Welcome to piecing, do read other threads here which will help you lots, you are in the right board.

Piecing is hard, sometimes you step back 2 steps for every step forwards, sometimes it seems hopeless and you might even think itis a mistake. Don't despair nor loose hope, you both need to learn to be friends again, it does take time.
I think dates are excellent for you two, as when DB's when she was away, dont' bring up R talk, she's prob still figuring herself out. My H had major personality conflicts, and until he was able to deal w/his own issues there wasnt' much for me, so it was very hard for me at the beginning but slowly, month by month we got closer.
