My husband has been saying and promising he’ll do things like do the grocery shopping, go to the butcher, do the laundry, clean the house, do yard work and the list goes on. Most things are annoying but no real consequences, but not going to the store means we don’t really have any fresh food for dinner and work lunches.

I went to work with the understanding that he was going to the store and he didn’t. We now have nothing for dinner or lunches. I’m annoyed, frustrated, pissed! I can deal with the thoughts and feelings about the shopping not being done, I can go to the store or in future just plan to do the shopping myself, but where do I go with the my husband not doing what he says he’ll do?

I love him and I want to love him but am not sure I want to spend the rest of my life with someone I can’t rely on to do what he says he’s going to do. I don’t want a divorce, I believe that I’ve chosen this man, I love him and have made an eternal commitment, but that leaves me stuck with wanting/needing him to change to be happy in my marriage, or…?
