Its been almost 8 years, its not happening lol. I can send him to the store for simple things like milk and eggs. Thats about it. He gets in a total mood if I ask for anything that isnt common to him. Its not worth the headache

-_-

My mom spent the better part of 30+ years training my dad to be a safer driver.

It worked in the end, but it takes a constant berating from her to get him to slowly change over time.

I think you can slowly convert your hubbie to be a shopper.

My dad was the same way when my folks got married.

It takes the wife many years of "Training", but it does work over time.

Think of him like a long term project for you to mold.

If you give up on "Training" him, yeah he'll never change; but if you plug away at it, he'll eventually shape up to the man that you want him to be.

I prefer just accepting that we each have our individual strengths and weaknesses.

For example, hes incredibly handy around the house. He can fix pretty much anything, including car related stuff. He also sets up all the IT and fixes any issues we get. Im not good at any of that and he accepts that about me. He doesnt ask me to watch videos on how to repair stuff. He just does it.

He also mows the lawn and takes out the trash. I have no desire to do any of that. But I do my part, like cooking and groceries since hes pretty much useless when it comes to those things.

I dont think its wise to treat people as projects. It leads to years of resentment imo
