not to buy my dh clothes.

[goodbyemrschips]

I work in clothes retail and the amount of women that buy clothes for their other halfs and say ''can i bring it back if they don't like it?'' amazes me. Is it a power thing?

Why do women buy their mens clothes? I have been with my dh for 24 years and never bought him so much as a sock, he is a grown man for gods sake not 4.

Please tell me I am not on my own here.

Arguing over pointless crap is what MN us for.

If I see something I think my DP will like and I have the money I'll buy him it. [shrug]

What I don't understand/like is ladies buying stuff for themselves in the shop I work in and asking me what the returns policy is incase my husband doesn't like it". and Never in a million years would I allow my DP to dictate what I should wear. Not that he would dare to anyway...

DH enjoys regular sex, so when I say 'how does this look?', he knows the only acceptable response us 'Great!'

We have been married a looooong time...

Same here Sarsaparilla

Agreed. DP would definately be on the business end of a hissy fit if he said he didn't like something I was wearing!

DH always says I look great, but sometimes (after seeing the photos) I wish he had the balls to be honest.
He would get into trouble though, so I guess I can only blame myself.

Why do women buy their dh's clothes? Does this mean that we have to know menswear and what is on trend?

Why do people bump 4 year old zombie threads is a better question.

Since when is buying your OH a pressie a 'power thing'? I love surprising my DH and love it when he surprises me! Stop being such a meanie OP!

I don't buy mine clothes he'd hate whatever I got him. I'd hate it if he bought me clothes (or jewellery, or perfume). I think we'd feel like we were trying to dress each other. Each to their own though. For some it's a sign of attention and special consideration, which is nice.

Is a journalist/researcher bumping the thread.

They're so lazy it makes me laugh!!

My husband loves shopping. I would buy the odd thing for him but he is very particular and spends way more than I would for things. I'd buy him something that I thought was nice and he'd like and he'd see the Marks or Next label and take it back. So no I don't generally do his clothes shopping though my sisiter does for her husband.

Yes Cad20 bumped another thread on this subject and then started their own. Have reported.

I dont he likes to try stuff on he is a fussy git maybe a shirt at christmas is all i do buy him pants and socks if he asks me there was a brilliant thread a year ago about buying men socks it was hilarious aparently its infantising (not convinced that is even a word) our partners it got really silly

Oh fgs its a zombie tgread bet t it has the sock thing in it where do they even find them to ressurect

DH loves shopping and I hate it. He buys all the dcs clothes and occasionally gets me something. He would probably love it if I didn't like it so he could take it back and thus be in the shops again.

I'm not 4.

Meh can't begin to care. If I see tops I know he would like (especially on sale) and he isn't with me I'll grab a few. If he sees tops I'm after or I'm muttering and not getting around to getting the printed tees I'm after he'll buy or order them.

Who gives a fuck about this shit?

Man, zombie bollocks. Stobbit!
