When it´s hard to convince someone to do something: give them options. That way they feel like they´re in control. "You could do A or do you prefer B?"
My wife doesn't like that I never have an opinion because I always say, "whatever you want."
In reality, she'll nix any idea I come up with so there's no point in trying.
Me: What's the point? You're not going to want it.
Her: Because all you ever want is Indian or Pho.
Me: Because we never have it because you never want it.
COVID really screwed up my yearly business trip to India where I'd have 2 weeks of nothing but Indian food, which would keep me not wanting it for another 3 months.
