For some reason, men don’t really like Tampa shopping, especially going to malls and stores with their partners. It just takes too long for women to decide on what shoes to buy, according to their accounts. But for women, going to malls is just like a special adventure where they can haggle (if that is allowed), find good discounts, fit clothes and shoes, marvel at handbags, and search for gorgeous accessories.
But once in a while, women do like spending time with their husbands in shopping malls. To do that, you would have to cajole your husbands first and promise them that this only a one-time thing.
Go to his favorite store first
You should “reward” your husband by allowing him to buy whatever it is he wants, no matter if it’s nonsensical to you. If you always frown at the notion of him buying video games, maybe this is the time when you can allow him to do just that. If it’s Lego he wants, then let them be. You always get your way with the “millions” of shoes and bags you have, anyway. Why can’t your husband have one “luxurious” purchase—something he wants and not exactly need.
Leave him where he could enjoy himself
Maybe there’s a lounge there or a mini bar where he could read a newspaper and drink a bottle of beer? You can leave him there and just go back once you have finished your shopping. There’s a good chance he would like this arrangement better because it will allow him to rest from taking care of the children and at the same time, make you think he’s “accompanying” you to the mall. We all need to take a break sometimes. This is a good chance for him to catch up with his social media account or even work while having a bottle of beer or two.
Promise a nice dinner afterwards
After going shopping for a day, you and your husband should go have a nice dinner—something he likes. As a reward, you have to make him pick where to eat. There’s a good chance it’ll be in a steakhouse and that should be okay for you, too, even if you’re on a diet and trying to cut on carbs. This is a thank-you dinner because he managed to spend the day with you in a mall without complaining about how long it’s taking you to buy a pair of shoes. Spend some quality time together where there’s no interruption—no kids, no malls, no errands, etc.
