shopping with other people
in Wedding Woes
yes or no?
no. i want to shop on my own schedule, and sometimes that means spending an hour at a store and buying nothing, or walking into another store and snapping everything off the shelves.
dh and i went shopping this weekend, and i felt like i had to keep asking him if he wanted me to hurry up. he said he was fine, just tired.
when one person is done and i still have things i want to see, i feel like i still need to wrap it up quickly out of consideration for the other person.

Re: shopping with other people
I shop with friends when we are just hanging out.
Although DH is pretty good at the mall. He brings a magazine, or he has his phone, and he'll find a chair and hang out. He's good for a couple of hours, but I try not to push it much past an hour and a half. He doesn't actually go into many stores.
Anyone else? Not so much, usually.
I do wish I had a good local shopping friend to give me honest feedback on whether something fits or doesn't or is/isn't flattering.
More and more, though, I just shop at TJ Maxx and buy 20 things, try them on at home, and return what I don't like or doesn't fit. Not so fun.
DH does come along with me a lot of the time and he's really good about not complaining, even though I know he hates shopping, especially if it's for no reason.
