Mlcers have a way of wearing different masks around people. Right now, you'll see the unhappy, miserable mask. To the interviewer, he may have come across as self assured and ready to tackle any job that is offered to him. It's difficult to say how he was around the parties interviewing him.
You are doing the right thing by keeping the conversations centered around the children. He's very sensitive right now about his job search and his own personal life. He may not share much of what transpired during this trip...but then again, he may share what he perceives as his "happy" so that you think it's got it together. If and when he returns home and wants to discuss things, listen closely. If he asks for advice, give it to him.
Continue to keep the focus on you and your children.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
