What were the issues you had in the M? What were the problems that YOU had a hand in?
I am still in the process of finishing the book. I have little time to read it at work and at home it's not something I want to whip out to read in front of my boys who think everything is fine. Issues that I've had: Sexual intimacy (frequency, etc)- I have had a hand in making this a problem. I see it as shared. Her not telling me when something is bothering her- I don't think I've had a hand in this, but one never knows I guess. Her making decisions and following through- She can be extremely passive and just not do things (even her father and step mother have commented on this). Which is probably how I do most of the housework at this point: just to get things done. I suppose I have a hand in this as I enable the behavior.
I'll have to think some more. Those are just the ones at the front of my mind.
