Guess again. I am 40 and have been married for 10 years, so by no means am I some young girl who needs their partners opinion. Nor do I need my DH's approval or lack self confidence.

Just because someone doesn't do things your way doesn't mean they are some insecure, immature girl looking desperately for someones approval.
I have the ability to clothes shop on my own and, as amazing as it sounds, I am actually able to make a decision on my own and purchase clothes that are a heck of a lot more attractive then a burlap sack.
However, when we shop together, I VALUE my DH's opinion. He has great fashion sense, where I am more of a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. He does not decide what I will or will not buy, he does not decide how much money I can spend, he does not have the final say in anything when it comes to my wardrobe, but I do VALUE his opinion.
Now, maybe some of the ladies here don't care, maybe their DH's don't have fashion sense (and if they think a burlap sack is sexy, I would be worried

), maybe they hate to shop and the thought of getting their DH's to go shopping with them is like trying to get them to go in for a physical, but, believe it or not, some DH's do actually enjoy (okay, maybe tolerate is a better word. ) it.
Just because a woman doesn't do things the way you do doesn't mean they are young and insecure.
OMG, you brought back some memories. I haven't changed in a car in years
but I do remember many a time giving a trucker more of a view then he should have had.
