    My wife complains about this to me. But in my defense, I only ask if I don’t really want to go myself. “Let’s go to the court house together” vs “you can come if you want”. I don’t want to subject her to the same shit I’d rather not be doing.

      I’ve found myself in similar situations with past partners. I’ve found that “I need to go to x place. I’d love to have your company if you’re not busy” is a good way to let them know that I want them there with me, but there’s no obligation if they don’t want to come.
