"It's not appropriate to discuss our personal problems at work or use the work mail, email, and so on to do so.".
I agree with this ^^^. I received the same advice in my sitch. If you want you could add a very short sentence about we can talk about personal issues on our own time if you like...or leave that out.
It is too convenient for him to talk about this stuff at work, where he knows things will stay calm and controlled with others watching...and it throws you for a loop. You don't need that at work. Trust me, been there, done that...avoid this.
