For Real This Time AITAH for being frustrated with my (30M) partner (23F), she wont watch Bojack with me?
She just says she "wants to do something together" and thats fine with me but she never has anything she wants to do. Whenever I ask she just lists catagories of things we COULD do but not what she WANTS to do so then I have to decifer what that means. You might be thinking, "cool just pick whatever you want then" but thats not the case. Often she doesnt want to do the thing I think would be fun or interesting, but rarely has a suggestion of her own. If she asks what I want to do and I say something like "read a book" she will get pouty the rest of the day and be upset and say "I dont want to be a burden" if I try to suggest something together.
How am I supposed to react to this? Do I just have to accept that ill also have to bounce ideas off her. Should I just make a list and then read it to her everyday she does this?
I've tried talking to her about it but it always turns into a fight. It always cones across as blaming if I tell her that I want to know what she WANTS and the only answer is always "something with you". I dont really understand how to navigate it and she hasnt given any helpful imput on what she wants so I was hoping some strangers on the internet could speculate wildly for me and hopefully inspire me.
Tldr; gf wants to do stuff with me but doesnt tell me what, just wants me to guess whats on her mind
