I'm sorry DFE, if I wasn't clear. There can be relationship talks in piecing, but just be careful about it. In other words, too many talks could overwhelm him. If he is pulling away, or getting overwhelmed and moody, then dial back on the talks. I agree with BrightFuture, to give him a bit of space and time and do some DBing. Just based on how he is acting lately. Try not to be to hard on yourself, you are doing your best! I know piecing can be so hard, stick to it though, I think you are doing good. If you do end up talking tonight, I would say just let him take the lead, hear what he has to say, and validate, validate, validate! lol. Good luck, thinking of you!
