 HI
He is obviously going through a very difficult time right now, I would deffinately give him the time and space he needs, to reboot and know where he wants his life to take him. Just let him know your there for him when his ready to talk.

 If he's recently separated from his wife, just lost his job, and might be losing his home to relocate, it is unreasonable and insensitive that you want to see him happy right this minute. How would you feel if these things were happening to you? I know how I would feel...I would be in a deep depression. Serious relationships and jobs define a big part of who we are. Let him know you are sorry about his losses and that you are there for him if he needs you. Otherwise, give him time to grieve because that is likely what he is doing. He probably appreciates your inspirational words, but he is probably numb from the devastation.

Give him space but let him know you are there for him whenever he wants to talk. He is grieving for his relationship it is sometimes just as hard as a death. He needs a friend but also needs time to himself. Just be there for him that is enough and he will speak to you when he is ready.
