Semi-Dual Relations
Relationships of incomplete complementarity. Delayed support, the emotional sphere suffers. As a result, there is not the same warmth in the relationship as with a dual; the relationship is colder.
Composite relationships of Duality plus Extinguishment. Things are good, and then suddenly partners can start shutting each other down — arguments arise out of nowhere, seemingly over nothing. They may criticize each other, but then calm down, and once again things become almost comfortable, like with true duals. Then the arguments return — and it's impossible to stop this cycle, these emotional ups and downs can't be eliminated, and there's a recurring loss of understanding for no clear reason, but then everything gets back on track and the relationship becomes good again.
Relationships for comfortable work—focused on logical tasks, not psychological or ethical matters.

Characteristics: Consistency of relationships.
Requires negotiation, explanation. With a Dual, you shouldn't explain "I did this because…"—you should feel them and emphasize the ethical side of the relationship. But with a Semi-Dual, explaining why is necessary, and once you do, the relationship improves.
