SCh, we must have cross posted as I didn't see your last one.
I truly believe at this point your H would run again as he seems to still be spinning so fast. He flits from one scenario to another. The firestorm in his head most be awful to live with.
As far as to what to tell him, you could say that you need more time to think it over. Maybe that would stall him long enough and he'll come up with something else
Hopefully some of our wise DBers will be along to give you their opinions on how to handle this.
