The therapist laughed

I was telling my therapist about a recent (but not unique) discussion with DH. He called me over and had several ways he could do something, and asked me for my opinion. I picked one I thought was fine. He laid out some more arguments for the other ways, one in particular. Okay, with new info I said that my opinion was for two of the ways. 

DH kept going. I asked if he was just trying to work through the options by talking. Nope he said he wanted my preference. I told him mine again. He gave me more info and kept leaning toward a different option. 

I said he should just tell me which answer he wanted so we could stop this conversation as I was done going around and around. 'Cause he definitely wanted his answer not my opinion.

The therapist laughed and then asked me if I really said that. Yup. I did. I'm wondering if she's gonna try that at home. Wink

I used to have a boss like that...would ask for everyone's opinion and instead of taking feedback into account, would just keep the conversation going until everyone touched on the idea he wanted to implement in the first place. Everyone just stopped offering their opinion.

My DH does that, too.  In his case, I mark it down to boredom.  We are retirees and I think he misses interaction with others so has to fall back on (poor) me.  Lol.
