um...nope, wrong...at least as far as my wife is concerned, he is right on target, and it drives me nuts! :)

I am not wrong. He just admitted he was a little.

But I understand his point. There is no way to fix it. She apparently has something in mind and wants you to read her mind.

Yeah, I have run into this conundrum too, usually on vacation. Where do you want to go? I don't know, you decide. How about Colordao. Nah..

IANAWM, but I have found that: Women do not know what they want.. they just know what they don't want.

ATOT is like a Night at the Improv today. I'm waiting for the "My wife asked me if she looks fat in this" thread next.

You need to shut this crap down. This kind of thing is humorous to a point, but it appears more in bad stand up acts than in healthy relationships. Tell her "Look, you said decide, I'm going to Friday's. If you want to come, then get dressed, if not, I'll see you when I get home"

If she dumps you over this, seriously, what have you lost? An emotionally stunted relationship with a bitchy 12 year old in a big girl's body? Hardly the end of the world. Women can whine about equality all they want, but do what all men do: Ignore it, and understand they want a man to call the shots most of the time.

I: Let's go to Friday's
She: I don't feel like Fridays.
I: How about Timberlodge?
She: not really.
I: Perkins?
She: No
I: Ok, where would you like to go?
She: I dont care, you decide.

Could go on the whole night till you say the one she wants to go to.

Oh well, my venting is done.

Yep, exactly. I asked my girl why she does this to me.

Me: Where do you want to eat?
Her: I dunno.
Me: I dunno either.
Her: I'm up for whatever.
Me: Ya me too.

*back and forth 100 times "you decide" "no you decide!"

Her: How about soup?
Me: Soup's On then?
Her: Sure, sounds great!
Me: You said that like you had it in mind the entire time.
Her: Sometimes I'll say where I want to go, and you won't feel like it. This way I'll know you want to go too.
Me: Why didnt you just say it in the first place then, after I said I didnt care?
Her: I just told you.

AHHHHHH!

I know I'm no less guilty than she is, but still.....I'll never understand what goes on in the female mind. :p

I thought I might pull over and walk the rest of the way but I drove her back and then dumped her.

psycho b!tch.

ROFL, technical difficulties much?! :laugh:

Possible Translation:

She says: Lets go out for dinner.
I say: Ok, where would you like to go?
She: I don't care, you decide. (I want to go someplace new and exciting.)
I: Let's go to Friday's
She: I don't feel like Fridays. (I said someplace new, genius.)
I: How about Timberlodge?
She: not really. (Aren't you listening? Take me someplace I haven't been before.)
I: Perkins?
She: No (Perkins?! Yeah, let's go there for the 1000th time.)
I: Ok, where would you like to go?
She: I dont care, you decide. (Why don't you want to try new things with me? I hate you.)

I guess I'm lucky - my wife is the opposite. If she says "You decide", I can decide and she will be OK with it 100% of the time. If she has a preference, she'll say so.

Wow, I once had a girlfriend who freaked when I drove her car across the empty stalls of a parking lot instead of down the lanes, but you win.
