Knowing it will be read changes the journal

Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.
The question to decide
Sharing emotion journals reduced misunderstandings, but one person has begun editing entries, conscious that the other will read them. Reducing sharing with others feels like a retreat for the relationship. How do the two of you agree—keep reading the journals together, share only the entries each chooses, or keep records private and talk regularly?
