My partner asks me what I want for dinner, and I say it doesn't matter, we'll have whatever you want. They reply with "I always pick, and it's exhausting, you need to pick" and I say... "hamburgers."

"Nope, had them yesterday"

"Ramen?"

"Not feeling Ramen today"

"Indian?"

"I already have acid reflux"

"Italian?"

"I'm Italian'd out"

"Look, you're the one with the restrictive diet. I'm literally a human garbage can and I will eat anything in my vicinity, you clearly have opinions on what you want to eat, and I don't want to play food 20 questions until I guess what you want for dinner tonight, so just pick already"

"Why do I always have to pick?"

It's literally been the same conversation every night for 3 years so far. I'm about ready to just record my responses in order to expedite the decision.

I'll second Vincent's suggestion. One person proposes three choices, the other either picks one or counters with three new choices. I also recommend having something on hand that takes zero preparation. For us that's usually some charcuterie, tuna with crackers, or a leftover dish that can be served cold.
