roadrunner,

You might suggest to your boyfriend that he suggest something specific for dinner. He could say, "How does fried chicken sound for dinner?" Then, all you need to do is say yes or no. If he already knows your preferences. He will likely get it right.

He will appreciate the confirmation of his suggestion and you will avoid getting stuck in "decision making hell."

I also find my self asking people to reask a question in a different way because I can't understant or figure out how to answer them. I'm just not the sharpwhitted leader I use to be I think thats why I like to be in very small groups of people who don't know me. They have no exspictations.
Thanks for mentioning that you struggle with time. Its something that just seems to be so hard to master. I have no concept or inner clock any more and its nice to know I'm not alone in this and its normal. So thanks.

Ah darlin', you are describing my life. My husband does the cooking too! i just leave it up to him. He is such an awesome cook, that it is one decision I am sooo willing to give up.

But since the weather has been so lovely, he often asks me do you want to eat inside or out? Again a simple question but I find myself wondering way too long. And he will reply in or out? It forces me to decide and I do.

OMG, you would think I was deciding a life or death matter.

He is patient with me, thanks to his understanding
Peace
Grady Lady

Mostly he picks what he thinks I would choose. Then I wonder how does he know what I would have chosen when I don't even know! I guess he's going on my previous life (before pcs).
