I was just thinking about how the majority of mild annoyances (not really arguments, just those "sigh" moments) in our relationship are because of my tendency to ask "why?". Here's an example:
Me: So, do you want me to pick something up for dinner on the way home?
Him: Sure
Me: Ok, what do you want?
Him: How about the taco truck?
Me: Sounds good...so why do you want taco truck?
Him: Well, we can get something else if you don't want that...
Me: No, it sounds good I just wanted to know why you wanted it
Him: Really, I don't care where you go, get something you like
Me: I really do want taco truck! I'll go there
Him: Just get something else!
Me: No, I'm going there!
Lol...this is a daily occurance...stupid I know, but I just can't help being curious about "why" he want's something or "why" he does something, even simple things. It's not really a problem because we are mostly just joking around/slightly annoyed. I've tried explaining to him that I'm not disagreeing with him but he doesn't understand why I would ask why then. Soooo, is there any way to convey this to him? Like I said, this isn't really a problem, I'd just like to be able to explain to him why I do this in a way he will understand.
