Today, my wife and I are planning a simple team meal for our son's team. We're stuck on pulled pork or meatballs. I've told her I don't care. She's still indecisive. This has been going on for two days. We're now not talking, over meatballs. FML

Today, my wife doesn't like to cook. She doesn't like when I cook, because I enjoy cooking and she says I'm "making her feel guilty." She also doesn't want to order take out, as it's "a foolish waste of money." The fuck are we supposed to eat? FML
Today, I was making dinner for my family while my wife was at work. She walked in the door with McDonald's, even though she knew I was cooking. Then our kids saw and started screaming that they wanted McDonald's too and that it was unfair. I've told her not to pull this shit and she won't listen. FML
Today, I made broccoli and peas with dinner. My girlfriend pouted, sulked, and refused to eat "yucky veggies", demanding fries or chips. Apparently, I'm dating a fucking toddler. FML
Today, we're visiting my wife's extended family. They're nice people but they eat like crap; I haven't had a single fresh vegetable or fruit in days, and everything they cook is overcooked and smothered in cheap sauce or "seasonings." My stomach is about to go on strike. FML
Today, I realized just how spoiled and immature my boyfriend is when I asked him several times what he’d like for dinner. Getting no answer, I made steak, potatoes and salad. He then sulked and refused to eat it, since he wanted spaghetti and meatballs instead. FML
Today, my estranged fiancé invited my son (from a previous relationship) and I over for dinner, hoping to reconcile somewhat. When he brought out the roast, my son pointed and yelled, "I'M NOT GONNA EAT THAT!" He was so offended that he kicked us both out and now refuses to talk. FML
Today, my girlfriend went on yet another long-winded rant about how dogs are family and should be treated as such, whilst stuffing her face with ribs. I asked her what the difference was between a dog and the pile of pig parts on her plate. Her only response was to call me a monster and dump me. FML
Today, my husband once again thought it would be funny to rage-bait our child during dinner. There was screaming, food being thrown around, and a whole lot of running around instead of eating. I already had a headache and was already overstimulated, so I had to fend off a meltdown. All this over chicken burgers. FML
Today, my son won't go to his team dinner because the other kids made fun of him for "eating like a monkey." My wife says this is my fault. Funny, when I tried to teach him not to eat with his fingers, she got mad and ranted that "people ALL OVER THE WORLD eat with their fingers, it's normal, stop criticizing him!" FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML

Why not half pulled pork and half meatballs? Problem solved.

You could have phrased your "I don't care" in a nicer way. That's the problem, not the choice of food.

Pulled pork is easier. Both foods are quite messy to put in the hands of kids. might wanna consider that OP.

Meatballs are more fun to make though, if you're making them from scratch I mean.

Be a man and choose one, unless she doesn't like your choice, in which case you agree with her and the problem is solved. Also, pulled pork is way better.

Can't you do both? Then you'd have leftovers to freeze.

At least you are not deciding on organic this, gluten free that.

Gotta love Marriage where 99.9% of all arguments are over somethings stupid like meatballs. I would just give her an opinion instead of saying I don't care I admit I hate it when my husband does that to me because hearing his opinion helps me process

Why not ask your son what he thinks his team would rather have? Or do both and have plenty of yummy leftovers.

It's a joint decision. She can't choose. Pick one yourself. Problem solved

My husband and I have "I don't care" conversations every time we go out to eat. We solve this with a "I'll pick 3, you pick 2, I'll pick one" so everyone's happy. I know this isn't helpful in your situation OP, but I know the indecisiveness struggle from both sides. I agree with another commenter saying to just ask your son what he would prefer. Or since so many people have food restrictions these days, try and find out if a team mate has a restriction to something in either/or. That way your decision is made for you. Another option is to take voted on here! I vote meatballs because I love making them from scratch! Good luck OP :)
