Midlife divorce is skyrocketing, and women are initiating divorce in higher numbers than ever before in history. Psychotherapist Abby Rodman surveyed hundreds of women who divorced in midlife to find out the "whys", "whats", and "hows" of their experiences.

Packed with personal stories, fascinating statistics, helpful checklists, expert advice, and practical tips, Without This Ring is a necessary and critical listen at any stage of midlife divorce - whether you're just starting to consider it or you've already come out on the other side.

Abby Rodman is a relationship coach, an author, and a speaker who's renowned for her focus on midlife dating, marriage, and divorce. Abby is regularly sought out by print, broadcast, and online media outlets for her expertise on relationship issues. She has also successfully lived through and beyond her own midlife divorce.

Note to audiobook listeners: I heard you! So, I'm happy to introduce a new and improved audiobook version of Without This Ring for 2020. Now professionally recorded and edited, this "facelift-ed" version includes even more information, advice, and practical tips for surviving (and thriving) through midlife divorce.

Great book to evaluate if you want a divorce or not and encouraging if you decide you do want a late divorce.

Very real and applicable book for any lady

Very real and applicable book for any lady going through midlife separation. It provides research and relevant stories.

Truly Inspiring

This book articulates all of the thoughts and feelings and emotions that come along with this topic so well. Reading it was truly empowering and helped me understand and feel understood. It helped me realize I am not alone on such a lonely journey through divorce and the grief that comes from being in an unhappy marriage.

Starting to move forward, 45 years later

I wish I’dI understood my emotional dependency on my family at a very early age and I wish I’d told family members to kiss off also at an early age. I ran away via marriage. Worst mistake, I knew it then and 45 years later i’m working on loving myself, forgiving myself, and making amends. I hope to learn how to dream and to dream out loud.

WOW - I'm going to listen again and again

Any additional comments?

This book was like having my own personal counselor in my ear every day, guiding me through what is proving to be the most difficult time of my life. If you're facing the possibility of divorce, or are in the midst of one, or even if you are post divorce and need some positive reinforcement, this book is for you.

A good guide

As I begin to navigate the waters of divorce this book was helpful. Abby helped validate my thoughts and feelings and identified some additional steps to consider as I move through this journey.

helpful and honest

This was exactly what I needed when I need it. I highly recommend listening to this book if you too need it.

Loved this book!

this book helped me quite a bit. I liked the content, and I liked the authors narration. My only complaint would be that the sound quality was awful. I wish they would re-record, or somehow digitally remaster this recording.
