Maybe it was his handbag?

My DH will hold my bag for a few minutes, if necessary. He holds it in the dead rat way that clearly indicates it is not his.

Im going to go out on a limb here and this may surely offend, but I feel offensive today.

Maybe he is carrying the bag to hold his um "boys."

Mine will hold it for me if I am going into someplace like a gross bathroom where I know there will be no hooks on the door, and I am afraid it will hit the floor. Occasionally, there are other situations where he will do it, but generally my bag is not that heavy that I can't handle carrying it myself.

ditto- he will hold it- but he will make a joke of it at the same time

The man bag or man purse is not cute in anyway ! My DH has offered to carry my bag but that is a no-no. I don't want the boys to hit on him.

Rob does this for me. He also carries my coat. I think it is very courtly of him.

That said, he doesn't throw it over his shoulders and prance around like he owns it... Chat Icon

ETA: He carries it for me when I need to have my hands free to look at something - or if I need to pick up one of our kids. Sometimes if it heavy and hurting my shoulder (I have a neck injury that will sometimes cause me extreme pain in my shoulders and arms). Or if I am feeling particuarly fabulous and want to make an entrance showing ME rather than my bag and coat.

Let me clarify...I meant where a man is holding her bag and she is holding nothing.

For instance:
I was walking to work this morning and in front of me was a man holding his SO's Fendi bag...she had NOTHING in her hands...no bags,clothing, etc...

Is it a cultural thing that I'm missing out on?



some girls just got it like that.

he prob wipes her too



Chat Icon

I don't got it like that.
I don't think that I'd want to.

No, but it could be an injury or disability that you can't see.

I can't carry anything on my right shoulder. Last night, I had more stuff than I expected to have in my VB tote bag and DH and I had to walk several blocks out of our way for something. My "good" shoulder hurt from the heavy bag, so DH offered to carry it for me.

My DH rocks. Chat Icon

I say more power to a woman who can get her man to do this. If I ever need JT to hold my bag for a second, he rolls his eyes and holds it away from his body on one finger. However, it is a rare occasion that I would emasculate him that wayChat Icon



Ditto! Personally, I wouldn't want my DH to walk around carrying my bag. Not a cool look for me or him Chat Icon

Re: A man carrying his "woman's" handbag...

He has held it for me, not does not walk around with it. I will ask him to hold it for a "second" while I look at something - he usually counts to one then puts it on the floor. Chat Icon I just give him a look and he will pick it up and hold it until I'm done.

It's never more than a minute or two.

My dh never has a problem holding it for a minute.

My grandfather was holding my grandmother's one time when we were on vacation and I looked at him weird and he was like-who cares! He was older though and as you get older, you don't care who sees you!!

DH has to carry mine for like a second if I am putting on my coat or something. Carrying for extended lengths of time does not happen

I personally don't see anything wrong with it, especially if he's trying to help her out. So long as he doesn't throw it over his shoulder.

Re: A man carrying his "woman's" handbag...

Re: A man carrying his "woman's" handbag...

i dont think he has ever held it for me.

i see no need anyway - if i can figure out how to hold my bag while using a public toilet - i pretty much can figure out how to hold my bag in any situation.
