I'm a newbie BS- and this was very interesting. I see both myself and my WS floating inbetween these states throughout our M. Thanks.

I can identify myself in the dysfunctional honesty before and during the A. But can also relate to the healthy honesty since Dday.

BH is in the dysfunctional intimacy categories for everything, those paragraphs are like reading about him. Not sure what to do with that information now.

Chin up. Unwavering. Fight. We can do this.

I check off all of the boxes on the dysfunctional side of the requirements for healthy intimacy.

Having a check list for the healthy side of the equation is very helpful. Thank you for the repost.
