    Make a rule that one of you has to propose three options, and the other has to pick one of those three. Your partner can choose which role they want.

    It’s a bit like telling two children that one can cut the cake, but the other gets first pick - but it’s a hack to combat your own (collective) indecisiveness.

      Smart. Get 'em hooked on trolley problems when they’re young.

        It helps that the proposal is clearly reasonable, and can be made beforehand, before there’s any friction. I might be lucky to have a pretty reasonable partner though.

        Though in reality, for me the problem is that often I’m both persons. I don’t want to come up with what’s for dinner, but I also don’t feel like anything. The above hack still works to trick myself into at least making a decision.
