He won't see that it's partly his fault given the situation he is in. It's not going to happen so I'd forget about that for the time being. Accept that, forgive him (for you, don't tell him you've done it) and keep GALing and doing the 180.

The man that you have their just now HAS a lot of problems, a lot of issues and a lot of baggage as you said. Bear in mind HE made his choice and HE must live with the consequences. HE needs to stop wallowing in his own pool of self-pity, stand up, be a man and get on with his life with you (or without you). Until he get's help for his problem and stop feeling sorry for himself you won't be able to do much of anything with him. But remember HE has to do that, not you.
