Relationships which are manipulative in violent, contractual, and/or mutually advantageous ways are bound to lack honesty, openness, responsiveness, responsibility, reliability and/or growth---and fail to be truly intimate, meaningful, significant and/or enduring. Addicts, codependents and other participants in collusive games of mutual self deception deny the truth of the above observations. They stake their lives on the proposition that they can beat the odds and achieve relationships which are intimate, meaningful, significant and enduring while they continue to play their collusive games of mutual self deception. They give their lives to their games, and disintegrate both personally and communally as they sacrifice honesty, openness, responsiveness, responsibility, humility, reliability and growth to the perpetuation of the collusive games. They believe that they can achieve what to other people appears to be impossible; and is impossible. As we approach intimate relationships with all their risks and possibilities we need to consider whether we and/or the other(s) are honest, open, responsive, responsible, reliable, and growing. If not, we will do well not to expect true intimacy and satisfaction. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
