...has ruined a surprise for me that I would have been genuinely touched by.
I'm soon leaving a voluntary role. One of my colleagues sneakily took DH to one side and told him that they were going to surprise me with a voucher as a leaving present, and wondered if there was any particular shop that would be best. He said he didn't know. So he asked me, after explaining what they had planned . He said he really couldn't think of anywhere and, "Well you must have known they'd get you something!" It wouldn't even have crossed my mind.
I'm an easy to please person. The voucher is not going to be for a very large amount, so no risk of ending up with loads of vouchers for a shop I wouldn't class as a favourite. Why the fuck couldn't he just tell them a couple of shops that everybody goes in, like Boots or M&S, or suggest a book token if he really couldn't think of a single shop? Or go away and have a think about it inside his head? . It's a lovely thing for them to do, and I feel so pissed off with him for raining on their parade.
He has a long and steady history of this. Just yesterday he had to get me to deal with a tree surgeon because he couldn't decide whether it would be best to follow the man's advice and take a dead tree out of the garden .
I feel so exasperated every time he says "I don't mind," or "You choose." I'm not a control freak, I long for him to take the reins for a bit. I often pull him up on his deferring to me, and tell him it makes me cross. I think it's laziness that makes him this way; why think when someone else can think for you?

AIBU?
To be so pissed off? DH's inability to make a decision...
