The 'I don't know' answer ranks right up there with 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you'.
It is a surefire sign that H does not want to discuss the topic at hand because more than likely he really 'does not know'. His answer won't change until he solves personal problems first. Then and only then will he be able to talk to you, give you straight answers, and work on your marriage.
H is a big boy and master of his own destiny. If you confront him about your need to talk, mention it once and only once in a manner that will not intimidate him. Then let it rest and never bring it up again.
Was he the one to bail out of C and 'fire' the counselor? Just curious.
