Hope I didn't come across as too harsh. Was it a DB coach from this site? I'm surprised they would recommend that at this point, I would probably not recommend that, although they had the benefit of speaking with both of you.

One book I read that was written by an MC said that 90% of the time, one party comes to MC in an uncooperative state -- they're just coming to help the other person find peace, to convince them it's over, or to try to "fix" the other person. In those scenarios it's not going to be productive.

I'd let him lead on scheduling the dates.
