xor.

My wife is "a" and I am "b" and we have a yes/no issue. Then:

-if a and b are both yes or no, the decision is made.

-if a says yes and b says no, the decision is unable to be made

-if b says yes and a says no, the decision is unable to be made

Equal vetoing power (that is that either is allowed to negate the decision of the other) gets you nowhere. xor.

It is a different issue altogether. We are discussing whether I have the right to override my wife's wishes or not. How we solve a problem is another question.
I'm not talking about specific issues, the problem solving of each situation you mentioned is however exactly the same.
