I don't mean to hijack but have a questions LFW and OP-
When H was here last, he did that non-stop talking thing about this and that, random stuff. Of course, the whole time he was talking, I was thinking how can you be acting/talking to me like this after you sent me divorce papers so just answered with short replies and was maybe even came across disinterested. Was he maybe just nervous? He is not always that talkative.
IF he does this again the next time I see him, do I act interested in what he is saying? I have read that you should act interested, listen, but not offer any advice etc. but is this the same with MLC?
Yes if you must talk agree pleasantly and validate what he is saying.
"I am sorry you feel that way" "I understand your feeling on that"
Check around I am sure you can get some other validation lines.
