After many years of two busy careers often making us far apart in geography, we really enjoy doing a lot of mundane things together we didn't used to. We both have always been careful with our money, just a trait taught us by our depression era families, but do like to find just the " right " thing when we are looking for a piece of furniture.
I do want to defend my dear husband as not at all "whipped" but rather just a nice fella who seems to enjoy hanging around with me. He makes almost anything we do together so enjoyable. And I am not kidding about this. I am so lucky after 53 years to say that. Many folks don't enjoy shopping together at all, and for me that would NOT be a deal breaker.
I know that a lot of guys hate to accompany their wives shopping and I don't blame them. I wouldn't either. I hate to see money wasted and I can't get excited spending hours finding the exact color of earrings to match my shirt.
If we were all the same they would just sell vanilla ice cream.
I didn't mean to swat you Eagle. I sounded harsh now that I reread what I said. You weren't catty footing, I was trying to explain what word came before whipped, umm politely. Although Miss Galore in the James Bond wasn't Catty Galore. I worked in a man's world for a long time so I have heard all of those terms. I like men just the same as women. Good folks.
