Pink, when I read your posts about H asking for a meeting, I was kind of thinking that he wanted to have that conversation (that actually happened when you met), I just could not imagine it would be to this extend. Wow! I agree with kml that it took a lot of courage for your XH to come to you and have this conversation. I also agree that he just didn’t have a nerve to ask you for a second chance, especially after your NC attitude. He doesn’t know what is going on in your mind, he probably thinks that you are so done with him. To Wonka’s point, it could be very hard for him to do that next step right now.

I completely agree with the advice to let the co-parenting and friendship relationships to develop. I don’t think you need to do or ask anything at this point. Maybe just let him know one more time (when the chance presents itself) that you appreciate him opening up to you.

I agree with rd, job and Sotto too, about going on about your business and taking care of yourself. And, BTW, you did great listening to him and handling the conversation!
