This is because my fiance always seem to look really bored and frustrated everytime i walk into a shop of apparels, shoes, accessories. He doesnt complain verbally but never do look please. So I always end up not buying anything, and leaving the shop as soon as I can. Should I never go shopping with my fiance? Or should I demand him to accompany me even though he is bored? what is the ideal solution? sigh

My husband does not like going shopping with me because I get distracted. When I am in certain moods I love to look at everything in the store. I have found the best cure for this is when we just need a few things I send him to the store. When it is big shopping day I go by myself then I can take as long as I want and can look at all I want. Just make sure not to go hungry. lol. As far as clothes go if you are shopping for him then he should go if you are shopping for you you should go by yourself. You know what you like. Most men are going to say sure it looks great just to get you to hurry, or like my husband his taste in clothes is way differant than mine so He doesn't alsways like what I get anyways so why put him through the torture of shopping. Also another compromise is to go to a store of his choice once in awhile and see what he goes through. I also tried this with my husband and found out that a hunting store is really boring. So to sum this up I found that I was not willing to shop with him at his stores so I try not to make him shop at mine. It eliminates the stress.

Thanks. I agree. It puts on the stress on me and I do not enjoy myself at all with him feeling so uneasy. It is probably a lose-lose situation and maybe end up with a impulse and regretful buy! That is worse, isnt it!

No, he doesn't really, and why should he? I mean, I pay for my own stuff so he really has no reason to! Sometimes he will say that he doesn't get another pair of black pants or whatever, because I have something similar already, but he is a boy, they just can't see the difference, I think! ;)

My girlfriend says she hates shopping and sometimes I know she gets annoyed when I'm in the store looking at stuff. I feel like she doesn't mind shopping to a certain extent but she gets really annoyed when I'm looking for some items. I'm not sure why, I try my best to make it a fast trip or something but sometimes it doesn't seem to work.

NOt every guys like or enjoy shopping.. Most of them often see it as a chore and they just dun understand why, ladies must take so long to shop, comparing prices here and there and end up not buying.. lol =D That's what makes most man frustrated because it's like a waste of time.. And we tend to forget that, shopping ia actually a sort of bonding time too, and it allows both parties to share ideas and opinions ^_^ HOwever, guys usually tend to overlook that.. hehe ^_^ Well, for your fiance, he's not bad already, for he did not express his unhappiness straight at your face, and he's trying his best not to disappoint u too ^_^

I think the best way to handle this is just ask him if he would like to go with you. My man will go shopping with me cause he knows it makes me happy, but if I think he really is not feeling it, then I let him off the hook and tell him he can stay home and we can go out later.
