It sound to me as if you're handling this the right way. You've explained your needs and expectations and set a limit. The next steps are up to him. You are asking him to be an equal contributin part of your marriage. If cannot do that, what kind of a marriage is it?
He sounds a lot like my xAH except my xAH has never stopped drinking or admitted to his alcoholism. He got fired 3 years ago and is still unemployed even though he is now facing homelessness as soon as our house sells or goes into foreclosure. His behavior makes no rational sense. I would have thought he'd get a job, any job, to pay the bills, but seems to think anything less than what he had before is beneath his dignity.
