Maybe you should tell his parents how hard he tries and how he needs encouragement rather than critisism, dont know how thatd go down though:eek:
well at least id be chuffed if my girlfriend said that to me....
Been there myself, the best you can do is tell him you have confidence in him and that should keep somewhat happy.
I think it should be more down to him to look at himself deep inside and he will see that he's not a failure.
He may just need a helping hand into a bout of self evaluation !
