Where can I buy shoes in bulk?

Is it my duty as a wife to constantly buy my husband clothes?

  • I am not a big shopper. I don't like window shopping and frankly i only buy clothes about 3 times a year. Usually when i do i try to buy a bulk amount for the season. Plus I just do not have time. I always work 2 jobs during the tax season and sometimes will pick up an extra gig during the fall. Currently, I have been working two jobs and taking a tax class since August. The time i do have is spent with him or family. Me and my hubby always get into arguments when he goes to get dressed and have the same choices. I do donate the clothes we stopped wearing every year. And try to replace if i can. In which he says that is the problem even though he doesn't wear the older clothing the next year. (FYI: he wears uniforms to work daily so does not need clothes for work). But he tells me i need to consistently buy him clothes. If I say no problem I will consistently go get you an outfit every month or every two weeks if you give me the money. His response is that he should not have to give me money or say anything I should just do it. But when he gets paid he wants to save all his cash or buy the new video game. When i get paid i'm usually paying off debt, buying stuff needed in house, and saving for the next big thing. Besides every year around his birthday in October I usually buy him a bulk of clothes and we will usually get new outfits for the holidays. When did personal shopper become the wife's duties. Or should I say is this suppose to be my duty as a 30 year old wifey? (Both same age). He knows when he married me (4 months ago) that I am always working, attending school, volunteering, but NOT shopping. I told him to look at my closet and the majority of stuff i buy or receive in terms of clothing or shoes is on birthdays and holidays.

tell princess to buy his own clothes. seriously. he sounds like a spoiled little boy. you work two jobs.

It is not your duty as a wife to buy him clothes. You two need to do some things for each other, but being a personal shopper? Not one of them. He's a man now, and he can buy his own clothes.

Tell your idiot husband to either buy his own clothes or come along with you and pick them out. There is a difference between picking up something you see because you think he'd like it, or if he asks you to get him some socks while shopping, but expecting you to spontaneously keep him looking dapper and up to date? This is stupid. Jeez what are you his mother? Or, buy him some ill-fitting or retarded-looking clothes.

Do you iron his tighty whiteys too? For God's sake, tell your darling little pumpkin he needs to grow up, put on his big boy pants, and go buy his own clothes. You're not his mommy.

Its nice to buy your husband clothes but it isnt a "duty". Hope it helps

Mistress Marla

he's ridiculous and childish...and I would tell him as much. who does he think he is? Its a rare occasion that I buy clothes for my husband...and when I do its because I WANT TO, not because he needs anything. He has no problems with buying his own clothes or anything else he wants for himself, besides that, he likes to make sure the things he wants fit him well so he'd rather do it himself. thats the right way to do that...not your husbands idiotic way, keep standing up for yourself on stupid and childish things like this and hopefully he will get the picture.

Husband and I are both gamers. When he doesn't pick up his slack around the house or his clothes (has more clothes than I do) I tell him to get on it. Im a clean person and he just doesn't care. I'd leave him if it doesn't change. It's BS, I'd leave him. Sounds like a Mama's boy.

If keeping the closet clean is a big deal then have him go through "his" clothes. If I threw away my husbands good clothes there would be a serious problem. If you don't want the "duty" of clothes shopping then leave his clothes alone. He can wear the same clothes or buy and replace his own. Problem solved. My husband and I shop together and he likes to suggest clothes for me. Of course I don't work, am dedicated to the family life first, and he really takes care of me. My "duty" is to my family first. I undertook this responsibility with marriage. Still wouldn't throw out his clothes. I buy him clothes sometimes and sometimes we shop together but I understand your problem and he should understand this also.

He may pay the household bills but he still needs a mama to dress him.Does he tie his own shoes?Maybe you need to take him shopping sometime and show him.The flip side is:you have good taste in clothes.
