I was married for over eight years to a man of that nature, and after droning over and over about what I could do to help, I realized there was nothing. I think being honest about your feelings was right. Its a dangerous territory you walk upon. Loving someone doesnt mean you have to be responsible for how they feel. You can only do the best in your heart, but after that, he has to get a different perspective on his own.
I eventually left my husband, and even after four years, I know there was nothing I could have ever done.
Good luck with your situation, I wish you the best.
