Summary
Details

""I don't want you to leave... but I don't know how to make you stay.""

If you've ever found yourself whispering those words-or thinking them through tears-you're not alone.

In I Don't Want You to Leave: Why Can't You Change?, Licensed Family Therapist Chris Vella brings decades of experience counseling couples through the heartbreak of broken trust, miscommunication, and unmet expectations.

Whether you're hanging by a thread or simply feeling more like roommates than partners, this book is your roadmap back to connection, communication, and hope.

Through real-life stories, step-by-step strategies, and compassionate truth-telling, Chris Vella helps you:

Understand what's really driving your conflict-and why the same fights keep happening. Break the toxic cycles of blame, silence, and resentment that are killing your intimacy. Learn how to communicate to be heard, not just to win. Rediscover emotional safety, rebuild trust, and rekindle love. Decide with clarity whether your relationship can be restored-and how to begin the healing.

With wisdom, empathy, and practical tools that work in real life, Chris guides you to stop saying, ""Why can't you change?""-and start asking, ""What can we change together?""

If your heart says, ""I don't want you to leave,"" this book shows you that love-real, lasting, growing love-can still have the final word.
