Counseling conundrums

[TrentC]

I'm going by myself tonight (appt. is at 6pm).

H decided to take a work at home/sick day because he's been fighting a cold or something all week, feels like f*** and not sleeping well.
So I asked him- "What about tonight?"
I don't feel like going
I stayed positive- "Ok, we can do like I suggested last time. I'll go, and you can do a solo session next time if you want"
(In a suspicious tone) Why are you so anxious to go by yourself?
I just don't see a reason to waste a scheduled appointment. There's cans of soup in the pantry- see ya when I get home.

I think I'm glad he's not going- I do want some alone time with the MC.

The only thing you probably could have done differently would be:

You: "What about tonight?"
Him: "I don't feel like going."
You: "OK. Well, I'm going; see you later."

Let him decide if and when he wants to go.
