Thanks for the input Buxom. I think the challenge for me is that I agree that would definitely be a bad move with an actively wayward/disrespectful spouse, but some of those guidelines change when/if you're piecing. For instance, asking for device passwords, suggesting MC, etc can go from being unhelpful mistakes (when spouse is actively rebellious) to a helpful part of the healing process when the spouse is willing to put in the effort to break contact with AP and do what is needed to rebuild things.

So my thought is it becomes more a question of a) is the sitch really piecing? and b) if piecing, how much "transparency" is too much?

That's where my uncertainty comes from.
