Woof, that sounds like a lot. I’m glad you’re still chatting to him and have nudged him towards an EAP, but do you think it would be beneficial to point out his constant negative viewpoint? It’s nice that you want to possibly include him, but it sounds like it’d be fairly risky from a draining your energy view.
But haaaard agree that mates need to talk to mates. I noticed when boyo would catch up with his mates it’s always incredibly superficial chatter, he’s got no idea how his mates are doing in life. I asked about it and he said “that’s just how they’ve always been. They’ll talk if they want to.” But will they?!
