It is not easy! If they seek to be true to themselves and each other with integrity this involves either conventional or unconventional intimacy. To be open and honest with integrity involves some form of intimacy. There is conventional intimacy and there is unconventional intimacy; and there are some forms of intimacy which are somewhat different. Conventional intimacy often entails little truth or integrity; it is governed by rules and social expectations which are coercive. Too often conventional intimacy does not permit Jack and Jill to be true to themselves or to each other. They must fulfill expectations above all else when they seek to fulfill conventional intimacy. Traditional conventions rule. Unconventional intimacy often entails breaking the misleading rules of collusive games of mutual self deception which are characteristic of society and its expectations. Such honest breaking of dishonest rules embarrasses others and leads them to withhold approval of unconventional intimacy. It is difficult to be true to self and other within the context of a community dominated by addictive/codependent/collusive games of mutual self deception. In between conventional and unconventional intimacy there is a narrow boundary which characterizes the possibility of being true to yourself and other in intimate relationships with integrity. It is like two people trying to walk a tight-rope side by side and keeping their balance. Those who succeed in such a feat merit great respect. If they do not receive such respect, only the disintegrative forms of intimacy will be respected. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
