If he quit (the key word here is quit) and had not been successful in 8 almost 9 months think he does not want to work, and if got an interview sabotages it, no reason he could not find something to help out. He has become complacent in the sitting around doing nothing give him x amount of days to find a job, any job to help out or kick to the curb.

Maybe you could help him out in looking for a job. You could mention to him about the jobs you see available in the paper, especially if you think they are one's he would really enjoy. I know you shouldn't have to, but maybe it will look more supportive if you're doing it together.
I don't know the reason he's unemployed, but if he was laid off he maybe feeling kinda depressed from it so it may just take a little time.
Edit - If he QUIT 8 months ago then I can definatly see your frustration. He definatly needs to get his act together. I think he's not trying hard because he knows you can afford everything yourself. I guess I would stick with the original idea I had where you can help him look. You can drive him to drop of apps if needed. Again you shouldn't have to, but if he sees that you aren't going to just let him lay around he might get it together.
Good Luck!

If you really feel that he is slacking off on trying to find a job then you have some decisions to make. Can you live off of just your income, or do the two of you need his to survive? I sense a lot of resentment on your part for being the one who has to work while he does nothing. I think your problems may be bigger than just him not having a job. You may want to go in for some counseling to see what the bigger issue is here.
All of that said - I wouldn't stay with someone who laid around the house all day doing nothing.

I went through this for a year (I'm very patient). That was my time limit. Set a time limit - a couple of months to a year tops, give him a chance to find a job that will make him happy & do what you can to encourage & support him, as long as you can take the financial resposibility. But if he still doens't find his dream job by then, then it's time to pull the plug & tell him to get off his but & start working.
