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!

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.

I’d rather stick pins in me eyes.

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

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

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

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

Now I don’t want to sound like a nagging, ungrateful wife but I have a huge problem shopping with my hubby. I really can’t stand it. He always wants to come with me and I end up not buying anything as hate that he is standing about with me. It’s not that he is doing anything he is just there. If we split up for a while I am constantly looking at the time to make sure I get back to meet him where arranged.
Now that Xmas shopping time is here he has started asking ‘do you want to go shopping’ aaagh.
Suggestions please.
