I understand your endless compassion from your friend but you can look at is another way; he seems to be milking the situation (your help) for all it is worth. I couldn't have a friend like that. I'd go insane. Alcoholism or not, he is an adult and has to live his life.

Sure he is a great guy, he has to be because you are his fall back family. He has no other connections for a reason. He burnt his bridges if this pattern has been his adult life. Some people just never get their lives together.

That suicidal bit is something you have no control over whether he is in your home/care or not. And as someone pointed out, this will start to impact your marriage.
I'd send him on his way.
