H4C,
I think you ahve done completely the right thing - by listening to him, hoever painful it is, you are learning about him, who he is currently and where he is at.

the only caveat I would add is that you need to accept it for what it was - a single moment in time and that may not resurface again for a while. He may slip back into his tunnel to assess where he's at and time is on a different time space continuum for MLCers.

Keep your pexpectation meter to zero and keep on building a life for you and be the best version of you imaginable (for you and noone else).
