Go to Planned Parenthood with me when I need to pick up my pills. But, I'm kind enough to let him sit in the car, because let's face it, I don't even want to go in. It's amazing that I'm able to leave that place still speaking English when I'm done...

I really can't think of anything "embarrassing" that I make my fiance do for me. Occasionally he has picked up my pills from CVS, but he makes me go pick up his Nexiuum and other assorted drugs, and he's a physician so it doesn't phase him to pick up prescriptions for anything.

Holding my purse is about the limit... although I did have him pick up some hair stuff at the drugstore once, which probably looked a bit strange as he's essentially got a buzz cut and doesn't really need John Frieda brunette hair products

Sometimes I will ask him to pick up my pills or tampons. At first he was embrassed, but he has gotten used to it by know.

I have also dragged my boyfriend to planned parenthood with me. It sort of made me wince when you said you were surprised you came out speaking English, but you're completely right. I definitely feel like an apple in a group of pears when I go there.

Aside from that I have made him hold my purse while we were playing golf. He would get annoyed and shove my purse in random places. I got so annoyed I never let him hold my purse again (I'm sure he's happy)

i've had ex boyfriends do all of the above. hold my purse, make my phone calls to schedule appointments, rub my feet in front of his friends, do the cooking, the driving for me and my girlfriend.

trust me, i earned all of it!

Oh my hubby doesn't care much. I always get him to pick up my feminine products, carry my purse when I can't, etc. He doesn't mind doing so.

I try not to make him hold my purse. The worst he gets is having to watch the grocery cart with my purse in it while I go get something. I can't bring myself to make him sleep under floral sheets or decorate with a feminine theme. I think you can get around those things by compromising on your tastes.

ANYWAY. i make my beautiful Guatemalan boyfriend go to the pharmacy with me to buy my pills. and he cooks for me. and he cleans. and he supports my feminist views. and yes, he'll even go shopping with me. yes, i love my man.

I ask my husband to hold my purse sometimes when we're out shopping. He doesn't really care...he looks so macho that people can pretty much tell he's holding the purse for me. I think I also once asked him to pick up some lube once too, but for some reason that didn't seem to embarrass him too much. Probably because it made him look like a stud or something, lol. He does get embarrassed when he comes with me to buy things like dresses and underwear. He absolutely hates being trapped in the lingerie sections of the stores, lol.

The only thing i make my other half do that he doesn't want to is leave the house

He absolutely hates people, and the noise and herding mentality that comes with them.. But he does venture out once or twice a month for our date night.. and tries to remain as pleasant as possible..Tho I know it drives him insane.. he just wants to make sure I am happy

I do all his shopping for him because I would rather have a happy boyfriend then a grumpy boyfriend who spent that day at the mall heh

I don't think he is really embarrassed by tampons or pills. But I found out yesterday that he is embarrassed to go in Victoria's Secret!! lol Our boyfriends are alike on that Spectra

I thought these would be funnier pills, tampons, and purse holding is not a big deal.

My boyfriend isn't embarrassed about anything like that. There's really nothing I could make him do that he would so much as bat an eyelash at. Maybe he would have when he was 15.

Nothing embarrasses my fiance. Absolutely nothing.

wiciltd, that's exactly how my boyfriend is! he's socially capable, he just doesn't much like being in the company of others. so he'll gladly hold my purse, give me backrubs, and bring me snacks, but our date nights are few and far between! lol although that is a combo b/t our broke college-student status & his introvertedness.

Not to be off topic, but I don't think Brandy was "spewing", I think she was saying what is factual. This is America and anyone coming here from anywhere else is nothing but privileged to be here and should learn to assimilate and learn English. This is not Mexico/Guatemala/San Salvador, etc. Anyway, to the topic... My boyfriend rarely get embarassed by things. He always offers to do things most guys would make a deal over. He'll hold my purse and go shopping with me and wait while I try clothes on, he sat outside with me for 6 hours in the middle of the summer to wait on an iPhone, he's amazing. I love him.

I can't think of anything potentially embarassing I've ever asked him to do. I don't carry anything that could be considered a purse - not one that the average guy would be embarrassed to be seen carrying and he's carried it for me on occasion without being asked. Just sort of takes it and keeps walking. He drives me to my gynocologist(sp?) without blinking an eye and just sits in the waiting room reading Time.

He's kinda awesome.

one time i had horrible period cramps and he went out and came back with a whole "Period pack" it had a HUGE box of tampons (he didn't know what size to get me! haha) a box of midol, some gingerale and a couple of chocolate bars......I don't think he was very embarrassed he has 3 sisters!!! BUT here is the worst thing - there was one night I thought I had a tampon stuck inside of me and I really thought it was up there and I couldn't get it out SO I made him drive me to the emergency room at 1 AM and we were there until 3 all to find out that there wasn't anything at all!!!! I guess it was more embarrassing for me but I think he was a little freaked out by it!!! hah

I've never had my boyfriend go buy tampons for me, but I don't think he'd mind. He doesn't get embarrassed over any of that stuff. He's pretty awesome.

I was born in America, but I don't feel very privileged to live in a land of ignorance and intolerance.

My boyfriend will do things he doesn't really want to do (support me at races, go to vegetarian restaurants), but nothing embarrassing.

I see nothing wrong with holding purses as long as you're nearby. He also insists on being the driver wherever we go and watches my dramas and sappy movies with me.
I would never make him go pick up pads and stuff by himself unless I was like bleeding through my pants. I'm prepared like that I doubt he would mind though, since he's unfazed by all my pad stashes(in the car, nightstand, every purse I own has a pad/tampon in it...just in case. I know I'm not the only one). Periods only freak him out because he doesn't like the blood and the smell.

I did, however drag him into Planned Parenthood back in the day. Unfortunately that day they were super busy and so he waited there for like 4 hours. It was not a happy experience, and he hasn't been back since. Sorry, honey.

Nothing embarrasses my boyfriend. He's carried my pink rucksack through town when we're shopping before.

The most embarrassing thing I think I've asked him to do is mind my holistic therapy/crystals shop when I am away doing something else!

I'd never ask him to buy my tampons because he'd PROBABLY BUY THE WRONG ONES!! =P

I need to ask him because I am sure there is something that I don't realize. He eagerly goes to yoga and sometimes has to drag me. I get my own feminine products with no shame or I hold the basket when we are out together. He will ask to hold my purse when we are out and I need both hands, but I don't stick it with him. He seems uncomfortable when I hang with some really crunchy granolas, but I refrain from putting him in those situations when I do it now.

When I was a cashier at a local grocery store, some guy came in around 10p and bought a box of tampons; I could definitely tell he was embarassed about it. So he buys them and leaves. Ten minutes later he comes back in, extremely sheepsih and says, "I bought the wrong ones" so we go over to the tampon aisle together to help him get exactly the ones his wife asked him to.

Poor guy!

Before my husband and I lived together he once went to the bodega at 6 AM to get me some emergency tampons. He rules.

Nothing embarrasses my boyfriend. I mean when my hands are full or whatnot he OFFERS to hold my purse.

Mine is the same way wiciltd! Purses and tampons aside, he just doesn't enjoy leaving out cozy little love nest (insert laugh track). People and crowds in general annoy him, and me as well, so just going to Target on the wrong day/at the wrong hour can be super uncomfortable. Though, on my b*tchier days, I have had him pad behind me while shopping in the Women's department...

nicachica: lets not be too touchy about the hispanic comments. im hispanic and i dont think branynichole was trying to say anything bad. im pretty sure she was just trying to explain her reasoning for the first comment.

brandynichole: i know where you are coming from. even though im hispanic i still had to learn to speak spanish and its a frustrating language to deal with when you speak very little or none at that.

as for the guys. I've only asked one of my exes if i could play with his hair when i got bored one day and i TOTALLY put all my clips and barrets in it. haha he didnt like it but he tolerated it. for about 15 minutes. hah

My boyfriend doesn't really embarrass either, I have sent him to drugstore for tampons and he doesn't flinch! He is great!

There is nothing in this world that I have asked my husband to do for me that embarrasses him.

He actually asks when he goes to to store if I need any feminine stuff to add to the list. The only thing I think he might have been embarrassed about (i.e. probably said everyone at the store "it's for a friend") was when I had horrible food poisoning and I sent him out for some immodium and gatorade.

I don't make my hubby do any he!he! things. He'll hold my purse. He'll go and buy my pads and panty liners. He loves to go to the adult toy stores to buy flavored motion lotions and games.

There was a point when after I had our daughter he would have to push a pink stroller with the pink newborn carrier. He would carry the pink diaper bag. He even looked so manly walking in the mall holding his baby girl all in pink wrapped in a pink blanky with the pink burp rag across his shoulder... He is a very proud daddy.

My man will go and sit with me while I get my nails and toes done. I love my baby. We've been together going on 3 years and he's never had a problem doing girly things with me..(chick flicks) He's just comfortable with himself and he could care less what people have to say.

Hold my purse...ha! boys hate it when i ask them that in the mall its pretty hilarious

My bf is awesome he does all the "horrible" girl stuff for me without any question. He'll hold my purse by me tampons he's the one that bought the test when I was afraid we were pregnant. He's very even tempered and doesn't care what other people think. He goes shoppign with me and tells me how I look even though I know he hates it. He even went to the gynecologist with me without being forced. I try my best not to ask him to do those things because he's so easygoing about it and it makes me feel bad but he honestly would do anythign for me

my bf doesn't get embarassed by ANYTHING. I swear...he doesn't mind or if he does feel uncomfortable he'll make a joke of it, but he still does it. He always offers to carry my purse, esp at clubs and bars when we're dancing...I think it's so I have more ummm...freedom to dance with him and touch him LOL (that MUST be his thinking!) and he doesn't mind drugstore runs for my feminine things either. Such a sweetie^^

Use a coupon... On his own, he'd never use a coupon - never!

I don't think anything fazes my husband- but I don't ask him to do things I can do myself. I pick up all my own feminine hygiene products, I don't like chick flicks (and so don't request that he watch them with me), and I don't ask him to hold my purse- because my purse is small and easy to handle.

I guess the worst thing I've ever asked him to do is try a dish that had tofu in it- which to me isn't embarrassing, but to some of his macho guy friends would probably be girly.

My first thought was sending the guy to the store for a pregnancy test, something I personally havent done- but since we are married people wouldnt really look at a guy oddly who was married and buying a test.

I do remember my best friend and I sending our boyfriends to the store for some random things we wanted/needed one night when we were all hanging out at his house. They got to the check out and put all their stuff on the counter. The guy at the register kinda snickered and the boys realized that they had camera film, Popsicles and condoms- they were embarrassed. They got back to the house and said from then on we were ALL going to the store together.

Nothing embarrasses my husband. He will carry my purse for me when it gets to heavy, get me pads/tampons when I need them.

My husband has never been one to get embarrassed..so, he doesn't hesitate to do anything for me or go get anything I may need. Oh, there is only one area he does get embarrassed, and that's dancing. Sometimes he surprises me and does it..and it's so much fun!. We always have the best time. I think he is actually getting better in this area.

my boyfriend once stole a couple boxes of pads for me lolzz

He carries my purse, he comes with me to get my pills, I drag him to makeup counters. He doesn't mind. He works at Target in the Health and Beauty department; he's totally used to straightening out boxes of tampons and whatnot.

I don't think my husband gets embarrassed too easily...I can't even think of any situations...I know he's bought me tampons at CVS several times and hasn't batted an eye.

he doesn't mind most things, but holding my purse for more than a moment is a no-no!

My boyfriend is really hard to embarrass, especially now that we've been together for three years. And I can't think of what used to embarrass him. He too offers to hold my purse when my hands are full, and even once used the opportunity to sneak Juicy Couture parfum into my purse while I was shopping for prom shoes. But, embarrassing, I don't know but I'm certainly going to ask!

LOL....such a nice topic.

Can't remember right now all the things I've made him to do, but the purse issue, definitely! haha....

My boyfriend has bought me tampons and Midol before. He actually even has some Midol in his car. If I'm trying something on, he doesn't mind holding my purse at all, I'm usually apologizing about it but he says it doesn't bother him since I'm right there anyway. He doesn't usually mind going shopping, either, because he likes to see me try things on and pick things out he thinks I'll like. He also usually gets to come in the dressing room, so I guess that doesn't hurt.

The only thing I can think of that he does is watch movies that I like, like Audrey Hepburn movies. It might be a little embarassing that I put a lot of very unmanly movies on his Blockbuster queue.

Heres the worst thing I've ever done. My boyfriend and I were going to the fair so I didn't want to carry a purse. However, I was on my period so I needed to have readily available tampons. I had one of those portable ones they had commercials for that supposedly look like candy wrappers (they don't) so i put it in my boyfriends pocket. He was like whats that? I was like just keep it, please.

Katies104,
Actually my boyfriend pulled one of those portable tampons (the yellow packaged one) out of my purse and started to open it... He thought it was laffy taffy!!!!!
It was hilarious I still tease him about it
