement present for all of my recently-engaged friends (I’m of “that ageâ€).
Word of caution - if you’re offended by foul language, this definitely isn’t the book for you. - James Sexton offers a very realistic yet loving assessment and advice for partners in matrimony. The book validated my personal definition of marriage if you’re lucky, it’s the best second job you’ll eve have.
- This is undoubtedly a very different sort of relationship book than most. As the author states, it’s a “how-not-to†book, not a “how-to†book. Several of the ideas herein are very intriguing and could only come someone who is well versed in how marriages fall apart. The anecdotes are also quite entertaining.
- The book is 40 something chapters of basically repeating information and antidotes over and over with little variance, only 2 amusing stories in between to break up the repetition. At the end of the book the author can't help but get political in a thinly veiled attempt to take political shots. Furthermore, he doesn't even understand the context of what he's trying to take a shot at. Every once in a while you find a great read that you will never forget...this is not one of those times.
- Just finished the book and wow!! Everyone who is married or plan to be in a long term relationship must read this! I laughed a lot and gained wisdom on the anatomy of divorce and that how it could have been avoided or having a less brutal ending....brilliant and captivating stories.....
- would definitely recommend and looking forward to doing another read on it.
