Unreceptive spouse	.31^***	.19^*	.11	.17^*
Difficult spouse	.32^***	.25^***	.23^**	.02
Spouse is too dependent	.12	.27^***	.37^***	−.10
Spouse does not need support	.27^***	−.07	.02	.17^*

Concern about spouse changing	.28^***	.04	.02	.08
It is too stressful	.14^†	.27^***	.09	−.08

Note. N = 174 to 177. Tabled values are standardized regression coefficients (βs).

For this dependent variable, there was a significant support-recipient anxiety × avoidance interaction.
