Then I say, (example at BoneFish Grill) "I am going to have an order of the Bang Bang Shrimp" (which I love. That's the only thing there I really like)
Then, MY appetizer arrives, my wife thinks it's proper to share it around the table. I say it isn't.
Recently, six people, I was the only one to order a calamari appetizer. When it came, it got shared around the table, and by the time it got back to me, there were two little pieces left.
My position is that if they want something, they should order it. My wife's position is "what are you going to do, sit there and eat it in front of everybody without offering it?"

A simple solution might be to invite the entire group to select and share several different appetizers. Most often there will be quick agreement on which ones to order especially if the requester is an effective controller. Then the only issue that you will need to be concerned about is "double dipping"!
