#108: How Do I Distinguish Healthy Behavior VS Unhealthy Behavior With My Partner In Recovery?

Crystal's Question: "My partner and I are 6-ish months into treatment for porn addiction and betrayal trauma. I know very little about his triggers and preferences with his porn addiction. I haven't asked and he hasn't shared. I think I like not knowing. But I wonder if I'm in denial and avoidance or if I'm wise to protect myself from developing more of my own triggers. Are there things I need to know or can I do my recovery work without certain knowledge? When do I know I need a question answered to help me move forward vs how can I identify if it's really not necessary for me to move forward?"
