I know the basic answer but am looking to see if there are other alternatives that make sense given the situation. Today I told my SO that I wanted her and our daughter to go to my Grandmothers house to help with her garden. We’ve done everything else she wanted to do today ie. shopping, get coffee, and I would take her to get ice cream tonight. The only thing I asked her to do for me was that. Earlier in the day she said she would have to only run around with our daughter so she didn’t want to. I feel like thats invalid given she’s two and loves to be outside. Then, later in the day I asked her again and she’s said she wants to stay home and clean because the house is a mess to her. I understand wanting to clean, but I’ve expressed that this is what I want us to do as a family and was looking forward to us doing together. When I do, there is a “Fine i guess I’ll do what you want me to do” type of response. If we don’t do what she wants it becomes a complete melt down for the rest of the day and I’m controlling & only wanting to do what I want (even down to taking walks and not going the direction she wanted to go), but vice versa she never does anything that I want to do so if I bring it up I’m now forcing her and yatayatayata I’m bad guy #1. There’s a lot more that is making me distant towards this relationship but I’m trying to be as comforting, supportive, and understanding as possible. What should I do? Put Simply : SO never moves forward with plans I make, but is also upset if I don’t abide by hers. What should I do? submitted by /u/Realistic-Tooth3234
