For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Just let him know you are there for him if ever he needs to offload and give him a big hug. If he knows he has you there to listen that will be a great comfort. Try not to run down his wife even if he is doing so himself, he knows what she has done is awful but will resent hearing it from anybody else.
It is so difficult to be a good listener - sometimes people with problems will work it out for themselves by having someone there to listen to them 'thinking out loud'
Best wishes.
Thank you all so much for your lovely suggestions and answers. I will just be there for him for a shoulder to cry on...It's the worse feeling in the world when your family member is so hurt and you feel helpless that you can't take the pain away. I will try not to get teary when he talks to me about it, and I will give him that big hug. Thanks again.x
