So I'm out with Mrs Smoke since she wanted to buy some stuff. We are in the ladies sections of Marks & Spencer checking out ladies tops, when suddenly she decides to try one on and darts towards the ladies changing room......leaving me with her freaking HANDBAG!!! I'm like WTF JUST HAPPENED?????

Now here i am wandering the ladies section with a big ladies handbag, women are looking at me like i'm effing weird, cant go to the bloody men's section coz then i'd really look like a weirdo checking stuff out with a handbag.

How the heck do i hold this bag so i dont look GAY? Anyone else been in such a situation? Share your experience, I'm still recovering. Grrrr!!

Oh just tuck it under your arm and hold it tight and appear nonchalant. I did that once when I happened to be in a similar situation. A folded handbag tucked under your arm goes out-of-shape and is hardly noticeable.

Though it does get a bit nervy sometimes tagging behind my wife in women's sections and she does the disappearing act with loads of lingerie, skirts and t's wrapped around my hands and shoulders because I cannot put them in the basket as she has not decided what to buy. I get lots of smiles and grins from other women in there for they understand what I am going through.

The worst is when she wants me to buy something for her without accompanying me. I have to go through loads of women clothing trying to find the exact stuff she wants. At these time I just ask the sales girls to help me.

Smoke, next time grab a shopping basket and put the handbag inside! Then it will look as if you are buying a handbag.

And stop moaning, this is JUST the beginning! I will give her loads more tips next time I see her ;) :P

By smoke• 21 Jun 2010 12:16

No! Its just NOT a MANly thing to be doing. oh AND we do not ask your opinion when picking out our underwear...so there's NO WAY I'm giving my opinion on sexy lingerie...just buy the damn thing and lets GOOOOOOO!

Awww...its called love in its "actual" form. And as you get older and deeper into your marriage you will realise that the "bollywood" version of love is just rubbish.

It's these "little" things that matter....holding the dreaded ladies handbag, or like Mehnis said being dumped with clothes on your shoulder, being sent to the grocery store again second time in a row cos she forgot that small but very essential item on her list.

Men generally never mouth 'I love you' but when they check to make sure the car is OK, the petrol full, the tyres are not flat...or when they call up to make sure you've reached the office safe although it's only a 2 min drive from home...or when they make that yucky tasting coffee because their better half is having a headache or not well...then you know...that they really love you.

Welcome to married life...hope yours is as blessed and happy as mine is.

am PREpared.. :)

By acdc• 21 Jun 2010 12:12

aw..sweet. it really depends on how you hold the handbag really and if you flip your fingers while holding it then that's another story..but other than that personally..it's kinda sweet to see a man holding a woman's handbag..nyar.

hubby offers to hold my handbag for me..he can't be bothered..

Happens me all the time Smoke. Sometimes her handbag, most times her mobile and the worst is when she picks up clothes and dumps them in my hands and heads off somewhere. I suppose I look damn silly but then these are the labors of marriage. So just grin and bear it.

For more clues look at this:

Tell her to leave the handbag in the car, if possible.

If carry any empty plastic bag into your pocket. If she pulls this on you again, walk out of the store, put the handbag in the plastic bag, n walk in like nothing happened. Or tell the attendant in the ladies changing rooms to inform her that you've gone for a smoke, n take your own sweet time smokin'. She can't go anywhere cos you've got her handbag. : )
