Dear CB:

When he was your partner, he was entitled to your emotional support. If he was your friend, he would be entitled to your emotional support. But he is no longer your partner, and he hasn’t been a friend to you, from what you shared. Therefore he is not entitled.

Because he hasn’t been your friend, I can understand your difficulty being his friend at this time. It is up to you, your choice if to give him the time and support that he wants from you.

If you think that maybe he will be back to you, if you support him, keep in mind that it may not be the case, keep it in mind, so that you don’t get terribly disappointed.
