I'd be really uncomfortable having honey-bunny hanging around when I bought clothes. I send him elsewhere, so I can shop in privacy. Strangely though, I enjoy helping him pick out his own clothes. I think I don't like having him around is that he gets very critical, telling me all my choices are "dated,' "tacky," or his new fave expression "dubby."
Oh, and I would never have a man hold my purse! Guys, when your woman does that, she's just trying to see if she can make you do it- it's a way of showing who's boss, and of marking territory. Don't give in.
