FWIW, I think MCs generally do a joint session first, and then set up some individual sessions.

It sounds like H has some things he wants to be able to discuss with someone without you in the room.

He (very indirectly) asked you over and over if he could see MC alone.

You (very indirectly) said over and over that you wanted to go together.

So, why don't you (very directly) say: H, I'd really like us to go together this first time starting MC again, but then I would be fine with one or both of us scheduling some individual visits. Does that work for you?
