Other than that he just pisses and moans about it...

I have told him in the past to quit whining and do something about it but he just threw a temper tantrum and didn't talk to me for 6 months (It was a nice break)

Had to vent...thanks

Ask him this:

What do all of your problems have in common? What is the ONE thing that each and every one of them has?

YOU.

Until he's willing to address that common thread, there really is no hope.

Sounds a lot like one of my family members too.
