Nice to see you posting. I try to remember to check the piecing forum for you.
I am sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. I am sure this whole reconnection is emotional.
I am sooo not a counsellor but it seems a strange thing that the counsellor would make a suggestion for you both to live apart. I get the take it slow thing but if he was already moving in, why get him to move out? In any event I am not the professional. But I can understand your misgivings. Trust does not just come back automatically.
Melting I hope your date goes swimmingly tonight. Slow and steady. Come here when you need to talk.
