Are we married to the same person?

Been there, but you’re way more patient than I am, props!

Wait until the Family Courts.

You have a 50% chance though. You might make it

Just realize that you're low on milk and wine and take the initiative to plan dinner. Then you'd avoid that entire conversation.

"Honey, I'm going to stop at the store to get some milk, wine, and maybe a couple other things. I've got dinner planned. Let me know if you'd like me to grab anything else while I'm out."

 

[praguehawk]

Heard a decent trick once that might serve some of you gentlemen well at some point. This helps to avoid that situation where the wife is asking where to go and you have to list 10 different places before she agrees to one (rejecting the first 9). When it's time to start the conversation say, "I figured out where you want to go without asking, can you guess where that is?". Lots of times she'll actually tell you rather than going through the 10 minutes of tortured conversation. Of course, you didn't have any idea when you asked the question. Just agree to whatever she says.

How will his wife say no to his idea for dinner in your scenario?

"Honey, I'm going to stop at the store to get some milk, wine, and maybe a couple other things. I've got dinner planned. Let me know if you'd like me to grab anything else while I'm out."

So…expect OP to notice that the milk is low, even though he may not have been in the fridge before leaving for work…and expect OP to notice how much of HER wine was left…and read the wife’s mind as far as dinner plans?

“Hey hun, I was wondering if you could stop after work for milk and wine. And we don’t have anything planned for dinner, so if you have any ideas and want to pick something up, go for it!”

Beggars can’t be choosers.

 

[Wendy79]

I'm guessing she wouldn't, assuming it's something she likes and doesn't have to figure out what to make for dinner or actually make it.

What if she's not hungry for what he's planning to make? He already suggested pizza. If he didn't and grabbed a pizza?

She either eats the pizza or gets something for herself. Even if I'm not in the mood for pizza, if someone were to put down a pizza (with toppings I like) in front of me, I'd be like "oh, good, pizza."

 

[3boysmom]

Yeah

It’s almost like it shouldn’t always fall to one person to have to keep track of all of these things.

It sounds like it's tough for OP's spouse to make decisions so it may be easier if he does.

 

[3boysmom]

What if she's not hungry for what he's planning to make? He already suggested pizza. If he didn't and grabbed a pizza?

Then she could figure out something different on her own. Chances are that she would just eat it like everyone else who didn’t have to figure out what to make for dinner

Probably the same guys who "help" around the house and wait to be told what chores to do.

You're lucky to have her.

This. Hell, my wife is vegan and I’m not. Guess what I manage to do a couple times a week?

Have diarrhea

 

[artradley]

They key is to find all of that stuff endearing, and hope she finds guy stuff endearing.

Yeah, frustrating as hell. But there is humor in everything.

If you need booze, maybe get it yourself.

 

[stickman80]

Hate to break the news but her 3:30 cancelled on her which is why she originally agreed to go to the store.

After checking her planner she remembered it was a 3 way and she still had one coming which is why she flipped and asked you to go.

See, comedy using stereotypes about the sexes can be funny if you don’t take it too seriously.

I love how Wendy has to white knight for women EVERY SINGLE FVCKING TIME. Wendy, I’m sure you’re a nice gal, but y’all fvcking crazy. Sorry, not sorry.

This x100000000. I fvcking love my wife, but she’s a fvcking psycho. She will literally get mad and be a bitch to me because I did something wrong in her dream. Guys, you‘ve all dealt with this. I used to fall into the trap and we would scream, yell, and fight. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve calmed the fvck down. Now when she lays the trap, I just go silent and let her go….she quickly calms down and typically apologizes when she’s had time to realize how illogical she’s being. Works every time. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus is a real thing lol.

Thats the wife's job. Dinner and groceries.

This is me. My wife is indecisive so I take a little control. If we are low on stuff, I get it and make sure we don't run out, especially wine. I'll ask her what's for dinner, if she says IDK, I'll grab what I know we both like and make it. Pretty simple.
