Shopping with hubby

Tell him you are doing something else, meeting girls etc.

I would but can’t drive so he has got to drive me to the mall.

I just tell mine the truth, that I like shopping alone. We go for coffee or lunch together if he needs to buy something.

Flutterby1 - get a taxi/cab. Be an independent woman.What's a "hubby"

I’d rather stick pins in me eyes.

Does he read the paper drink tea or coffee?
Tell him to relax and enjoy himself with the paper and drop him off at a coffee shop in the Mall you visit.
Or get a taxi as Iam said.

Our local shopping city has lots of buskers and street entertainers, my husband likes to stand around watching them, while I pop in and out of shops, it works!

Just asking - are you in America?

There is a pub next to the station in Liverpool with a blackboard outside instructing wives to leave their husbands in the creche.

My husband is a liability at the shops. He stands outside the shop telling me to 'take my time'. I prefer to leave him at home.

Kittylester I am in UK.
Thanks to all for your comments. I will have to just tell him exactly how I feel. Don’t think he will be pleased.

I do wonder why some women go shopping with their other half if it's a problem. I must admit I'd hate not to drive, I'm a terribly ponderous shopper, I wouldn't want to shop with me, I'm better on my own really. If we go together, I say to my husband "oh buy the paper and read it in the car, you know what I'm like especially round the bananas" don't want them too green or too small!

I leave mine in a book shop and know he will still be there when I am ready.

Ha ha! Coincidentally I asked my husband earlier today if he'd like to go shopping in Liverpool with me tomorrow. His reply? "I'd rather cut off both my arms and legs"!
As I'm much happier shopping alone, I'm fine with that. (Him staying at home, not dismembering himself!)

I hate shopping. My husband is so much better than I am so I tend to let him go.

My wife and I always go shopping together but when we arrive at the Mall we part for she loves clothes shopping while I hate it.

I always head for the large electrical stores with the huge Currys store at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol being a joy to my eyes, and I can well spend hours in there losing all concept of time.

My wife usually has to fish me out of there when she has completed her "rig out shop" or rings me to say she will meet me in some restaurant or pub etc.

So that is how we maintain "married bliss" on our shopping trips. ?

Oh forgot, for Christmas shopping, we always make it a weekend away. Last year we went to St Ives Cornwall. There are some wonderfull little gift shops in that town and the other small resort towns of cornwall where you really can get something different to the same run of the mill stuff you find in the big chain outlets.

The above makes for a lovely trip and hotel weekend and shopping together a pleasure.

Shopping together, key is, think outside the box. ??

Iam64 what's wrong with hubby?

I wish my husband would shop with me - not all the time obviously but when I want him to.
Just tell him when you want to go alone. It's ok to do that Flutterby

annepl, I can't stand the use of the word. I find it patronising and all round awful. I can understand (and indeed have a) husband, partner, life partner etc but hubby - aaaarrrgh.

Iam64

Agree!

Hubby ? NO NO NO!

Dreadful, awful, just bleurgh!

Would you want to be "Wifey"???? I think not!

Shopping with hubby - wow - you are brave.

Not something I have ever done!

Just say not this time thanks !

Can’t drive ? Get a bus/taxi/Uber .

I loathe shopping, my husband absolutely loves it but he won't go anywhere on his own!
I have to be dragged into the shops and will only go when absolutely necessary. I dash around and grab the things I need then dash out.
He wants to browse in every shop no matter what it sells and he will happily spend hours mooching around flea markets and car boot sales. Yuk.
When we go food shopping to the likes of Asda, he has to check out all the TV's, clothing, sportswear etc etc.
My heart sinks when we have to go to a DIY store such as B&Q as its almost impossible to get him out.
I have a shopping tolerance of approximately 20minutes after which I slowly lose the will to live.

My bloke is a total pain in the arse, when shopping. When HE'S shopping, he wants me there to comment on what he likes, is trying on etc.

My I'M shopping he has about a 5 minute tolerance before he starts complaining.

No Phoenix I most certainly would not want to be wifey. Hadn't thought of it like that.

Gagajo mine is the same. I suspect many are.
Magpie you paint such a vivid picture ?
