There have been a few times when people have posted about problems with relationships, but seeing a therapist has not been an option. I usually say something like, "There's got to be some good books out there about relationships, but I don't know of any titles off hand."
I actually tried searching on SF for books about relationships that people would recommend, but I didn't find anything. Maybe there's a thread somewhere about that, so if you find one, please feel free to post a link.
I tried searching online, and here are a few books that I found that were recommended by readers, or were in "The X Best Books About Relationships" articles. I haven't read a damn one of them, so I can't really make recommendations, but this list might be better than nothing.
Toxic Relationships
Tell Me Lies, Carol Lovering
It Ends with Us, Colleen Hoover
Domestic Violence
www.hotpeachpages.net recommends a book called Dragon Slippers
General Relationship Books
Getting the Love You Want, Harville Hendrix
(This is about what you want and need in a relationship)
The Highly Sensitive Person in Love, Elain N. Aron
Difficult Conversations, Stone, Patton, and Heen
(This is about communication in general)
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, John Gray
(This was written by a marriage counselor)
Obsession and Dependency
Addiction to Love, Susan Peabody
(For relationships you can't live without)
