To give DP a handbag

Does anyone else have a partner who tries to put all their crap in your handbag when you’re going out?

We’re off to a party tonight and I am using a very naice little designer bag, DP is annoyed as he always tries to ram all his things into my handbag when we go out... keys, phone, chewing gum etc.
Bag nicely fits my phone, a house key, some money and a few bits of my makeup like powder and a lipstick but nothing more.
I’ve told him to carry his stuff himself but he thinks I should use a different bag to accommodate his stuff Shock

No. This bag matches my outfit perfectly, I’m not a cart horse and he can get to fuck in my opinion.
What does he do when he goes out without me?
WIBU to give him another handbag and tell him to carry it himself? Grin

If he has pockets tell him to put his phone and chewing gum in them...as you have the door key and to give you them money

Problem solved !

Yep, get him a neon lipstick pink bum bag.

I was thinking a pretty red floral clutch bag... would match the irrational rage in his eyes Grin

The dickhead is actually going through my handbags trying to prove I have bigger bags that would match my outfit.
No. I am not using my work handbag for a night out. I don’t care how practical it is 🤦🏼‍♀️

My OH will hand me his passport, ticket and car keys the second we walk into the airport. It pisses me off that I can be really organised yet still end up juggling umpteen bits of shite before heading for security.

Have you got a small suitcase that matches his outfit??

LeighaJ · 16/06/2018 18:51

Did you tell him where he can shove all his stuff? Grin

GeorgeTheHippo · 16/06/2018 18:53

Tell him to get to fuck

Iloveacurry · 16/06/2018 18:55

Mine has done this too! Very annoying.

Flowerpotbicycle · 16/06/2018 18:55

He has been told to get to fuck several times. I’m tempted to shove some money down my bra, hide the house key under the flowerpot in the front garden and fuck my bag off completely just to prove a point

I keep calling him princess now because he’s acting like a diva 🤣
He’s not a happy chicken

I don't mind carrying keys, money and phones for DH in my bag on a night out but he makes it even when he carries my huge fur coat and sparkly clutch bag while helping me hobble into a taxi Grin

However if your bag only has room for your things then he can make use of the massive pot holes of pockets men get in their clothing! And yes I agree OP, he is a proper whiney little princess Grin

whatwouldkeithRichardsdo2 · 16/06/2018 19:21

Tell him to fuck off. Job done. You're in a relationship together, you're not his carer.

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 16/06/2018 19:27

My ex used to piss me right the fuck off doing this.

MrsLaurac · 16/06/2018 19:30

Oh mine does this. Take the practical one for all my stuff not the one you selected to go with your outfit

Branleuse · 16/06/2018 19:32

cant he get himself a little backpack ?

I dont know why so few men carry a bag. I wouldnt be without mine. Moving stuff from pocket to pocket must be such a faff

MellyPapa · 16/06/2018 19:35

Oh dear...haha I like to go out without a bag at all during the day etc. Stupid girl trousers etc have rubbish or no pockets at all so DP gets my phone and cash as he has lovely big proper sized pockets Grin

SkaPunkPrincess · 16/06/2018 19:36

Opposite problem in this house! I never want to take a bag with me (I find them really irritating and easy to lose on a night out) so I'm the one filling up DH pockets! 😂

MellyPapa · 16/06/2018 19:37

hi-five Ska!

SkaPunkPrincess · 16/06/2018 19:39

SkaPunkPrincess · 16/06/2018 19:39

argh! melly even

I don't carry a handbag and my husband HATES it. He carries a little man bag!!
