Hey there,
I'm sorry that you are having to go through this with him, but being in the same situation myself (but on his end) having a friend to talk to is what gets me through the day. I'm not sure how serious he is about ending it, but when I say I want to my friend always reminds me how sad my family would be. Try having him watch the music video to the song Hold On by good charlotte. It helps me a lot. I know how tiring and frustrating it is to go through this with a friend, but please don't give up on him. If you need anything feel free to
PM me.
