He even mentioned that I was a like a mentor to him and he respects what I have to say. I am glad that he trusts me but I do not want to say anything that will hurt his chance at reconciling wit his W, I also want to help him.

I think this is a good thing to do, sounds like you are helping your friend out in a very caring and careful manner. I am sure your W has to see the changes in you, if your friend is seeing it. Right now, it is all just about the waiting game.
