My DH and I never shop for anything together including vehicles. I can't imagine him in a fabric store and I've only seen him in a grocery store a couple of times and we were picking up groceries for his mom. My guy just doesn't shop unless forced or I just can't pick it out such as a suit for his sister's wedding.

My DH is great about going into LQS. When we go up to Illinois we drive right by Hancocks of Padicah. He always wants to stop in to look around. I asked him why once and he said because he knows it makes me happy. He doesn't care how much I spend. But I try to keep it very reasonable. He said he knows I will make something pretty for someone. I love that guy.

My husband will certainly stop if we are out of town and see a quilt shop. I try to be quick so he doesn't get tired of it. He waits in the car or walks off to find something interesting. I think most of the husbands are not intolerant but we all have busy schedules and we all get bored in a store that we are not interestd in. Most spouses will be patient if the other spouse doesn't abuse the situation.

No, he only goes with me if I have to just pick up something quick and we're out for another reason, or we're picking out fabric for something in the house. He would be bored and I'd rather spend our time together doing something we both enjoy. Likewise he doesn't take me with him tool or carpenter supplies shopping. I'm fortunate to be married to a supreme carpenter who can build a house from drawing the plans to pouring the driveway. He was a building trades teacher before he became an administrator. He is the best of husbands for many, many reasons. I am very blessed!

I need time to think how and which person I would use it for .
So for my pocketbook sakes I try not to take him.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh about my sweetie shopping with me.........well he takes me, waits in the car and people watches while I am in the store. When I come out he will say did you manage to buy them out yet? LOL Or when we go somewhere he will say "Is there somewhere else you want to go to" .......knowing full well its a fabric store or quilt shop! LOL When I say where he replies "Oh didn't you hear they closed"! LOL Sometimes he says ................"They are hiring!" What a corker but I WUV him! I don't tell him my next project idea anymore because he is a stickler for getting me to get something done he doesn't realize I'm a multi tasker and there is a method to my madness! LOL I always have 3-5 projects at once going! LOL
