WE NEED TO TALK are four words that change everything.This book begins where most stories of separation end - not with blame or resolution, but with the quiet, destabilising aftermath of a relationship falling apart.WE NEED TO TALK - The Break Up is a deeply honest narrative of a marriage ending, an affair that complicates rather than explains, and the long, often unspoken consequences that follow - for both partners, and for the children caught in between.Written with restraint and emotional clarity, Part One follows the gradual unravelling of a relationship from multiple perspectives. No one is villainised. No one is excused. What emerges instead is a portrait of how ordinary lives fracture - and how people are left to carry what remains.Part Two steps beyond the story to address what readers often face themselves after separation: shock and delayed griefguilt, anger, and unresolved blamethe invisible emotional load carried by childrenidentity loss after marriage endslearning to be alone without being lonelywhat healing actually looks like over timeThis is not a guide that promises quick recovery.It does not offer slogans or false reassurance.It offers recognition.For readers navigating divorce, separation, or the long emotional shadow of a relationship ending, this book provides something rare - truth without judgement, guidance without instruction, and the reassurance that rebuilding does not require forgetting.This is a book for people who did not leave unchanged - and are learning how to live anyway.
