Am I the only one who has a PLH?

carvedwords · Jun 30th, 2008, 04:00 AM

Well, I don't have a husband, but my boyfriend (one day to be my hubby) HATES my purse addiction. He sees no point in more than one $20 purse from Target, yet he can have all the new electronics. Go figure. I hope one day he will change, because I won't

My DH likes to shop for accessories (he has a shoe obsession) and encourages me to go into my favorite bag boutiques when we are together. He has yet to get a man bag, but he has started trying on the briefcases or messengers while I am scoping out treasurers! He has yet to push me to buy a bag ... maybe one day ...

Not my husband but my SO encourages me waaaaaaay too much. When we're shopping we always look at purses and he' become very good at finding the ones I would like the most. And he always encourages me to buy them! "If they make you happy, why not?"

If I decide not to buy the purse he'll go back later and buy it for me.

So your husband doesnt agree with your purse buying, so you went out and got yourself a purse loving boyfriend?

Someone's gotta finance my purse obsession.

My other half is definitely a PLH, sometimes I think he loves them more than I do. I think he only buys me bags to divert attention from all the shopping he does himself though, I should take a sneaky pic of his shoe collection, he has more shoes than any man really should have...

sarahloveslouis · Jun 30th, 2008, 03:14 PM

Zachary is so hilarious. Even when he's out with the boys at a sporting event (he LOVES football), he and one of his guy friends will pay attention to other women's bags. He has even been known to snap a picture of a couple and text me, asking "Is this fake? She looks so trashy!"

He totally understands my hobby, and trust me, he has his own (he owns at LEAST 6 sets of really expensive golf clubs). The only rule he's made is that he won't buy me a bag as a gift. He doesn't like the thought of me one day selling it on eBay. Even when I assure him I wouldn't sell his gift, he still refuses. Ohhhhhh well.

My SO is the same way! He has more pairs of Jordans than I care to count. BUT, at last count he was at 73 pairs!! That was 3 years ago

Not to mention, 3 years ago, when we were...umm BROKE!

AudreyII · Jun 30th, 2008, 03:49 PM

^^Jordans? as in Nike trainers, bloody hell, that's a lot of trainers!
I don't think my BF has more shoes than me, but then I have shoes that cost 10 quid from Primark, i'm going to have to count them...

Ive never heard(well, read lol) anyone say it like that! But, yes, the Nike Jordans. It seems like every week he says "Im going to Foot Locker so they can hold the Jordan's that come out this Saturday" Its sad when a store that doesnt hold shoes for people, will hold shoes for HIM!

AudreyII · Jun 30th, 2008, 04:55 PM

trainers/sneakers, I did think it might be a shoe brand I hadn't heard of, Ican't believe there are 73 variations of them, let alone 1 man having 73 pairs of them

I can remember my first (and only now I think about it) pair of Air Jordans, they had a pump action, man I thought I was so trendy with my Jordans and my Le Coq shellsuit...

VPT · Jun 30th, 2008, 06:52 PM

My last boyfriend has more bags and shoes than me. He's an avid mountaineer & x-country skier. I remember back in the day we used to scale mountains, all I had was a comfy backpack and a Camelbak with 1 pair of hiking boots while he had 2 backpacks and 4 pairs of shoes for different terrains!!

yvalenz · Jun 30th, 2008, 08:59 PM

I won't even talk about how many pairs of Van's that man has. Seriously - he only has two feet!!

That is too cute!!

I wish my b/f liked purses. He doesn't get it, he can't understand why I spend as much money as I do, but, he doesn't hate it. He's aware of different brands, and he points them out to me when we are out shopping. He knows my HG bag, and he knows the brands that I already own. He'll go to the mall to look at them with me, but, would rather just sit in a chair until I'm done instead of actively participating in the purchasing process. But, he has a bit of a motorcycle obsession, and I get dragged to look at bikes a lot, so, it evens itself out.
