I know she's trying to save her and everything but with her new plan regarding the Book, you never can tell. At least let her finally, truly admit that she caused her own unhappiness.

As has already been said, we've seen so much growth from Regina. She's gone from letting the fire of revenge burn her to trying to find another way to make her life better. (Albeit a juvenile one. Instead of writing her own story, she's relying on the book, assuming it has some mystical power over everyone's lives) She still has a long way to go, but she's come so far and it's unfair to ignore that. Marian just kind of throws it all into chaos with her very presence.
