2.5 years later we were divorced. He never once gave me anything but support through the hard times.

When I got married to my current wife, he was my best man again but this time he didn't suggest I slip out the back.

Ironically, he and his wife of 20 years divorced last year. Miles and family prevented me from being there for him but he had support from his family/friends that are near to him.
One of my buddies was getting married. About a month before he told me he and his to be wife were in counseling. I told him to put off the ceremony and slow things down until they figured things out. He married anyway. He was divorced about 2.5 years later.

He re-married and is quite happy. Weird thing: his first wife married his best friend from back home (she didn't live anywhere near there...). He also keeps connected via Facebook.
