Boyfriend says I'm controlling

NC for this but frequent poster.

My Bf of 8 months is accusing me of being controlling yet gets me to choose everything and make all the decisions. I don't get it. I would love for him to decide where we go on nights out or days out or what we have for dinner sometimes (I'd like him to cook for once too!) etc but he refuses to choose and says I have to. He point blank refuses despite me saying I'd like him to make some decisions. Then makes sarky comments about me being controlling. I'm not sure if he's worried he'll choose "wrong" and thinks I'll be annoyed but I've done everything I can to encourage him to take charge of things sometimes and am happy to do pretty much anything as happy being out with him wherever and he knows this. Is it so wrong of me to want him to make some decisions and is it wrong of me to be upset at being called controlling. He doesn't see my problem.

Well there you go then!
I had to meet xh at the weekend and thought (I'm a fan of The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings, bear with me!) 'how did I not ever notice he has hands like a Dwarf?' Grin
(It wasn't attractive...)

Although when I said repulsed, I meant that I was repulsed by who he was rather than his looks. He was a good looking guy but the long toe nails made me feel quite ill. I think physical things get overlooked when they are otherwise great but once the rot sets in they become really obvious.
