5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly helpful!, December 16, 2002

By 

Mark Spencer Henderson "mspencerh" (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moving On: The Gay Man's Guide (Paperback)

I bought this book about 5 months after my breakup with my ex. I was dealing with it very badly and needed some comfort, support, and, most importantly, information about what was going on. This book provided all of that and more. In addition to being a great book for dealing with the loss of a relationship, it also gives great advice on how to know if you need to break up, how to make future relationships work, and how to "move on".

I found this book so helpful that I bought copies for a number of friends as gifts. Even if you aren't going through a breakup, this book is interesting and very insightful. I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but written in irritating style, November 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Moving On: The Gay Man's Guide (Paperback)

The most useful aspect of Dann Hazel's book is his many individual testimonies. I am trying to deal with a long-term relationship that has suddenly turned very long-distance. I found the testimonies he recounts very helpful in giving a sense of the endless variety of arrangements and issues that couples deal with. This widened my ideas of what's possible and acceptable. His sections on dealing with being alone have helped me deal with suddenly living alone, while my partner is in another country for a year. But I found his exercises after each chapter superficial, and his habit of always talking in terms of "we", rather than "I", "you," or "they," as appropriate became so irritating I almost didn't read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A map for the journey of Moving On.., April 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Moving On: The Gay Man's Guide (Paperback)

It's hard to go back to being a "you" after being an "us" for so long. After the fifteen years of being a "team" existence, I felt like the cellophane wrapper on Dann's dreams. I had lost myself; mainly my own doing. I had reached my cliff and it was time to jump or drown. Dann's book has given me insight into why we broke up and how to find myself again. We remain good friends, both discovering ourselves a little more each day. Moving On a universal view of relationships and the warning signs of trouble and directions to correct the problems, or if that's not possible, move on without self destructing. Thank you, Dann. I'm your biggest fan. Godspeed on this continuing Journey. I'm so grateful for being a part of the first leg....may we all move on together.......
