R. Lampard & K. Peggs 
Identity and Repartnering After Separation 

This book examines the lives and repartnering behaviour of former spouses and co-habitees, groups pivotal to recent marital change. Focusing on contemporary Britain, it examines these people’s experiences of being single, their orientations towards past and new relationships, and their self-identities in the context of a couple-orientated society.
