[quote=jerryc41]Ah, yes. I remember those days. 
I carry my wife of 58 years purse frequently. Like another comment, I say it looks great with my outfit. As a real man, I am never bothered by other peoples comments about a purse.

I should have brought an empty tool box and put the pocketbook inside that.

I’m never fussed about being put to use as a purse holder. I do appreciate those stores which provide a generously sized bench or a few chairs in a husband parking zone.

I feel for you!I can’t tell you how many boring hours I spent in women’s clothing departments waiting on my previous wife shopping (maybe that had something to do with her being previous ). Thank the Lord my current wife does her shopping alone (probably so I won’t know what she spends) - maybe that’s one reason we’ve been married for 40 years.

I wasn’t embarrassed holding the bag, it was the boredom. I’ve thrown my current wife’s bag over my shoulder many times - the standing joke is that it’s a “European shoulder bag”.

You BROKE the CODE!
I get cold shivers inside ANY retail establishment that doesn't sell FOOD, hardware, sporting goods or CAMERA'S (and those are an endangered species).

Married 53 years, have always gone shopping with wife, don't mind holding her purse. Benefit of shopping together has been we spend less money overall, less likely to impulse buy, always ask "do we really need this.

Many years ago in a ladies dress shop while my wife was trying on dresses another woman came out of the dressing rooms and asked me to zip up her dress, when I told my wife later she said I know she was on her own and I said the talk big guy will do it

My wife was a professional shopper, a lot of her obsession was a side effect of her Parkinson's medicine. I proudly carried her purse, pushed her chair, patiently waited near changing rooms for 13 years.
She's gone now, four years ago and I still miss those days. That time was the good old days.

I've been sent to the car to bring a purse inside. The first time was the hardest.

They should have racks with magazines about cars and sports.

She ha gorgeous figure it was shame when my wife finished trying on her new clothes and we had to go to cashier and for her new clothes and I did not get told off for looking

After two hours trawling the stores my wife's patience snapped. "You are making this trip miserable, you aren't any help and you could show at least some interest in what I'm buying for our holiday trip!" she said in exasperation.
I leant forward and in a lowered voice replied "Darling, we are in the middle of the Ladies Lingerie section. How much interest can I show before they throw me out?".
