Ok,
Clear your head. Disable or delete your current form rules involving these fields.

Hands off key board.
Pick up pen. Write down in a clear sentence when Field 2 should show. Put down pen.
Create form rule 2.

Write the rule from the field's perspective and not the perspective of your mental scenarios. If there are groups of fields that will behave identically you can put them in a section together and do the form rule in the section.
