You have to look at what the underlying cause of your husband's frustration here. He was looking for you to make a decision on dinner and you didn't care. It's not an opinion, just a decision on what to eat. He was merely frustrated that you didn't care what you ate.

If a person consistently or routinely responds with "I don't care." or "I don't know." or "Whatever you want.", "We'll see...", "Maybe..." etc. it can be really irritating. Indecisiveness can possibly be a sign of passive-aggressive behavior. Not forming an opinion or making a decision one way or the other can also simply cause confusion or added stress to a situation.

Your husband has made it known to you that your behavior is causing him frustration. So from now on if I were you I would just make a decision one way or the other and stick to it, even if you really don't care one way or the other, for his sake just decide on something. :) Because if you really don't care, any of the options should be fine for you. And for the sake of peace and happiness, simply choosing one would simplify the situation and eliminate any potential confusion or frustration.

I think the other two people made good points. I would add that it sounds like your husband definitely has some feelings about your response but he didn't really share his feelings, he just said "You can't not have an opinion."

Have you thought about asking him why it bothers him so much when you respond that way?

"I don't care" sounds very dismissive to me. My 9 year old does that, and it drives me insane. Same thing with the response, "Sure."

Next time, just say, "That's sweet of you to offer; yes, please make me a plate, but not too much potatoes." Or whatever.

So, yes, people have a right to their opinions.
