You can't do anything about that situation but let him go on with his choice. If things doesn't work out he'll realize that he left a good friend behind. You just comfort him when that day comes. If you want, you can check up on him again b/c you care. He can't say anything to your decision to do so, because he made one himself and just needs to respect that you just wanted to make sure he's living happy.
