Stop feeding him until he starts doing his chores. If he asks where
his supper is, tell him he doesn't get any because he has not done his
chores. When he does his chores he will get fed. He can go do them
right then or when he gets hungry. If he wants to eat, he works.
Make a list, this is what you do on this day, every day, whatever. He
checks the boxes. if the boxes aren't checked, no supper. Change the
internet password too, that will get his attention.

Well the kid does supposedly have chores such as unloading the
dishwasher, trash, etc but is like pulling teeth to get him to do it
without having to remind him several times.

You gotta get her on board. Period. What self-respecting parent
doesn’t believe that a kid should participate in work around the
house, i.e., chores? And I’m not talking about the sh*t my
Midwestern parents expected, like major work, but something as
simple as maybe loading the dishwasher after meals or taking out the
trash on a regular basis. Yeah, I had to make my bed, clean my
bathroom and do a number of other things on a daily or weekly basis,
but it was expected. Start out small. Not only that, but it can
provide a sense of accomplishment and ownership, not to mention help
with self-esteem.
Self-entitlement is an ugly thing and near impossible to reverse.
You’ll pay a serious price for it in the long term.

I try to, but can't get him to do anything and if I try too hard,
then my spouse says I am too hard on him, so it is a no win situation.

That what kids are for, Kaleb. Free labor. Make the most of it
while you can.
