Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

I do try to show patience but I think she feels more comfortable when she takes her own time without me being there. I understand that because when it comes to electronics shopping, she does the same to me, let me go alone that is.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

25

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

I am saying exactly what TLK is saying from a females point of view

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

What if he's ultra-patient and doesn't mind?

I just realized I=it's usually me who loses patience or gets tired. But then again he isn't undeceive like me so things get done a lot quicker anyway, ahem.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

If he has good taste and is ultra patient then its fine.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

The point of being agree with me is no where now, because the question is not How much your wife is interested to go to the shopping with you, or does she enjoy shopping with u or wants to go alone, my question was for all those Men, who's wives want them to accompany them in their shopping and yet they feel not joining them OR joining them... I hope I have cleared my point :@:

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

I rather go alone as I don't understand why I have to make my husband go through hell with me. I went to buy stuff for my upcoming trip: gifts and stuff, and it took me 3 hours to get everything I needed. It was frustrating enough for me so why make the dude go over this. I think he prefers to go for home-related shopping with me. Clothes and shoes...no way.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

so its actually women, who dont want their hubby to go along :cb:

but in my case, I enjoy shopping with my hubby, and so he does too!! :@:

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

is this the same hubby who decided to drive away without you because you were 10 secs late while putting on make up? i really dont see how shopping with someone like that can be enjoyable for you or him. :hoonh:

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

why dont you blog about your husband?

33

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

I like having her around, because she can give her perspective on stuff. But sometimes, I know what I am looking for and I don't need second opinions in which case I will do my own shopping.

as far as giving her some amount for shopping, she has credit and debit cards, she can go buy what she needs. although i do know when i am not with her, she tends to buy too much stuff for the kids, and then has to go return it.

for us solo shopping is more of a necessity than preference, its a pain to shop with kids, so unless we can leave them with a baby sitter if you want to shop in peace, go solo. and then when we do have a baby sitter, we would rather go out for a nice meal than shopping.

an advantage of store websites and return policies is that we can show each other stuff online and order online or go get it, and then return it if it does not work.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

why do we women always buy too much stuff for the kids? why, why why? Today I bought this pair of jeans for my choti only to realize that I had bought the exact same pair a few weeks ago…I guess I liked it too much :hehe:. Now I have to return it. Talk about fuzools. sigh

35

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

Because they are fazool kharch, as they don't have to work and earn the money?

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

When I go shopping....and I noticed this last week as well...the boyfriends/husbands have this bored, resigned, martyr-like expressions on their faces as their girlfriends/wives drag them from one girlie store to another...and model one outfit after another while guy sits or (less mercifully) stands patiently outside the fitting room. When and if I get married....I don't want to do that to my lesser half. I prefer shopping alone...as I get more accomplished that way. At the same time....I admit I have no patience to shop for men's clothes and gadgets.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

haha that is so cute.
my MIL and Mom go nuts over shopping for chillens. I dont plan on buying ANYTHING. Just will refer them to pretty shops. And watch them go berserk while I sip on cola

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

So far my husband seems to want to shop with me. I admit it's not something I have much of an opinion on. Id rather have it alone cos I feel like the poor thing doesnt really have much of an opinion on things and he will refuse to say bus bhi karo unlike my brothers. I guess its cos the marriage is fairly recent.

He is useful in dealing with annoying male vendors and carrying bags though. I totally walk away and let him duke it out with the vendors and then bat my lashes at him and praise him for shopping so well :P

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

^I will say that I've noticed men tend to be better (even skilled) at bargaining. And for super expensive purchases like gold...a car...a home...it's good to have them around.

Re: Men Shopping with their wife!

**when and if i get a chance to be a husband, i'll gladly drive my wife to the mall, carry her on my shoulder to the store, help her in her shopping with a smiling face, open my big fat wallet at the checkout cunter, carry her and her loot back to the car, drive her back to home, cook N serve her a sumptuous candle-light dinner and then finally i'll message her feet before she goes to bed! ...

***...nah! i would rather go fishing ;)*
