I have lol'd at many of these DH stories.."shaking in a corner".. "faking a heart attack" rofl
I don't think I would ask mine to go..Cause I"m sure he'd not know what a notion was..Sigh when I asked him what he thought of this fabric with that one- after the 4th time..And mid-way through he'd whisper> " Now, Your going to the gun shop/sporting goods/electronics with me after this, right?" ( Horrified look) lol..
However, I so should have taken him sewing machine shopping with me last week.. I would have definitely gotten a better machine after the sales lady was done with him lol
If you seriously don't care for him going or would like some more alone time...Help him find his own hobby.. X-box, golf, guitar lessons, whatever.. I looove my hubbys x-box and I don't even play it lol
