OH spends days/weeks mulling over what to buy

We are looking at dining tables, he's spent weeks looking at them . Every time I suggest something he says what if the cat scratches it he wants one that's a certain size. He was even measuring the plates!!!
I've had enough I did shout at him he does this about most purchases even not big ones we were originally going to pay half each but I have purchased the dining table myself and told him I don't want to hear or spend loads more weeks deciding which one to buy.

I'm finding the trait unbearable.

What if he shouted back and said no you aren't and I don't want to hear any more about having to buy now? What if he says the one you have bought is horrible and he's going to get rid of it and buy one he likes?
I thought this as well. Why is it OK to shout at him because he approaches decisions differently than you would like?

I think the internet has made this so much harder. You get stuck in reviews and then see more options and conflicting reviews and so much choice that it is hard to make a decision.

It took me so long to decide the shades that I wanted on my walls (I knew the colour) because there was literally 100s of the same colour. My car took seconds to decide because there was little choice and no shades.

Garden fence was also quite easy to choose as there are few colours available.
