Piecing - where to go from here?

[gutwrenching]

Patience is tough. Trust is tough. It will not be quick. So you know what you need to work on...patience and trust...so do that...actions speak louder than words and he needs to see you doing your part to give him more confidence to do his work too. Hopefully your MC can give you both some things to work on...so you see "actually working on things" and he can see progress.

He needs to see that you are the greener grass, that you are the best option
