I was out today (drab) with the SO and we were in an outlet village with lots oof clothing stores all with sales and full of ladies summer dresses and tops. I knew my SO wouldn't be in the mood to look for herself but how I longed to have been there enfemme by myself and browse the racks. Cruelty, simple cruelty.
But then perhaps fate was being cruel to be kind. I'd have spent a fortune!
If I was in your situation, I would have the same outcome. My wife doesn't like shopping for herself and I love to browse the racks. A very cruel situation it is.
Helen, My wife is the same way now. I am the one who goes shopping.
My wife does not want to shop with me for me. She does know as we're in the ladies clothing section that I am looking at things for me. If I ever found something I simply "needed to have," I'd suggest she let me check out by myself. That said, I go to a major city about 60 miles away at least monthly (medical appointments), so I can shop by myself on those occasions. The good news is I'm heading there tomorrow.
My wife and I don?t shop together anymore. Years ago with the kids at home was a different story. My wife hardly shops for clothes either. Her focus is on gardening, hobby supplies and trinkets for the house.
I hardly shop for men?s clothes either, but let me in a thrift shop and the ladies department is where I?m headed. Ladies have SO many choices. Now my wife thinks I?m headed there every time I leave the house, which is not true.
Sometime life sure does not play fair.
Once my ex-wife knew about Raychel and accepted, If we were in a situation like that,
if I saw something that I wanted. I would pick it up and buy it.
Once I was in a shop and saw a dress I really liked. I did not pick it up.
but later told her I really liked it, she said we should go back and get it.
I did and sadly it looked a lot better on the rack.
Another time I saw a swimsuit I liked, she said get it if you want.
It was a bit too big for me, So I left it hanging there.
Hopefully someday you will get to shop like you want.
Now I am single and I shop for myself in guy mode all the time.
