Sisyphus2 your husband has no motivation to change. He knows you're going to be there no matter what. You may be willing to take responsibility for your actions but he is not for his (or lack of them in this case).

Unless you give him reason to change, he won't. Why should he? Until you are willing to stop enabling him, nothing will change, so you might as well get used to the status quo.
