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.

So many problems are spawned from guys uttering the phrase "I don't care." Hopefully you can try and avoid that in the future and be a bit more interactive.

As a married woman I can tell you - Don't EVER tell your wife "I don't care" when asked your opinion OP. Poor choice of words, you could have said - I'm as undecided as you are Hun, let's make both or whatever is easiest. Offering to help doesn't hurt either. Good luck! I would just make both giving the kids a choice.

Just pick one. Dear lord, how hard is that? After the first five minutes, you should have said, "okay, let's just go with" whichever one and be done with it. If someone asks for your opinion, "I don't care" is a terrible answer. This has nothing to do with being married or pleasing your wife, it's about being considerate of the other person. You are NOT being considerate.

Not to mention the kids. This is for the kids. Maybe that's what made her more upset. Saying " I don't care" about something for the kids. Cook dinner for her and hopefully you guys make up.

Pulled pork sounds better

Just pull your pork out and go meatballs deep. I could do better, but it's to early for me. In all honesty I think pulled pork is more versatile, you could do a sandwich or do it over rice or just plain.

I do agree she took it badly but sometimes women just need an answer so they feel better about the decision. she doesn't want to feel like she is making the wrong one even though it may seem like a small matter.
