GWN, I assume that he is still with OW. Well, she is there to provide the emotional support that's necessary during this time.

I had a dilemma w/X. He was very very ill and I considered whether to visit him in the hospital. We were divorced and I had started to see someone else. I ultimately decided against it because I felt my presence just would be upsetting and detrimental to his healing. OW had taken off. Guess it got real.

I would agree with what your friends say. Be kind, be sympathetic, but don't keep the conversation going for a long time.
