I will have to agree with Cynay and the others, since before anything else he has to quit because he wants to..it's probably quite okay he's doing this on his own. Of course you want to share in his moment, you love him...but I think this might be yes..just one of those things he needs to do for himself. Besides you will have PLENTY of time to support him when he'll really need it...in those moments when the going gets tough afterward.
