For those of us that have SO’s. Or just a good friend.
Is there something they do that endears you to them but is a bit annoying?
When my SO and I go out for breakfast, she does not like to order the same thing I do. Sometimes, I won’t let her know what I am having until we order. Then I make her order first ;). That way, we both get what we want, even if it’s the same thing.
My SO has taken a year to pick out her new car. She ordered one and now she is in the process of changing it. Its a big purchase. We understand that nothing is perfect. But we should probably buy something, ummm right honey?
She is test driving the other car as I write. This will be her 5th or 6th test drive in this particular model. I have test driven them all with her many times, I just can’t do it anymore. I have done everything I can to help with this decision, but I can’t make it for her.
The dealership is an hour away, I really don’t want to test drive cars for the rest of my life. I stayed home.
I think it’s kinda cute, but ummm, let’s move on something. Make the decision, and don’t look back.
So, got any kind of cute, but kind of annoying stories?
Me: So, what are we doing tonight?
SO: What do you want to do?
Me: Well, I was wondering if you had any ideas, because I don’t.
SO: I don’t have any ideas–you’re the one in control. You know that.
Me: <gritting my teeth> Yes, honey, I know. But I’d like it if you’d just once pick out the place we go.
SO: Why?
Me: Because you always insist on paying for everything and I feel bad because it’s like I keep taking your money.
SO: You’re not taking it. I’m GIVING it to you. That’s why you make the decision.
Me: But I make the decision EVERY time we go out! Do you not have any opinions?!
SO: I’m sorry–please don’t get so upset with me.
Me: It’s all right…
SO: So, what do you want to do tonight?
It’s darling, it really is–the first five minutes. After that, I want to strangle him.
You know whats funny… I took the same steps because my girlfriend always ordered the exact same thing as me. Never fail! She would always look at the menu and say, “This looks good. This looks good. What are you having? I’ll have that.” Never fail… no matter what she actually wanted
