Do you think I should tell him that when he is sober that maybe we can try again?

You can tell him, but he will hear what he wants to hear through his dysfunction and denial. When he is sober and starts to reflect on his life, he may want to make amends on his own. He has to get sober for HIMSELF not for you, or it will just remain a string of promises and "trying" to get sober. I apologize if I sound like a know-it-all about this, but I was a drunk for 19 years and grew up in a home of two drunks. The behavioral patterns are well-known and obvious, once you understand what to look for.

I suggest that you not build your future around waiting for him to get sober, which may never come. If it happens and you are still free, it will be a nice lucky bonus for you.
