Why so silent? What does it mean? It means that he still doesn't know what to do. It means that he's processing stuff and quite frankly, they are lucky if they can remember what they've said or done in the last 20 minutes. Also, it means that you've not been rattling his cage for answers and that's when the ugly comes out to play. Be thankful that he's a quiet type of mlcer and not one that yells, is angry all of the time, etc. You are so lucky in that department, i.e., the softer MLCer.
He's not at the point that he can actually tell you what you want to hear or even what you don't want to hear.
I would dig deeper for patience and continue moving along w/your life.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
