Do you and your spouse play "The Dinner Game"?

[enyawd72]

I love my wife...I really do, but my god sometimes she drives me nuts.

We go through this routine EVERY NIGHT.

Me...What do you want for dinner?

Her...I don't care.

Me...Okay, how about _________.

Her...No, I don't want that.

Me...What do you want?

Her...I don't care, really.

Me....How about _________.

Her...No, I don't feel like that.

Me...So, what do you feel like?

Her...I don't care...whatever you decide is fine.

Me...Okay, how about _________.

Her...No, we just had that last week.

This goes on for about an hour before she FINALLY tells me what she wants, and then I'll say to her...Why didn't you just say so in the first place?

Her answer...I didn't think you would want that.

Oh wow...when I was married (happily divorced these days), I'd make dinner M-Th, and the hubby would make dinner Fri, Sat, and Sun. Since we knew each other's eating habits and liked each other's cooking, we always ate what the other cooked, no discussion needed.

It happens to us on occasion, when we're burned out with everything. The worst is when we get that way at the grocery, and don't really buy anything for supper for the week. Then we're scrambling for stuff to cobble together after work!

My wife is the Michael Jordan of that game.

[Nostalgiabuff]

my wife always asks me that and my answer is always the same, "whatever" I really don't care s long as it is hot and cooked

My wife and I only do that if we go out to eat but it's never mean spirited. She cooks wonderful thing through the week. Last Sunday we had homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes, homemade biscuits, green beans, sweet corn,. She's a great chef. She's even figured out a homemade version of chick fil a which is outstanding. I also like to grill a lot in the summer.

add in 3 kids it's SOO MUCH more aggrivating anymore my asnwer is I cooked it you eat it

[SentientApe]

Nope. I do 99% of the cooking, and my wife appreciates every bite, unless the recipe is fattening. I happen to be an outstanding cook, so there really isn't ever any disagreement. I learned a long time ago to just go ahead and decide on a recipe and cook it; alternately, I give her a choice between two dishes and let her pick what suits her best.

I do all the cooking, and Ed is superb at playing the antagonist in this game. He is also good at "Not very hungry" in which I make a small meal because he has assured me he is, as the game name suggests, not very hungry. Then he proceeds to eat almost the entire meal by himself because he was "hungrier than I realized" and gets angry if (gasp) I want to eat also.

My ma used to say, "if you don't know what you want then you aint hungry"

In other words, don't eat if you're not hungry

[EmergencyIan]

Fortunately, I really don't go through that with my wife. I do all of the cooking and, at this point, I know what she does like and the few things that she does or can't eat (shell fish). The only issue that I ever run into is getting in a rut and making something (that started off being well liked) too often.

My wife and I often play "Hide the Salami" game. She is vegetarian and likes to hide the lunch meat in our fridge. Making a salami sandwich as a result takes way longer than usual....
