I echo what AS said about piecing. Maybe if we could draw a line it would be
"both parties decide to work on the marriage = reconciliation.
"both parties work on themselves towards rebuilding & improving their marriage = piecing."
But I'm spitballing here^^.
Or maybe piecing is stage 2 of reconciling. As for the validating your w's negatives
- this is just a "PR" trial lawyer's comment,
don't repeat the specific negative remarks. You can say "that sounds painful" without saying
the words "dirty/spoiled". The repetition tense to reinforce them. Like Nixon saying "I'm not a crook."
He could have said "I'm honest", instead. See the difference?
Btw, in my opinion she's looking for reassurance and hoping things can be good, even beautiful.
So if you (both) get IC and learn what going "from this day forward" means, - letting go of the past - perhaps this could be a marriage that you both find more depth to.
Sure worth trying. And remember how moving it is for the mother to see her kids lovingly interacting with their dad.
I think it's an emotional turn on, so to speak.
