(mrs.cac) By putting the responsibility on your W, you're setting up a power struggle between the two of you, and actually putting yourself in the role of parent. IMO.
I see it exactly the opposite. SM told her their M was failing and her response was to suggest counseling. Then she dropped the ball and wanted him to do all the work of setting it up. That doesn't ring true for someone who sees the problems in their M and is committed to working on them, that smacks of someone reaching for the pat answer to buy themselves time. "Yes honey, I agree that we have a lot of work to do. Why don't you get started doing it?"
