Severity

My spouse and I have very severe communication problems.

I have very little faith that we are going to be able to resolve our problems.

The problems we have run very deep.

Things have gotten so complex that I'm not sure there is a solution.

Each of our problems has caused us a great deal of pain.

I doubt whether we can reconcile our differences.

It's going to be very hard for us to ever forgive one another for some of the hurt we have suffered.

There is a great deal of intensity to our problems.

We stand very little chance of ever having really good times together.

There is very little respect in this relationship.

I am not sure that we love each other.

There are "wheels within wheels" to our problems - they are so difficult to solve.

I have a sense of despair about our future together.

Sometimes I feel bitter about how things have gotten between us.

When it comes down to it, I am not sure I have very much hope.
