I don’t always know what we are spending our money on or where it is going.  I’d like to be more involved in that process

I don’t think you like my family or friends. 

We don’t seem to spend much time together anymore

I would like you to be more honest with me when you are feeling angry or upset

I am not sure I know how you feel about things

It makes me uncomfortable when I feel you are pitting the children or relatives against me

Sometimes I feel you are jealous of my time away from the house

I feel like I am competing for your attention with (friends, job, hobbies, family)

I think you may find people more attractive than you find me

I’d like to improve our sex life (frequency, intimacy, attentiveness etc)

I want to be part of what is happening in your life but you don’t seem to want to tell me about work or problems

I think we have to talk about drugs, drinking, gambling, etc.

I don’t feel like you respect me.  I feel as if you think I am inferior or ignorant

It hurts me when you make fun of me or yell at me in front of other people

I’m not sure anymore if you love me. 

I don’t know if you want to be married to me anymore

Issue

Applies to our Marriage

I feel like we have grown apart and it’s hard to find things to talk about

I worry about your health and happiness and I feel as if you won’t talk to me about these things

It hurts me to know that you talk about me and complain about me to your friends or family.

I am worried that you are having an affair

I think the children know we are unhappy and that is hurting them.  We need to talk to them and help them understand what is going on
