When do you know it’s time to give it up?

Married for almost a year, together for 5 years total. Husband is immature and cannot be consistent with anything in our relationship: says one thing, does something else entirely, doesn’t come through with proactive communication or planning. If I come to share a concern he shifts the conversation around and makes it about him. We’re in couples therapy it’s been 2 months and few things improved but in general I feel I’m always picking up the pieces.

Before you bring in kids or more people into your circle, please set deadlines and see if worked out. If not then having separation and see if you/he can handle without each other before you give up totally. There must be some positives that you both have been together for 5+ that to focus on too

If I had to guess you are both likely young. He may not have had exposure to a good male role model or example and now he's having to figure it out on his own. When I had a similar issue with my ex I set clear expectations and a deadline when improvement needed made for things that were 100% non negotiable. They made some small changes for about a week and then went right back to their old ways. Make sure all along you are discussing what he is doing that bothers you, why, and what he should do differently. Don't just say things like "it really bothers me when you do x" Best of luck to you and I hope it works out, divorce is rough and can be expensive but know that if what they are doing are things you cannot live with and they are unwilling to change that's your last resort.
