Piecing is almost harder than before...

I've thought about that comment "well, I know that's not where we are at the moment, though" because sometimes my W will say that. I think it's a little defense mechanism but ALSO she realizes that I've made some changes and don't want things to happen too quickly.

I take that as a positive comment. Think about it. The more you guys go through this "dance" as my therapist calls it, the more you may have a deeper love for each other. As long as it keeps progressing.

man, I think as long as you keep seeing improvements, no matter how small, you're on the right track!
