Together Since We Were 15...Now Piecing

[MrBond]

Here's where you need to understand that it is in this stage that you have step up the DB things you've learned. This includes GAL.

You are going back to the same behaviors that caused him to question the relationship in the first place. If you continue to pressure and not have him come to you, he will leave again.

I can't stress this enough. So many people find themselves in Piecing and then throw their DBing efforts out the window. You have to continue them more than ever.

I understand that you want him around all the time, but he needs a little bit of leeway. Tell him with what you're comfortable with (how often he can get out) and discuss. You are pressuring him based on YOUR expectations. Well he has expectations as well. It's important to hear those as well. After all he was the one who left.
