• The partners are more likely than most to share a common mistrust of emotional intimacy.
• Romantic unions in which one or both partners experienced the many betrayals associated with addiction in the past will judge that what they don’t know about their partner will eventually hurt them.

• The maintenance of the faulty belief that each partner keep his or her own side of the street clean is sufficient to maintain romantic health.
