It basically means stopping most communication and just living parallel lives together in the same house.
An analogy that helped me with co-dependent ideas, boundaries and self-growth was this. A marriage is two trees growing side by side with the branches intertwined. They can sway with the wind and in storms together and sometimes one tree loses a limb. But each tree is independent and growing on it's own. So a healthy relationship is living parallel lives together, it's the connection between you two that makes it special. You DB goals should be centered around becoming friends again. What can you do to increase the friendship? Yes keep up the great work on yourself but add some DB goals. Thrive under the pressure.
