@jola.jovani: pro tip: make sure once your partner does share their “cons” that you don’t jump in trying to change their opinion. You need to be able to tolerate a difference of opinion and create space for that expression otherwise they’ll feel very justified in not sharing

complete neutrality also puts all the emotional labor onto the other person

But I'm neutral. I have no pros or cons other than the ever present con of leaving my house, but that's a given. If I have a bunch of pros my response would be more enthusiastic. If I have a bunch of cons I would get more clarification on the situation before agreeing to be involved.

I ask people to say “I don’t have a preference” over “I don’t care”

This is really helpful. What I need is information, I’m not trying to change how you feel

“I had a late lunch is not a response to what do you want for dinner especially when there is a whole family to consider.

I'm really bad with this. I had my friends over and I gave suggestions on things we could do that night. They barely reacted to any of it, just said yeah that's fine. So I didn't book anything. 😅

it's easier to be noncommittal when I don't have a strong opinion and the alternative is to try and guess what I'm supposed to be excited about/which is the right answer.

Tone matters. A resounding “Sure!” in comparison to a “..sure” changes everything.

My boyfriend has mastered this and I love that he is more of a steady and calm person emotionally. But he communicates so well with how he is feeling, I don't feel like he isn't participating

Since you can’t see my part 2 here it is. if you’re neutral about something and you say, I could go or I could stay. your partner has to make a decision for you therefore it’s emotional labor.
