Are you going to Al-Anon? If not its something you should consider.
This has to do with how I treat all people. If I know that someone is lying to me, I tell them so. I hear what you're saying about how our progress in each of our individual recoveries is not dependent on the other, and did not mean to suggest otherwise. Doesn't mean I have to accept deceit.

[edit: clarification] The reason this is important for my recovery is that I had stopped doing this with my AW. It's about returning to who I am.
