MM's partner wants to break up

My MM is involved in an 11 year common-law-marriage. He told me on Monday that over the weekend they had a discussion about possibly ending their relationship. It's not what he wants - not what I want either. But I don't know what to say to him. For the moment, I told him that I would be there if he needs to talk (we work together in a small company). Do I ask him questions about his discussion with his partner? I don't want to push him - but I'm not sure I have the patience to hold onto this information and not talk about it. Unfortunately, he is the only person I could talk to about this.

Anyone else gone through this? How did you cope?

I think you should just make sure he knows that you are there for him when and if he ever wants to talk about the situation.
