That's usually a good first step. If he thinks you don't respect his decision he will never want to talk about it...he'll just be on the defensive thinking you're always intending to convince him to stay, and he'll just add that to the things he doesn't like about you right now. It may take time, but there may now be a potential for future dialogue.
