Women: do you mind your husband/boyfriend getting into your purse?

Similar questions: Women mind husband boyfriend purse.

My purse --- My business Only once in my life did I ever have this problem come up. I must have been around 18 years old, and had just met and started dating this "boy" named Jeff. (Jeff was 19.) I have never had anything to hide and today would think nothing of my husband looking into my purse if he wanted to, (he never does), but as an 18 year old girl I don’t think I was ever more surprised, offended and turned off as I was when Jeff grabbed my purse from me (shortly after we’d started going together), and started riffling through its contents.

I considered that a huge invasion of privacy and couldn’t for the life of me understand why ANYONE would do such a rude thing. I’m pretty sure I speak for most women when I say such a rude act is a huge turn off. What’s in a woman’s purse is her own business, where she may be keeping something personal away from prying eyes.

It could be a personal letter, some private papers or bills she’d rather not broadcast, or some feminine hygiene product she’d rather not have displayed to the world. Jeff had not only looked through my purse, he laid everything out on the table for the world to check out. Ugh!

It’s not that women have anything to hide that they prefer not to have a man look through their purse, it’s a simple case of women expecting some respect for their privacy. When Jeff picked up my purse and started looking through it I was highly offended. Worse yet when he started holding items up, exclaiming over each object in a loud voice so that everyone in the room turned to look at us, THEN he placed each object on the table, I was appalled.

I had no idea something like that would bother me so badly, until he did it. To this day he’s the only male who ever has done such a thing.By taking my purse away from me without even asking and then looking through it as though he had the right to do so, he made me feel like I didn’t matter in the slightest. I had no rights, he could do absolutely anything he wanted and I was supposed to just sit there and allow it.

And to make such an issue over every single item I carried was absolutely uncalled for. Needless to say that was the end of Jeff and I. It took me awhile to get over the shock of anyone being so ignorant, but I was glad I had found out sooner than later.

As I say, now that I am married to a wonderful man, I could care less if he ever looked through my purse. But I also know he never would, unless I asked him to, such as to find my keys for me. And he certainly wouldn’t act as childish as Jeff did.

If any man, (short of my own children or family member that I allowed to look through it for whatever reason) ever started looking through my purse again without my permission, I wouldn’t stand for it. I would probably make a scene then and there, calling attention to his rudeness and hopefully totally embarrassing him to the point he’d never try that sort of thing again. There’s just no excuse for such actions.

Nope. I'm hopeless when it comes to my purse. My keys always manage to get in the very, very bottom.

More than once I'd had to take everything out to get to them. So I don't put anything in that I won't mind if my neighbors or another complete stranger sees if I have to empty it into the hallway for some reason. If I don't care about strangers, I don't care about my SO seeing it.

I never ask people to find things in my purse except for my phone if it is ringing and I am driving. And by now, most people no that the correct answer to that is, "You can find it later" if they don't want to do the next task of, "Open it, see who it is, say hello. " .

Nope I guess I just don't have anything to hide from my husband, so it doesn't matter if he goes in there or not. There isnt anything in there he cant have or use, should he need to. I do ask my husband to go in there sometimes to get things for me when I am unable - hands are wet, full, etc.The only thing is that if he takes something out that he needs like the checkbook or camera, that he just let me know so I don't think I have lost it -which I do lose things pretty frequently!

I understand some people need their privacy and space but I suppose I would prefer that with the bathroom rather than my purse! I guess thats another Askville question entirely! Sources: Personal opinion .

I don't mind at all It's my husband of 10 years. It'd be a way different answer if it was my boyfriend of 10 months :) But, yes, I do ask my husband to go in my purse to get things, usually money when he needs it. Or my son's epi-pen if he's going out with my son without me (I normally am the one to carry it, but if my husband takes our son out, he has to remember to take the epi-pen).

Besides my wallet, my son's epi-pens, and some makeup, I don't really have anything in my purse. Some tissues, a pen and small calendar, and a couple of mashed up coupons that I got at the supermarket register. He's welcome to any of that, but besides the money, I'm not sure what he'd be interested in!

The only thing that would bother me is if he took all my money without telling me. But he's never done that in 10 years of marriage, so he's earned the right to go into my purse at any time he'd like.

No, I don't mind one iota. It means nothing to me at all. I have no secrets in there or anything that can't be seen or whatever.

I ask him to get something for me every once in a while from my purse or bag or whatever. I wish he would clean out the old receipts while he's in there...good grief. Do you mind it?

I guess so because of the question but if you do, why do you? Are you afraid to find something or that something will be found? Now I'm curious!.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
