Was it a good idea to tell her the truth? I don't want lies to be part of our R right now as it is teetering on failure. But what if the truth pushes us over the edge?
O, I learned from Sandi that you should not lie to her. But, you don't have to tell her everything. You can be vague or limit what you tell her and not be dishonest.
As for the truth pushing your M over the edge, I don't think one anything will push it over the edge. As long as you are doing the right thing for you, then that is what is important. B/c in the end, you want a healthy R based on the real YOU, not someone you are trying to be for your W.
