he has felt X for a long time and he tried to tell me....
I said I see that now.... I should have said something along the lines of how hard it must have been that I wasn't listening as I should???
Good ways to validate his feelings might be "You felt X for a long time, but you couldn't tell me?" or "You felt X for a long time, but you didn't think I heard you?" To me, your statement starts by validating his feelings, but then shifts towards you and apologizing and expressing your critical inner voice.

I think there's more goodness and power in you than you sometimes give yourself credit for, so I'm so glad to hear you say that. Rock on, KitCat, with your GAL plans for tonight and tomorrow!
