This book gives language to a mysterious problem that plagues many marriages. It is a horrible problem that doesn't make any sense and causes so much pain to the spouse that will not improve unless treated. I thank God for this book and for the treatment that is now available through groups and many willing accountability partners who attend Intimacy Anorexia 12 step groups and/or Partners group for the spouse. If you think you or your husband or wife may may have this, please get help as soon as possible. The biggest sign for you to know if you spouse has this is that you will find yourself telling people that you feel like your spouse is your roommate and not your husband or not your wife. If you say this about your spouse, there is a good chance your spouse is deliberately and intentionally avoiding intimacy with you.

An astoundingly accurate analysis of life with an Intimacy Anorexic. Are you in a relationship where your spouse or significant other has been growing increasingly cold or distant over time, even as you do more and more to try and please him or her? Do you rarely or never receive thanks, praise, or an apology from this individual? If these things all sound all too familiar, this book is a definite read. All of the things that you thought were isolated issues have a single, root cause: the addiction, to emotional withholding, on the part of your significant other that is as real and as deadly as food anorexia, alcoholism, or any other pattern of pathological devotion to destructive behavior. In this one volume, you can begin to understand the foundation of these issues, take steps to protect yourself and begin to heal, and hear the voices of other men and women whose partners have driven them to despair and believing that they are crazy. Take the step today of affirming your own sanity if you are caught in such a relationship, or healing yourself if you suspect you are an Intimacy Anorexic yourself.

You are not crazy. If you feel like you are doing everything possible to please your spouse and try to maintain a close, emotional connection (not the business relationship type) only to feel like you are getting NOWHERE, then you may be dealing with an Intimacy Anorexic (IA) spouse/partner. If you have tried all the regular, practical marriage advice that seems to work "wonders" for your friends and leaves you in a tailspin of questions such as "what did i do wrong? why isn't this working for me? what is wrong with me? why can't we connect?!!!" Then you need to read this book. Very few people in the typical marriage counselling circles understand what it means to live with an IA. If you have tried counselling only to feel like you walk away with the same advice of "just try harder, find his love language, submit more, be less sensative, trust God, hang on, have more sex bla bla bla" then you NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. Understanding WHAT your problem IS can bring very much personal comfort even if you can't solve your spouses problem. This book is a great first step for getting more help in a marriage that seems to be going nowhere but farther apart. It is especially difficult for friends and family to believe that you are even having a marriage problem because Intimacy Anorexics don't have a problem being nice to everyone else, just their spouse, making you feel crazy. Dr. Weiss does a fantastic job explaining the hidden epidemic of Intimacy Anorexia and includes many examples of other people who have personally experienced an IA spouse. If you resonate with this book, there is still hope for you! Heart 2 Heart counselling has a wonderful team of highly trained specialist and support groups and recovery materials.Read more ›

The information in this book is revolutionary and great. But sheesh, take a little time for editing. Lots of grammatical and print errors in the book. Some chapters are overbearingly long while others are more simple. Good to see Weiss bringing this issue into the addiction mainstream. But some of the editing errors were distracting.

I highly recommend this book for those who desire to grow closer to God and are willing to take an introspective look into their heart. Every page may not address your issue(s), but some will. Doug Weiss offer hope and healing for those who are willing to allow God to change them.

I've worked the Twelve Steps in another program and Intimacy Anorexia is the next logical step. I appreciate this book. I also purchased the workbook that goes with it, which has exercises to complete that are the essence of healing.
