Wow, who would have thought that life decision between husband and wife would be so difficult. I love my wife more than anything, but we have a real issue when it comes to the big choices. Ok, ok – when I say big I don’t mean “hey, hunny should we start that family tonight” or “how do you feel we should vote on proposition 184 in the upcoming election” or “do you think we should paint the ceiling beige”.

It’s hard to explain, but here is our typical conversation:

“How was your day?”

“I don’t know. How was yours?”

“Same as always.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah…”

“Wanna do something tonight?”

“I don’t know. Do you want to?”

“I don’t care… it’s up to you.”

“Ok.”

“Like what?”

“You decide.”

“No, you.”

“I don’t want to…”
