He's right. The relationships, even when you are piecing are not easy. You can be extremely lonely and it can feel very intense. I didn't have another person involved, but I had some terrible comments, and hearing endearing words are very important to me. I didn't hear them and did hear some very disheartening words: "I just don't feel the way you want me to feel"
I hear the words I want to hear now, I hear "ILY's" all the time, I hear future plans, how sweet I am, and he follows it up with his actions. I've learned he's more of an actions guy than a words guy, and that's the thing that kep me hanging in there. Even when I didn't hear the words I wanted to hear, I often saw the actions.
So if you're being a friend and a partner, that's exactly what worked for me.
Keep on keepin' on.
