CHARACTERISTICS OF DYSFUNCTIONAL COUPLES

• 1. Being together and unhappy is safer than being alone.
• 2. It is safer to be with other people than to be alone and intimate with our partner.
• 3. If I really let my partner know what I've done or what I'm feeling and thinking [who I am], she/he will leave me.
• 4. It is easier to hide [medicate] our feelings through our addictive/compulsive behavior than it is to express them.
• 5. Being enmeshed and totally dependent with one anotheris perceived as being in love.
• 6. We find it difficult to ask for what we need, both individually and as a couple.
