Very nice SM34, glad to see you back. There are two books on power imbalance that you might enjoy, the first one is called "The Solo Partner: Repairing Your Relationship on Your Own" by Phil Deluca. This book is *excellent* and I highly recommend it. It's currently out of print but there are many copies floating around an you can still buy it on Amazon in hard copy.

The other book is "The Passion Trap" by Dean Delis. That one wasn't quite as helpful with regard to telling you "what to do about it" but it can help you significantly with awareness.

Relationship imbalance is a major challenge for sure. If your spouse knows you want it more and uses that to manipulate you, it makes for a very very difficult relationship.
