He reached out to me at first. It was a little awkward, and pretty un-dude like to willingly step in like that. Especially when he was a far from mutual friend. Maybe you could see if your H would be willing to meet to talk with you about some things without a 3rd party? Sounds like he doesn't avoid you, and you guys have had the space? He has bee one to bring up R in the past, no?
