Honest lovers will not respect and honor manipulative considerations which inhibit honest intimacy. People who do respect and honor such manipulations are not honest lovers, and there are reasons to suspect their motivations. The disintegrative processes of addicts and codependents pertain to the breakdown of the kind of trust which healthy people accord to honest lovers. In the disintegrative process the trust of honest love is replaced by PROCESSES WHICH FAVORABLY ENTERTAIN: dishonesty, manipulation, deception, pretense, delusion, disguise, falsehoods, fraud, secrecy, etc. AND SO ALSO THEY FAVORABLY ENTERTAIN: suspicion, doubt, incredulity, questioning, rejection, distrust, challenges, skepticism, reservations, hesitation, and confusion. The two kinds of disintegrative processes reflect upon each other; dishonesty reflects distrust, and distrust reflects dishonesty, each seeing its reflection in the other as the justification for itself. Each by its own nature justifies the other, to the other, by the way it reflects upon the other. Each aspect of the disintegrative process progresses in proportion to its mirror image, and so the whole process is an exponential decay process in which entropy and confusion grows exponentially through the decay processes of disintegration; integrity decays exponentially as entropy grows exponentially.
