My poor DH

in March 2014 Moms

I've only gained 5 or 6 pounds, but nothing is comfortable and I'm in that phase where I hate all of my clothes.  DH went shopping with me last night looking for maxi dresses and comfy things. I was standing in Old Navy looking through some skirts while DH looked around, and in a few minutes he comes up to me with a dress that he thinks would be perfect for me to wear to work. A dress that is a size 3X.  I'm a size 4.  Poor guy, he has no concept of women's sizing, and  I think he genuinely had no idea why I was crying :)  I do really appreciate that he *tried* to help, but from now on he understands that he is a silent shopping partner!

    Oh goodness... I'm way bigger than a size 4 and you could fit two of me in a 3x at Old Navy. He must have just grabbed the first one without thinking.

    That's a good point!

     

    Edit: honestly I was feeling frumpy and grumpy anyway - so any size, color, or cut of garment that he brought me might have resulted in tears just the same!

    At least he tried! My DH says he will wait in the car while I shop thus rushing me......
    DH would do the same... or stand there impatiently while he comments on anything I pick out saying "Don't you have something just like that already?" even when I don't. Needless to say I do most of my shopping without him there.

    He sounds sweet for trying :) Men are clueless when it comes to sizes...I have to do most of my DH's shopping for him.

    My husband hates shopping. I can barely get him to the grocery store - unless it is just him and he takes his motorcycle. Then he's very happy to go!
