Classic DH

lyndausvi

I just went into the bedroom to get something.  He is laying on the bed with the ipad.   

He says "It's Cyber Monday, you can't look at what I'm doing."

Me - "okay.    By-the-way have you seen the scotch tape?"

Him - "okay, I'm getting what I always get you.  But not bras, because you have enough of those."

Me - "ummm, okay?  But I asked if you have seen the scotch tape?"

For the record, he gets me VS underwear every year and no he didn't know where the scotch tape was.  Although he was interested on what I was wrapping (just some stocking stuffers).

My aunt's last day is today.  She leaves tomorrow.  It's been a long 10 days.   We are off to Vail after lunch.   I will return to my duties tomorrow.  Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.

That's really cute! I'm also impressed your DH knows your bra size! BF is completely clueless about bra sizing.

it's called going through my bra drawer and looking at the tags.

Man I would not trust FI to buy me clothes. I buy him clothes, though.

Even then, all bras fit differently and what if you don't like how it fits?

He pretty much takes the same style and size of one in my drawer and buys one in a different color.   LOL.

He is pretty good a buying clothes.  He sticks to underwear, sweaters and NFL gear.  He has bought me a coat once.  I love it and wear it all the time.  I'm hoping for a ski jacket this year.

My SO doesn't understand the concept that unless you get an identical item, nothing fits the exact same. We went to buy pants one time. We were in a bit of a rush. I wanted to try them on first. He insists we don't have time. So he grabs a pair of the rack and says "These are size zero, perfect!" And drags me out of the store while I'm trying to explain that he got the skinny pants style and those cut off my circulation. We get home and I try them on to show him. I can barely get them on. He gets totally confused because "those are size zeros so they should fit like any other size zeros". No honey, for one thing, I prefer size ones for the extra room; for another there are half a million different styles that fit different. To top it off, he lost the receipt so the store wouldn't let me return them.

Oh lord, I am always so confused when SO grabs whatever clothes he wants from a store and declares he is done shopping. Like, we have been here for three minutes, you already looked at everything and know that those things will fit you?  Luckily, though, his clothes always do seem to fit.  
Regarding bras. though, unless I know that a certain style (ie. unlined balconette, sp?) from a certain brand, I would prefer my SO doesn't buy me bras.  Of course, this is only after being properly sized and having my eyes opened to big boob bras.

DH would never attempt to buy me any type of clothes.  I'm pretty picky with clothing.  I also am very hesitant to buy him any clothing, because he's picky too.  And he TOTALLY gets the idea that different brands/styles fit differently.  He has one brand/style of jeans that he likes.  A few years ago they stopped making them and it took multiple shopping trips and hours in dressing rooms to find another style that he could live with. And he's picky on shirts too.  So, for me to buy clothing for him is limited to the one brand/style of jeans he likes, the one brand/style of shorts he likes, and a limited selection of acceptable t-shirts.

But, on the bright side, if he's shopping with me, he doesn't get impatient about waiting while I try on clothes because he understands why it's needed. Actually, he's more patient with it than I am.

Yeah, but if H did that for me he'd just confuse himself because there are about 5 different sizes in there.

   I'm good at purging.  Every quarter I go through and get rid of things that are old or do not fit.

All of mine still fit. I just wear drastically different sizes based on the brand. Also, since my bras are approx $100 a pop I keep them until they are destroyed. (stupid huge boobs = no cute or cheap bras for me)

FI is capable of buying me bras, but that's because I pretty much only wear one brand and style because I'm a complete freak size and once I've found a bra that I don't hate, I just buy four and hope they don't stretch out too much. But they're like $100 each so I appreciate them as a gift for sure.

You lucky girls that get pretty stuff. You're lucky, is all I'm saying. My bras are monstrous.

That is so cute!  I do not trust DH to buy me clothing so I take the cheaters way out - when he asks me what I would like I go to the store pick out/try on what I want and then just hand him the shopping bag when I get home...

Last Christmas FI got me a ton of Jack Daniel's clothing because that's my drink of choice.

Sweet for thinking of that honey, but now I look like a drunk with an over-sized sweatshirt.

Honestly, DH has never noticed anything there except what's underneath. And when he does compliment me or get excited about a piece of lingerie, it's usually something I got for $3 on clearance at Target or Old Navy. Works for me!
