My H's T gave him this assignment. Ask me to list 5 ways that he or I contribute to the crisis in our marriage. I don't know what his T means by crisis. What do you think crisis in a marriage would mean? I think of it as big not everyday things that happen like for us..the disclosure of his porn addiction and our prior fertility issues... But was thinking of responding to it as if crisis means things that make me question my H's love/committment
The other difficult point for me is that I know once I write these out for H that he will most likely discuss them in group. How would you feel about that?
Is anyone else's H in individual or group therapy at the same time as you were? Were you able to handle the "chaos" of the emotions therapy brings up with both of you in therapy?

based on what you posed and the kind of group he is in, my guess would be the crisis of his turning to porn...how do you and he contribute to why he turned to porn..
usually when a therapist asks something like this the crisis is the reason why the client is in treatment.
example Im in a group therapy for dissociation problems. so the crisis in my wifes and my relationship would be how and why dissociation affects my wife and I, how we contribute or dont contribute to my problem of having dissociation.
Another example someone who is in AA their "crisis" would be their drinking and how that affects their relationships.
