I believe you are ahead of most posters on your DBing. Keep learning and changing. Focus on your personal growth.
Right now is a time to challenge your belief system. Things that work are almost always counter-intuitive.
For example, I would tell him that you don't believe MC is working. I would tell him that you would like to attend retrouvaille to see if R is even worth saving. We can start the D paperwork when we get back.

Learn to give vague answers.
