Well, my OP was the source of my rant. Allow me to demonstrate more clearly.

What would you like me to cook for supper?
What were you thinking?
I'd like to cook whatever you want. I have almost anything available in my kitchen. You could look at the choices I typed out for you (months ago).
What are you having?
I hadn't really thought about it. I'd like to know what you want.
What do you feel like cooking?
Whatever you would like.
You decide.
Okay... I'll take out scallops for you.
Are you having scallops?
No. I am going to have soup.
Well, I don't want you to cook scallops just for me.
It's no problem. I would enjoy cooking scallops for you.
PAUSE................
No. I have things in my freezer I should use up. I was planning to have the Swedish Meatballs you cooked last weeks. I froze what I couldn't eat and I really should use them up because I don't want to keep them in the freezer too long. If I keep them in the freezer too long they lose their taste........... two minutes later....
Okay, no problem.
I hang up the phone and fucking scream.

Can I get anything for you?
Are you going out?
I might.
Where are you going?
Out.
When?
(And this shit can go on for five minutes with NO answer!)

AGGGGHHHHH!
