You gather "Intel" as if this is a reconnaissance mission. Get data FROM him without giving it back.
You "need time to process" whatever the heck he says. Be polite, absolutely listen listen and listen some more. Probe any issue you are not totally clear about.
Then tell him you need time to think about whatever he says and that you will let him know soon, when you have had time to think it thru.
Of course stress whatever he says that you do have in common, like "want what is best for the kids", etc. But no specific agreement before you have had time to process it thoroughly (and see your L about it, etc)
No matter what he says, don't lose your sh!t in front of him. Stay calm. The person who remains the calmest is the person with the power. Keep your power and use it well.
If you feel extortion coming, (like he won't pay you XX if you don't agree to Y, etc) then you end the conversation and leave.
But that's not as likely as him probing YOU for information.
Don't give it out unless it's strategically wise, and at this point, seems to me it'd be best to just be in a gathering data mode, not transmitting any.
Make sense?
