I cannot imagine being this sad.
Husband has literally asked me how to put a bit in a drill. I walked over and fucking showed him.

Did you then watch while he used the drill to make sure he didn't destroy something or hurt himself? Because that becomes your responsibility at that point. And you can't effectively do it while you aren't physically present.
I advised him of any safety precautions or good practises he might be unaware of, even offered to help if need be but i don't need to infantilise a grown goddamn adult.
What is wrong with you.

This is dumb. Just explain in a phonecall and/or tell them to look it up on YouTube.

My wife is very capable doing a number of things, but I would worry about the damage she would do (probably to herself) with power tools. She's very much a person who charges ahead to get to the finish point on a project, and not always taking a moment to think about the necessary steps and "what if's" of going from point A to B. We know what she can do to her fingers with a mandolin slicer, not letting her power up the table saw.
Your wife should have a cut glove.
That would have been a good thing to have. The cheap slicer got tossed, and we've got something like a Mueller slicer now. Sits over a container, and has guards so fingers can't get too close to the blade.
It’s still a handy thing to have. I use mine all of the time when grating frozen butter on a box grater when making scones
