My partner asks me what I want for dinner, and I say it doesn’t matter, we’ll have whatever you want. They reply with “I always pick, and it’s exhausting, you need to pick” and I say…
“hamburgers.”
“Nope, had them yesterday”
“Ramen?”
“Not feeling Ramen today”
“Indian?”
“I already have acid reflux”
“Italian?”
“I’m Italian’d out”
“Look, you’re the one with the restrictive diet. I’m literally a human garbage can and I will eat anything in my vicinity, you clearly have opinions on what you want to eat, and I don’t want to play food 20 questions until I guess what you want for dinner tonight, so just pick already”
“Why do I always have to pick?”
It’s literally been the same conversation every night for 3 years so far. I’m about ready to just record my responses in order to expedite the decision.
Make a rule that one of you has to propose three options, and the other has to pick one of those three. Your partner can choose which role they want.
It’s a bit like telling two children that one can cut the cake, but the other gets first pick - but it’s a hack to combat your own (collective) indecisiveness.
