Do you play the “I don’t know what do you want for dinner?” game?

The never-ending food struggle continues! How often do you play the “What do you want for dinner?”, “I don’t know what do you want for dinner?” game? Never, Always, or Sometimes? Next Question: Do you check in with each other before making a big purchase? Back to the Beginning: Never, Always, or...

    Every single day!! I am the primary cook in the house. I would be content with something simple, dont need to have 3-4 things for dinner, but my FH is picky. He HAS to have something CRUNCHY with his meal, wont have subs for dinner because it's a sandwich, sometimes I will go to make something and he asks what I'm making and then I get a look like he's not in the mood for it yet when you ask him what he is in the mood for his response is always "nothing really, you know me" I'm just hungry. Well then how am I suppose to help you my sweet soon to be. Sometimes they are worse than kids.

    ALWAYS! Haha we are just so used to helping other people and making sure they are happy... so it flows into the "what do you want to eat?" Or "I'll have whatever you want"

    We used to a lot but haven't lately. If one of us is "craving" something we just go there and the other one complains after getting there (cough cough usually him) saying they have always hated this place and next time they are picking lol

    If I am cooking then I usually have something in mind already, FH prefers to order take out or delivery (thank you Uber Eats). If I don't choose somewhere quickly FH will snack until I make up my mind or will just make himself a sandwich, he has a big appetite so he'd still eat again when we actually decided on a place to eat. But don't let it be drive through he's recently taken to really like Wendy's and thats his 1st choice!

    Always!!! I am notorious for saying "let's have something healthy for dinner tomorrow night" and then rejecting every healthy thing he suggests Smiley xd

    I just discovering Uber Eats like two weeks ago! So far, I've used it three times. It's life-changing but dangerous!! Does he order Wendy's through Uber Eats all the time now!?

    Yes. He’s just waiting for a restraint named “whatever” to open up so the game can end

    I'm the worst. He doesn't care. He will eat most anything.

    We totally do!! We both like to please each other and no one wants to make the decision. He's the chef in our family though so usually he gets the final say if we are eating at home. Going out to dinner its usually me.

    YES. We're both super picky, and I do all the cooking. So it's just back and forth for about an hour before we decide what to eat.
