By Tanni Deb
When you’re struggling in an unfulfilling partnership with someone you love, you may not know whether it’s best to move on or stay together as a couple. Communications specialist and author, JAC Patrissi helps support women who are uncertain of their current relationship or are healing from a destructive love life with your partner. Her latest book – co-written with author Lundy Bancroft – Should I Stay or Should I Go?: A Guide to Knowing if Your Relationship Can – and Should – be Saved, offers guidance to help women understand the path in which their relationship is going and how to move on – with or without their partners.
We had a chance to interview Patrissi about her book, and this is what she had to say:
What made you choose to write about this topic?

Heading to a big sports game is the perfect opportunity to show that you can “hang;” so nix the heels and miniskirt. Unless you have serious ties to one team, figure out what team he’s rooting for and go with that; it will show you pay attention to him and hey, it makes dressing a little easier. Wear jeans and a cute crewneck sweatshirt or an awesome vintage sweater in his team's colors. Pair with trendy flat, lace-up boots, retro sunglasses and a small bag. Go get ‘em tiger!

Sports, beer, and a girl at your side, could it get much better? Show off your manliness in a pair of dark jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt and fleece jacket. Add a pair of cool, retro kicks and aviator sunglasses and you’ll be the epitome of suave.
Wayfarer Sunglasses | Faux Fur Vest | Jeans | Sweater | Bag | Riding Boots
Mother Nature can be unpredictable in the fall so dress in layers. Whether you’re going apple picking or beer tasting, stand-out from the crowd in a pair of colored, skinny jeans or cords and boots. Pair that with a long-sleeved tee or sweater (depending on the weather) and a fabulous faux fur vest. Add a cross-body satchel and don’t forget your wayfarers for a day outdoors!
Pull Over | Boots | Cord Pant | Wayfarer Sunglasses | Button Down
Men, stay comfy and warm in casual corduroy pants, a casual button-down shirt and half-zip sweater. Keep your feet toasty in a pair of chukkas or casual boots, and protect your eyes from the fall sunshine with a pair of retro wayfarers. And gentlemen, take advantage of the cold: If your date is looking a little chilly, put your arm around her and warm her up for a bit, they’ll appreciate the gesture.

Ooo la la dinner and drinks, huh? Time to play dress-up. While you get to flaunt your chic style on this date, don’t forget it’s the first time you will be hanging out together so you don’t want to reveal too much. Try a fitted black dress and cute cropped jacket with understated heels. Throw on a pair of sunglasses, grab a clutch or cute bag and you’re ready to go!
Belt | Dress Shirt | Khaki Pants | Jacket | Dress Shoes
Guys, put your best-dressed foot forward for this sophisticated outing. Opt for a pair of dress pants, dress shirt and sport coat — no tie.
