Rephrase your question to, 'would you like a cup of tea' and your problem is solved without causing further grief.

But a "no" response would not resolve the situation.

I think it would, you simply don't make her the brew you had decided you on drinking.

It resolves the immediate situation.

Then the onus is passed to her to volunteer that information, the lack of which was causing the initial frustration.

So a thread that's been ticking along nicely has some involvement from a women and it descends in to chaos. Who'd have thunk it?

I got told off for bringing that up in another thread; it's a phone autocorrect thing.

No, that was just a tag-team combo of poor grammar and misogyny on my part. Sorry grammar Nazis and girls.

So, I've been out in the garden working for a couple of hours and my phone is in the utility room on the side. I invite her out to see the fruits of my labour and we hear my phone beeping away indoors for an incoming text.

"Was that your phone"?

"Yes".

"Who is it texting"?

Indeed, the beverage in the question can be changed to suit your cicrumstanceses, for example at home when the kids are in bed 'would you like a screaming orgasm?' Assuming she says yes your luck is in or you are going to need plenty of ice.

Jesus. You can't compare Nazis and girls. One is a group of egotistical maniacs certain that they have the correct view of the world and all others should be eliminated or put under their control. The other is err... Ok someone help me out here?

Not my Mrs. but a lady on Radio 2.
Jeremy Vine was on the Radio talking about the fact that the EU are banning high powered vacuum cleaners from the end of the month.
Lady gets very upset and pleads that she cannot afford to buy a new vacuum cleaner this month.

Jeremy explains that the EU are not banning them, they are simply banning sales of them.

Have you met a woman before? The onus will still be on you!

reminds me of the david baddiel skit

shared house scenario - "jim was talking to his girlfriend in america for two hours last night"

"oh..was he on the 'phone????"

"no, he was shouting".

I'm not indignant - I just feel sorry for anyone stuck in a relationship who feels so miserable/powerless that they have to look for sympathy from random Internet people.

Please - talk to her about it (nicely), or leave.

Woah, kind of the nuclear option don;t you think? I mean my OH always winds me up by asking for non-specific stuff (Pass me the thingy), and then goes off on one when I don't understand what a "thingy" is.

So would you say we need counseling, or shall I just move out now?
