Shopping with wife.

[Keesha]

I still have a ton of nice clothes after retiring. When I want a new shirt, pants, shorts or skirt, I check QVC as they carry a couple of lines that fit me perfectly and if not, returns are very easy. Have not ever had to return more than a couple of things in the years I have shopped with them. You could not pay me enough to shop for clothes or shoes in a regular store. When I grocery shop, I get what is on the list and I am out of there.

QVC! Isn’t that place great? They used to deliver to Canada but stopped. Boo!

I do most of the shopping. Enjoy it. My roommate will give me a list of her wants and any additional instruction I might need, otherwise I'm on my own. As a result I have switched from vanilla to strawberry ice cream.

Why is it women want a man escourt to go shopping (first question)? Why do they think we are willing to sit while they try on endless pants/tops/shoes/etc? When the shoe is on the other foot (as above) why are they surprised?

Among my family and friends I don't know a single wife who drags her spouse along to shop. Actually, I think all of us are Amazon Prime members so we seldom go to stores anyway.

The younger women I know don't go shopping with spouses, they go with girlfriends or female relatives.

Sounds like a generation gap thing to me. My in-laws always shopped together; in fact they did everything together. When my MIL came to live with us after being widowed, she was really shocked that DH and I did only certain things together. I don't think she ever did become accustomed to the idea.
