Prior to my divorce I purchased a copy of "His Needs, Her Needs" in an attempt to save my marriage, which was obviously not successful.

I feel that I am finally in a position to start building a new relationship. I have been dating one person for about 3 months now, and things seem to be going really well. I was cleaning up the other day and ran across the "His Needs, Her Needs" book, and started leafing through it.

Marriage to this new person is not on the horizon. However, as I reread some of the book I thought about how useful this would be to help grow this new relationship, before we even got to that state.

What are your feelings about sharing this book with a new partner even though neither of you have ever spoken about marriage?

Thanks,
P

Use the skills you obtained from reading HNHN to enrich this 3 month budding relationship.
If the R is still alive in another 3 months, mention HNHN as a resource.

Are you having sex?

PeteG,

Interesting question,

On the one hand you don't want this person knowing your game, in the case she is devious and will do anything to get married, and then will change once she is married to you. A person could use MB to conceal who they actually are and their past.

On the other hand MB can lead to sincere and long lasting changes with persons who just had no idea how badly they had handled relationships in the past.

How well do you feel you know this woman and her past?

God Bless
