My (29m) girlfriend (29f) can never give me straight answers for almost everything

I’ve been with my girlfriend for 6 years now and a pet peeve of mine is she seems to almost never be able to come to conclusions of what she wants to do. She either can’t give me a straight yes or no or she will just deflect the question back to me.

If I ask do you want to do ____? She will just say idk is that what you want to do?

Or if I say “I’m going to get a coffee do you want to come with me?”

She’ll say “do you want me to go?”

And every single time I express to her that I wouldn’t have invited her and asked if I didn’t want you to. You can never just tell me yes or no. It’s always asking me the question back.

I asked her why she does this and she doesn’t know. It got to the point that one day I said to her “Okay so I’ll just make the decision for both of us then and won’t ask you anymore” and she got mad at that lol

I just wish she had her own opinion on decisions. She’s been like this for as long as I’ve known her.

Don’t get me wrong I have my days where even I’m like this but with her it’s almost everything. I guess I’m just tired of “I’m cool with whatever you want to do” or “is that what you want to do?”

It’s like why can’t you just have your own damn opinion? If you tell me no at least that’s something I can WORK with. 😂

I brought all of this up to her a decent amount of times and she just gets really defensive about it all.

I use to have a friend like this as well in our group. I’m all for going with the flow and being cool with whatever but sometimes in a group it’s nice to get multiple opinions and suggestions. The ironic thing is although he said he was cool with anything by the time we came to a decision and we’re doing it…9/10 times he wasn’t happy with it. We gave you the floor dude lol

TLDR: Girlfriend avoids giving clear yes/no answers, deflects decisions back to me, and defaults to “whatever you want.” It’s been constant for 6 years, I’ve explained it multiple times, and it’s sometimes annoying me because it feels like she has no opinions and puts all decision-making on me.
