He is inching his way toward me more than at any time in out 9 year marriage.
I have to be more patient I know but man is this hard.
I don't see R talks as the factor that determines whether one is in Piecing or not. I see Piecing as connection restored, which creates the potential for increased communication and problem-solving. It's probably too soon for you two to discuss charged topics around long-standing problems.
It's hard to accept the R as it is, because we would like more from our partners. Working on acceptance, love, compassion, boundaries, and patience is our struggle and practice.
