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.

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.</quote> 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</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is exactly why I dont send my husband to the grocery store anymore Do you think he did it on purpose to get out of having to go grocery shopping Nope. Hes just not patient for it. And he doesnt know a lot of ingredients I ask for. For example, he had no idea what Panko breadcrumbs were. And he doesnt have the patience to look for it. Forget asking me where it is or looking up a picture. If he doesnt see it right away, hes not getting it. Period. I once asked him to get me vanilla yogurt. He came home with no yogurt. I asked why. Apparently I wasnt specific enough on what brand I wanted. Hes not stupid. Hes an engineer. Theyre a special sort lol If he's an engineer, you need to be exacting.
