Alison, I never went through piecing but I've heard so many people talk about what hard work it is and I think your thoughts really highlight why. It is a very difficult process to sort out feelings, anxieties, concerns, and how to address and mitigate them moving forward. It sounds like this latest was a tough conversation but I think you handled it well and that it needed to happen. And it also won't be the last I'm sure! Have you considered Retrouvaille? I think the communications techniques taught there would be a big help to you both.
