Its only been two weeks, two MC sessions. He really thinks there is a quick fix and now that its become clear that there isn't he doesn't want to give anymore effort.
You're right -- he does think there is a quick fix, because he still doesn't empathize with your feelings and what you've dealt with emotionally for X amount of years. It's not that he refuses to do it, he is just ignorant to the sitch from your perspective (he is in selfish mode) and therefore CAN'T do it. I was the exact same way, and I forced W to make a decision to D or get back together and work it out after less than 2 months separation. In my mind, that was sufficient time for her to decide on how she felt, but in her mind she needed at least the 9 months she signed her apt lease for. She of course said D then "if you're going to make me choose now." Man do I wish I'd have given her the space and time she needed and had asked me for. But, like your DH, I was being selfish and only thinking about how much "I" was hurting.
Please understand that he isn't where most of the LBS's on this site are at, and that most of us were in DH's shoes at one point too (like nomo said, I think). It will take time for him, and I do think that IF YOU CAN MUSTER THE STRENGTH TO KEEP TRYING, you should recommend doing a Healing Separation (more on this in a minute). It may actually take the both of you physically separating for a while for him to come around. I know you want to make this M work (that's why you're here, right?), but also understand how emotionally exhausted you are. Maybe try to ride things out until C gets back and try that plan previously mentioned. Then if things don't work, maybe suggest the separation.
If you want to look into the "Healing Separation" that I mentioned above, you can find it in the appendix of a book titled "Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends" by Bruce Fisher. It is an outlined document that explains a) what a healing separation is, b) who a healing separation is for, and c) how to go about doing one. It even has a detailed generic "contract" for both parties in a healing separation to read and fill out together. I really liked the whole notion (and I think you and DH would too), but by the time I came across it my pleas landed on deaf ears.
Please look into it -- IMO it is worth trying (esp in your sitch since you are a WAS willing to try to make your M work).

Now because we went to 2 MC sessions and nothing has changed yet (the whole takes time thing seems to be lost on him) he doesn't want to work on it anymore...WTF?
Oh believe me -- he wants to work on it. He is just impatient and wants a quick fix. He's hoping that this will actually make you come back NOW. I know because I did the same thing. In addition to the demand to D or move back in that I mentioned above, I ended up filing for D when she didn't do it for a while after saying she would. I did it hoping she would change her mind -- now, from a WAW's point of view (and my own hindsight):
