PH Men - Advice Needed Re Shopping With the Wife/GF
Discussion
To all PH men out there, I need your honest advice.
On Tuesday the gf and I were having a look around the town centre of Oxford (rather nice) and she says "I have to check out Gap, they've got a sale on and I havent been for ages".
Ok I thought, I can handle 30 mins browsing.....after 30 mins she hadnt even finished collecting stuff to "try on", so I gave it another ten minutes and realised I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
"I'm going to pop over the road for a coffee, come and get me when you're done."
"No problems" she replies.
I retire to the coffee shop, have a love cup, a couple of cane ginger biscuits (ridiculously overpriced) and read the paper. 20 minutes passes.....no sign.
I go back in and notice that the customers are all exclusively mid 30's women who all have the look of hunting predators as they peruse the goods...anyway...no sign of my lass. I guess she must be in the changing rooms.
I wait 20 mins until eventually she comes out and gives me a "Whats the problem look".
We then leave.
Does this change? Whats the best way to combat these situations? We're about to move in together...help....

Don't go with her?
This is the correct answer, but I really like the next idea …Targarama said:
Get revenge next time you're passing a favourite car/bike dealer. Go in, try all the models on, spend a bit too long for her liking.
St Files: No, it doesn’t get any better. However, you’ll get better at avoiding it. You’re on the right path with that coffeeshop plan. Now you know that you can safely sneak in a swift pint and then go for the coffee (to disguise the smell of pub) and still make it back to the shop before your lady has left the clothes shop.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
