I never thought about quitting seriously until I became a dysfunctional alcoholic. As long as I got up and went to work everyday it was not a serious enough problem although I knew it was a problem in my marriage. The provider instinct is so ingrained in some of us men that as long as we work no problems. When I got fired from two jobs due to drug use is when i hit a bottom.
It may be that his functional state won't last forever and then it will get interesting for you and whether you can "detach with love" or not.
