You shouldn't feel bad, or guilty.
I know you feel bad that he's hurt, but it's a lesson that he needs to learn. Wouldn't you rather he learn it from you in a caring way, instead of being told by someone else. They may not be so forgiving, and nice as you are.
So the next time he's blunt, please tell him in a loving way. But please don't back down, because he's sad.
