It seems possible for you to tell some of the truth without getting totally bogged down in the full extent of his problems. Can't you just tell him you want some time to focus on these other friends? He shouldn't get offended every time he is not invited to something.
that's all i can think of, but i'm sure there's something else...

I agree that he should not get offended, but the guy doesn't have much perspective of what's going on for other people... I can't imagine that I say to him that I would rather he not go for almost any reason and it just goes over like that. So, rather than open that can of worms, I've been figuring to just tell him that it was a mistake and we'll catch some other game some other time.

What the fuck?
"Hey bud, I made plans with some old friends that night. Catch you later."
The end. Quit being such a gigantic gaping used up pussy.

Just go with this little white lie. It's not your job to babysit your buddy all the time. You aren't being a shitty friend just because you need a break from him. Sometimes a white lie to save someones feeling IS the right thing to do. Especially if the guy is emotionally fragile.

just tell him last minute invite. You can carry that lie out for quite a bit. If he finds out it was planned, just tell him you originally couldnt go so you never mentioned it. Then someone cancelled and you were able to go. He's not going to call you a liar with t hat story. He may be a little butthurt, but won't call you out on it. As mentioned, invite him out to do something fun the next weekend or something. You obviously are alot more honest than i was with women when i was younger. As for lying to friends, we had to do it all the time when we were going out. Some of out buddies weren't very good with the women so to say, so yeah, they missed out on some crazy nights and got a little whiney we didnt invite them. But they always got over it, heh. I'm married now, so no need to lie, but some words to live by, You're only lying if you get caught.
