After you get married and find yourself standing in a department store in the women’s section holding your wife’s purse you pretty much know what you’re in for.
I have found that in life you get what you accept. The men I know have no problem with women. We love them and respect them....but we do not take any sh1t from them. Pretty simple.
If you act up in that scenario (especially since they’ve removed the “chump chairs” for the men) then your wife eventually stops insisting you come.
It has been years since I’ve been in that situtation; it seemed to taper off when the kids came along because my disciplining of them in stores drove my wife nuts.
I wouldn't know. Never had a moment even close to that in my marriage. My bride would never do that. I'm sorry you had to go thru that, and for what it portends....cuz as you say...."pretty much what you're in for..." I'd get out if I were you...
I married over 50 years ago and never went shopping with my husband. Not once.
Who does that?

I've never expected that of my husband. He would enjoy it about as much as I'd enjoy following him around looking at electronics or car parts, so I don't see the point.
