Or is it your private space?

He can but it scares him so he doesn't. My bag doubles as a changing/outing bag so it tends to have nappies, first aid kit, small clean up kit, assorted shite and it's hard to find anything unless you know where things are.

It's not a matter of having anything to hide- it's just politeness. I can't imagine any circumstances in which I would say no- it's just.... behaving nicely towards each other.

I don't have anything to hide but there are still things I would prefer DH not to do because they feel like an invasion of my privacy.

I don't feel like that about my bag. But I would feel like that if he was snooping through my Internet history.

Even though I never do anything I would mind him seeing. It just feels like that's MY space and he should ask before watching me there.

mine is just nowhere near big enough Grin

Seriously had never thought about it

It was in the first couple of weeks of our relationship and he was 19 < he is also a very shy person, with no female siblings and very conservative mother. He still mixes up eyeliner and eyeshadow.
ffs. Wink

Doesn't bother me at all, but I don't keep too much in it tbh. Its contents are quite boring.

Starting to think that other thread was right about not being able to be light hearted on threads anymore without explaining yourself Hmm

DH would bring my bag to me to look for something, but I think that has more to do with the "man-look" afflication than anything else.

He is very open and wouldn't care if I went into his wallet but I always ask first as it is polite.

justgirl · 19/02/2014 16:12

if he needs something he will, to be honest, any of my friends/family is welcome to go in my handbag if they need anything, defo not private for me.

ReadyToPopAndFresh · 19/02/2014 16:20

There's nothing private in there but it's all kind of a mess organized in a special way, so usually go in there myself if he is braving it for something. In theory I don't care though iyswim
