One thing to add to the already good advice on this thread. I have been through piecing and it takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. it takes far, far longer than the DB stage and far longer than you think it will.

My H came home. The fireworks didn't go off, the violins didn't play, he didn't take me into his arms and tell me he loves me.

Instead I got a long, long slog of making things better. Some weeks things moved forward, some weeks they slid back. Most of the time things just stayed the same. Things gradully gor better, but by the steps of a tiny baby.

It was very stressful as well for both of us. I full recommend keeping up the GAL, getting away from the house and from H at times. You will need it for you.

Good luck and remember this is a slow, steady race - you may feel you want to sprint to the finish line but now is the time to slow the pace even more. Believe me, it will be worth it!
