Mileva is not displeased with her husband, but with her situation. It is reasonable to assume from her character that she feels stifled by marriage; the duties common to running a household prevent her from pursuing her scientific and academic interests. Perhaps she resents her husband a bit for allowing her to fall into this situation, but he is not the primary source of blame for her unhappiness.
