Any advice? Other than "take him to Nikki's!"? I just don't know what to say.

He is a total wreck. She called him while he was on the road for work, about 10 hours from home, by himself, telling him she was leaving. I can't imagine what his drive home must have been like.

Why, I have no idea. My sister-in-law, who is best friends with her didn't even know. Well, they're not friends anymore! I've known him for over 11-12 years now (of which he was with her the whole time), and he is one of the nicest and most generous people I know. He bends over backwards to do things for her, make the house nice, and everything. She was everything to him.

He wanted to go talk to someone to try to save the marriage, but she said "there is no use, its over".

So I went over to visit with my brother last night. He looks horrible, and broke down into tears when he answered the door. He hasn't eaten since the weekend, hasn't slept, and looks like Grizzly Adams from not shaving or combing his hair. He is absolutely unhinged, in a daze, and his eyes look almost glazed over like he is "lost".

I can't think of any comforting words, other than that my phone is always here, and I'm around if he needs anything.

We're going to take him out fishing this weekend to get him out of the house. He hasn't left it since he got home from his trip for work.
