To give DP a handbag

[Flowerpotbicycle]

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

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?

Do you not have a little gold number he could carry?

Or a suitcase on wheels...?

hahahahaha - most of the time i give all my crap to my husband. I try not to carry a bag because i was mugged years ago and im still getting over my carrying a handbag phase. He's understands but i do get the whole 'why cant you use trousers with pocket, i dont want to have 2 lipsticks, one power, one phone, one eyeliner in my pockets' speech.

Apparently these are all the rage now! My 17yr old nephew wears one! Present problem solved!

Btw, what does "Get to fuck" mean? I hear Scottish people saying it all the time and I genuinely have no clue what it means?? "Get off me??"

get to fuck means fuck off

I would imagine it's a variation of fuck off?

My husband carries a handbag he nicked off me!

Ok, it’s a military-style satchel, but still...

Yanbu. Tell him to fuck off trying to load you up like a pit pony.

Charge him a tenner for every item you carry (house key are counted as separate items btw ).

YANBU. He can take your work handbag if he has so much junk he has to take.

I stopped carrying a handbag because DP used to ask me to carry his stuff and I had SPD at the time .

I also make him take part of the stuff for DS when we go out together as he seems to think it's just my responsibility. It's not.

You're sooo NBU.

I don’t mind taking the odd thing for my husband on the understanding that he puts my lipstick in his pocket when I don’t take a bag. He draws the line at lip gloss though.

My DP usually has his BAckpack to carry his things in, in the country were living in it seems to have come into fashion with many men having man bags. I love them I want to shout from my balcony that they are the future! Carry your own shite men.

My dp has a really nice Harris Tweed satchel/ shoulder bag thing similar to this one. He takes it everywhere and refers to it as his handbag. Your dp should get one and fuck off trying to use you like a pack mule

Other way round here. In fact I was inky telling my husband he other day that I married him so he could put my stuff in his pockets

Is this a 'thing'?
I've honestly never heard of grown men needing things carried for them...
Surely they either shove them in pockets or use a bag themselves, don't they?
Anyway I wouldn't have room for anyone else's shit with the amount I carry around.

We're the opposite. If we're out together I put my phone in his pocket. He takes his keys and wallet in his other pockets. Everything comes out of joint account so I don't need my purse.

I thought one of the irritating stereotypes of men's and women's clothing was that they always get big, practical pockets.

RandomWordsandaNumber5 Why the arbitrary difference between lipstick and lipgloss ? How does he feel about Chapstick? Or eyeliner.

I never carry a handbag, except on very rare formal occasions when a phone in my bra might look odd.

DH has had VERY short shrift for trying to put his crap in it.

I dispensed with it on our last night out and just wore a wrap so you couldn’t see the phone in my bra. Since I have applepay on the phone I don’t need a purse. And the lipgloss can go in the other boob pocket.

Dp has a small backpack for his stuff on a normal outing but if we go out for say a meal or something he usually asks me if I can put his glasses in my bag but he carries everything else himself.
I don't mind as if I say no he isn't arsey about it.

Urghhh it’s one of my most hated phrases from DH when we are about to head out the door for an evening out... ‘do you have room in your bag for...’
Day time is fine as he lives in cargo shorts with big pockets (or if it’s a week day, has a laptop bag) but in the evening when he’s got jeans/more fitted trousers on, it’s a different story.

Surely there is no sense in one person carrying 2 sets of housekeys, 2 wallets aka all the money...ok you could offer to carry a stick of chewing gum.

I have a Mulberry Bayswater full of crap and sticky stuff. I'm not allowed to put any of his stuff in my bag ever! He moans if I borrow his credit card and he has to retrieve it

Well I snapped and farted at him.
Made him carry his own stuff but then he lost his keys which is now all my fault of course
Welllll he’ll enjoy commuting on the train for a couple of days until his main office have posted out the spare set! I hope he enjoys body odour and being felt up at 8am like I had to endure hahahaha
