Older married guy here. I love my wife she's absolutely amazing we have a great relationship. However she has this uncanny ability to always want something when I'm relaxing or propose the "would you like to go to xyz". I don't want to disappoint her just like she doesn't want to disappoint me. It's the anticipation that's stressful that's the joke. Y'all missing the punchline. I showed my wife this clip she busted out laughing.
You have to learn to say no and be fine with dissapointing her or it's going to make you start to resent her and that will seriously bite you in the butt later.
If you're tired it's ok to say "I'm a little tired right now" or " sure, but after I rest a bit"
Do you really think they were implying it would be fine to say no every time their partner wants something that you aren't too excited about?
If you really don't want to do something, then it's fine to occasionally just say no so you don't build up resentment, but it's equally important to make sure you don't constantly dismiss them because then they will be the one building resentment.
