Kettricken,

We have had some ludicrously drawn-out "What do you want for dinner?" conversations in my house. Not sure that has anything to do with PA, more like the state of terminal indecision induced by poor planning, hunger, and exhaustion.

I don't understand all the frustration over this topic. IMO, the easiest way to deal with this is to ask what he wants, he says he doesn't care, and then heat up a plain, bland frozen pizza each and every time (or something equally boring). After a while, he might start making some suggestions.

But this silly arguing over who is going to take responsibility for a decision is just an attempt to avoid being blamed by the other for you making a poor decision. So just make a poor decision (the pizza) and let him deal with the consequence. The task for you is to deal with your consequence, which means ignoring the blame he will try to throw at you for always baking a pizza. This is really nothing more than a boundary issue.
