Does my bum look fat in this?

How could you possibly forget the worst part of going clothes shopping for any male?
The thought of having to stand there, paralyzed with terror as she ever so innocently asks, "What do you think of this?"

Agreed...
Another terror is the selection-part, where they seemingly invite you to share your opinions on which of the fifty garments she's currently got stuffed into that little changing-room, that she's actually going to buy...
This process is repeated in every shop you go to, until you just break down and say "Dear, there's nothing we can do about your uglyness in the first place... so just TAKE ANYTHING"
Or, you're strong enough to manage it until you get home, at which point you run of to the pub and get irresponsibly drunk...
Agreed...

So very true.
Another variation on shopping hell is when she decides that "I can't stand being seen with you looking like that!" and as a special treat for your birthday, (anniversary, christmas etc.), she'll take you out to spend YOUR money on more "suitable" clothes.
-NO!- I can't even think about that.
I'm going to have to go and lie down in a darkened pub.

Thanks for your advice.
