[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been together for 3 years. He is a bit socially awkward and doesn't do very well when having to speak to people. I am a more outgoing and talkative person. I, by default, have usually been the one to handle talking business. This includes asking employees questions about where something is in a store, calling to inquire about something, you get the gist. I feel like I'm enabling DH to not improve on his communication skills by always doing things for them. This evening, he wants to go to a restaurant that's having some special happy hour, but he asked me to call to see if they were doing it. At the initial moment, I was dealing with our toddler, so I told him I couldn't do it that moment but he could call (he literally wasn't doing anything but mindless scrolling on social media). Fast forward about 10-15 minutes, he kind of has a bit of an attitude and says "Are you still dealing with Larlo?" (he sees me on my laptop so he's kind of being a smart ass in saying that I'm not dealing with the child anymore). I respond and say no, but I'm working on XYZ (I was writing up some things for one of my clients). About 10 minutes goes by and he gets up to go upstairs. I casually ask "What's the plan? Are we still heading out?" He responds with a clear attitude and says "Did you call?"

At this point, I'm ticked because he's irritated at me and won't go out to dinner because HE doesn't want to call the place.

If we talk about it later, he'll probably use the excuse that I'm always too busy for him and I'll do everything for everyone else except him, which really isn't the case. Deep down, I think it's truly because he's too "scared" or embarrassed to call the restaurant.

Am I wrong here? Would you have just caved in and call? Am I being petty?[/quote]
