As for the rest, I think you can still apply what you are learning without him reading the book(s). Plus, he may change his mind in a month or even a week about the books or MC or both. Obviously asking him about it is not getting the reaction you want - so you may need to try something else.
I see so many positives in your situation. And while I agree that MC and the books are an important step in healing, I think you two are on slightly different timelines and have different approaches and there is no compromising going on. You are both entrenched in your positions.
You have tentatively set a deadline of June. How are you going to DB until then?
