People who won’t tell you what they want and expect you to guess

I actually find it is much harder to get a male to decide. Often they can’t be bothered to take time to think about it. Of course if the then complain , that is just plain rude.

So irritating especially when the what do you want for dinner is answered with anything.

I chose every evening meal we had for 12 years, except when eating out, that is still over 4000 meals!

Mr. B is a master at this. Luckily he has always approved of my choices so I haven’t had to murder him.

I find men are the worst at saying what they would like for birthdays or Christmas. I’ve never had the disappointed treatment though. That is ill mannered.

My ex (male) was a master of this kind of thing.
It drives me spare; I find it insidious and unpleasant.

Why do people do this? They won’t tell you what they want - which cake for a birthday, what restaurant to go to, what kind of gift they’ed like - and then act disappointed when you go on your own and decide. I hate stereotyping but am I wrong in feeling that this is more a feminine than a masculine behavior!
