Is MC making it worse?

[TreadingWater]

H and I have been to 3 MC sessions. I've see the MC a few times before this, by myself. It was his idea to join me about 3 weeks ago. In the first session, she asked what our goal for MC was, and our general plan. I let H pretty much define this, and he came up with:

1. The goal is to better understand what happened. (Note no committment on work on anything.)
2. Make a decision by the end of June as to whether he files for divorce or not.

So, now we're about halfway through, and S says the MC sessions just make him feel sad and even less hopeful about us. He says he will "honor our agreement" and keep going, but he doesn't think it's helping.

So, where I could use help is how to respond to him. I'm thinking the best response is just to let him decide... "I'm happy to continue going to MC, but it's up to you." Then, just wait. He has an appt with her on Wednesday, so would have to take action to cancel it. It's just him this time, because I will be out of town. I actually think a session with just him will be good - it often feels like he's holding back because he doesn't want to hurt me. Maybe he will get more out of it, with me not there.

I actually think the sessions have been helpful with our stated goal - understanding what happened. But I guess it's questionable whether understanding what happened is all that useful until/unless S is interested in fixing things.

Has anyone had good restuls with MC with a still uncommitted S? Any suggestions?
