<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My wife dropped the bomb on me last week that she's profoundly unhappy and considering a divorce. She's worried that the personal faults we have make us incompatible, and that even if we seek counseling and make things better in the short term we'll end up in this situation again.

She and I are absurdly similar. Dated for 2 years before marriage and got along amazingly; we love the same things, want the same things out of life, have similar temperaments, etc. Seemed like getting married was a no brainer.

Unfortunately after living together for awhile, we've discovered some problems. We're both very passive and non-confrontational. When I had things that bugged me (household chores, lack of time together, lack of sex), I would avoid confronting her about them until I couldn't stand it and would break down to her (about every 6 months). Needless to say, I didn't understand the extent this hurt her and why we rarely found solutions.

We also don't communicate very well. We're both very internal people and have trouble opening up on our own. This led to some very terrible feedback loops, the major being with intimacy. She stopped initiating sex (libido changes, wanting me to take charge) which made my anxiety about it worse, leading to long stretches of drought as we both wanted the other to take the lead.

So, my wife is worried that we need different things out of a marriage partner than someone who is exactly the same. Sharing all the positive traits is nice, but sharing all the negatives as well makes her afraid. She's worried as well that since we're both so passive and unambitious we'll never push each other to better ourselves.
<bot>: My wife fears that since we share so many negative qualities (passivity, lack of communication, non-confrontational) we may be fundamentally incompatible as marriage partners, even though we make excellent friends.
