LBS is easy, in that all you have to do is get used to not being around the person you love. Piecing...now you have to walk a tightrope, or on eggshells.
In this, do what you are capable of doing, do what you are comfortable doing, do what you can repsect yourself for doing. Dialogue leads to friendship.
You guys want to be friends...but reality is, right now you really aren't. You both are feeling each other out, seeing if that could happen down the road.
If you can forgive, then this is easier down the road, it becomes possible.
As confusing as this is for you right now...this is the first step of MANY that you need to take for a real reconcilliation.
