Wife and I solved this by rule of 3. She gets to decide if she’s suggesting options or making a choice. Whoever is suggesting options gives 3 choices. They must be something the other potentially likes. The other then either chooses one of the three or has to suggest 3 choices of their own. We rarely have to go past the original 3 options any more.
Whenever I get through two options with this, I say, “Okay, you pick. I don’t really want to play this game. If you don’t want to pick I’ll make one of the first offers.”
My wife and I are stuck in a perpetual battle. Nothing ever sounds good to her, and everything sounds good to me.

I like this idea.
She tries to be like me. “I dont care, i just want you to pick.”
Mexican? No. Indian? No. Italian? No. Sushi? No.
Oh so you do care. This is why you always pick. I will eat anything at any time.

So she just needs to throw out ideas, problem solved!
Jk I have this problem too. I want things riiiiiight up until they are on my plate ready to be eaten. Then I lose interest.
It’s worse with going to eat, because the work involved in cooking really cements me to eating that thing.
