These are the same steps that Jody has me looking at w/my new relationship. The principle is still the same - the need to develop a solid foundation before jumping into any serious or exclusive relationship.
I thought it would be a bit different as well, but it isn't. The "negative" emotions are more along the line of fear, mistrust, etc. rather than the ones we've experienced during our other R's that brought us to DB in the 1st place.
