Yeah Merry Xmas Blue, just try enjoy the holiday and see what the new year brings. He might get that job.
If it was me and it doesnt improve by then i'd tell the wife if she wont do something to help change him then im outta here. If he dont work he wont move out and you'll be stuck in the same situation as now in another 5-10 years if she wont help you force him to change.
