sometimes I don't have a clue what piecing is either. Hence the original name of my thread "Is this piecing?" lol
I felt it in my gut is all I can say. The constant anger and blame that was fired at me for so many months subsided. We entered MC. HOwever I still don't have a full commitment, I have "I don't think we have a chance we were doomed from the start" all that crap. BUt he said he would try. He said he'd give it a chance in MC to see if it feels different. SO I'm Dbing my butt off and feeling like I have a genuine chance.
This differs a lot from being in the place early on when you're dumped and just hoping they will talk to you like a normal person, let alone not file for D.
Ask others - I would be curious actually how they see piecing. Good luck.
