I have to say that my husband is very careless most of the time. He often loses something such as the wallet and cellphone. So I won't let him to hold my handbag, as I am afraid he will lose it anywhere. This is why I often remind him whether he brings the wallet, cellphone and keys.

Good evening, youless. Well, you know, when one is careful, the other will usually be less careful. Could this be, please? It seems that it is somewhat true and we cannot deny it. Yes? Anyway, from another angle, it shows that my dear youless is a careful and considerate lady to Mr. Youless. Good for him. Keep it up, and good night.

I am a very accomplished handbag holder myself so you would have no issues with me! It's funny actually because I know many guys that flat out refuse to hold their wife or girlfriends handbag because they are concerned how they may look! I couldn't care less as it is pretty clear that it is not mine and I am just holding it! lol. I have never understood why some guys get so funny about it at all?

I don;t know about other men. But I do carry my wife's handbag everynow and then during shopping. This is so that she has both her hands free to choose and browse for the stuff she wants. It could be for the home, it could be clothes for herself. It doesn't matter.
And she sometimes does the same for me when I need both my hands to select stuff from the shopping shelfs. She will carry all the bags and stuff for me to allow me to free my hands.
As long as we cultivate the habit to be careful, it doesn't really matter who carries the handbag. No?

You know that is the mistakes I make having my boyfriend hold my handbag. It is a mistakes because he tends to love go in there and takes whatever he feels which does not belong to him.

I am so pitful that my boy friend never hold my handbags for me, but only for them, other heavy bags or things he never let me do it, I do not know why. You see, nearly most of the boy friends hold handbags for their girl friends, why does he not do like this? Aha, maybe I need to ask for him directly.

Hi youless, just similar to your husband, I’m very careless as well. When go outing together with my hubby, he usually won’t let me to carry my own purse as well as the keys of the car. He scares that my purse might be snatched, for this had happened to me once many years back while buying thing at the street stall. He keeps the car keys as he knows very well that I’m the type of forgetful person.
I had left the vehicle keys on the table of restaurant and outlets several times before Frankly speaking, I do enjoy very much to have someone to carry the so-called Burden for me
My hubby always advises me again and again to take great care of the passport, the purse and the cellphone too, when he is not accompanying me, especially before departure for foreign tour with friends. He looks more like a nagging father than a hubban in this respect, right?
Happy posting and take care.

I wouldn't get my guy to hold my purse. I wear my purse over me so my hands are free so no one needs to hold my purse.

In this aspect... i can say that i am more careless than my husband... although i have never lost a wall or cell phone before... but i will certainly let my husband hold my handbag when i need the help... because i know for sure that he will take good care of it... and never leave it out of his sight and hands...

whenever we go out, or my boyfriend pick me up here in the office, he'll automatically hold my handbag. and I find it sweet!.. he always hold it carefully, so that nothing would lost inside my bag, and no one will steal it from him.

My husband and I are very careful with eachother's things, We are not one to lose something that belongs to the other, because we are not so selfish as to be careless with the other person's trust. If someone entrusts something to our care, we are aware of the responsibility that is involved. Yes, I trust my husband with my handbag.

i would have let my husband carry my handbag for me if only he would offer to do so.it would have made me happy.sad to say,he never offered to carry my handbag.
this reminded me of my first boyfriend who is always ready to bring my handbag or whatever it is i'm carrying,without being asked to.he would always,without falter,be ready to be there for me and do everything he could to please me.(sigh!)

I think that boyfriend/husband should always help the wife/girlfriends and should let them hold. This is because that is the responsible for boyfriend/husband. So that wife/girlfriends will feel more secure with it. So i suggest u that you should always remind him and ask him to change about it. But not let hold your handbag.
