In my case, I think some of what got us here was a long-term pattern of me not asking the tough questions because I didn't want to hear the answer. I think this question is more "uncomfortable" than tough, but I am looking forward to both of us having to answer some tough questions. I have been doing it and I think it has been good for me and I expect more to come my way as well.
I got 1/2 way through that book and had to stop as well. Our MC is using it as the basis for our therapy and I felt like I had an unfair advantage because I knew the concepts and W didn't. Great book though and wish I had read it 10 years ago!
