Mike, I'm so glad you posted, and my heart goes out to you.
I will be very honest with you here....YOU ARE NOT AT FAULT FOR A THING.
This man should not have a wife who is traveling, he should not be left alone, and he should be in a hospital with professionals. He is very sick, and there is nothing YOU can do or could have done.
I know you want to be a friend, but in my opinion, you really can't be. The best thing you can do is back away, and it is better (here again, my opinion) that your friend let his feelings out to people who are trained to help in this kind of situation.
This is not about normal friendship - this is like pinning jello to a wall -- it's just not possible to be friends with a person who is ill at that level. It is dangerous for you, and for him.
My heart goes out to you, Mike. You are such a good man, and a loving one.
Hugs,
