As for the boundaries and R talk, I don't know much. Honestly part of me just wants to know why he even wants the D
DBing says do not INITIATE the R talks. R talks are fine if he initiates. Your only job during these talks is to listen and validate. No judging. It is critical that you do not express your feelings or argue.

It is perfectly fine to deflect his questions during this time.

"I am not sure"
"I need time to think about that"
"I need more time to process what you have said"
"I will let you know when I have decided"
