I'm going with R2C gave you.

When you get home:
  • Keep doing what you need to be doing
  • Be accessible and wait for him to approach you
  • He's going to say a lot of things that are going to hurt and make you feel misunderstood. As difficult as it is, DO NOT defend yourself. (do like R2C says, just listen and validate)
  • Do not let him pressure you into any decisions. If he does then you respond with, "This is all new to me. I need some time to digest and think about what you're saying. OK?" <-- Get his agreement. This will open the door for your turn later.
  • He will try pressure you with "Do you agree?" "Am I right?" "See what I mean" ... whatever. Don't bend. Standard responses as R2C laid out.
  • Be prepared for THE bomb. (I want a S or D). Steel yourself against this. "I hear you. I see."

Maintain your composure. You're a mature, strong woman who can handle whatever is thrown at you.
