I’ve had a crap month, even worse day. Like real bad life stress that I’m struggling with. Husband is buying something online we need for pets, I said I’m not bothered about colours...you pick.

So he comes over, what colour do you prefer? I said I don’t mind, I quite like the red or blue. H: Ok which blue.
Me: I’m really not bothered, the brighter one though if I had to pick.
H: Isn’t that a bit girly what about this blue?
Me: Well actually I prefer the red.
H: What for male pet?
M: Yes
H: Oh I think that will look better on other pet
M: SO WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR MY OPINION, I’ve just told you and it’s not what you want so you keep going back to what you like. Just order what you want I DON’T CARE.

Two min later. Shall I get pink for the other pet?

Arghhhh!

SmileSmile in your shoes, I'd be pouring the wine and breaking out the crisps.

Sorry you're having a tough time though. Maybe ask him to get you the wine and crisps because you're feeling bad.

It’s so that it can be your fault if you or he doesn’t like the colour of the pet’s accoutrements.

🤣 he is a knob sometimes yes lol. It’s going to get covered in mud and fox shit so doesn’t really matter what colour we go for.

Also hope things are better for you this month DaffodilDaffodilThanks

Sometimes, if I am stuck between 2 choices I will ask dp his opinion. If I am disappointed with his choice then I know which one I really want.

Sorry your month has been bad. Next time he does it just ask him if he really wants an opinion of if he just wants someone to talk through his decision making process but ultimately wants to decide. If it’s the latter get him to have a one sided convo with the pet Wink

@SorsDici thanks me too. Just all seems to come at once you know?
I’ll file for divorce once the deliveries arrive so I know whether I want to keep them or not if the colours are crap!

I know that type!
They don't actually want your opinion.
They want you to guess their opinion and say it.
