I feel "unsafe" of not holding the handbag myself.
But grocery and stuff, definitely will ask hubby to carry if too heavy. But I'll also share the load if too heavy for him.
I don't like to ask my husband to carry my bag for me, i think the bag designs are usually matching for girls only it just looks ridiculous to see men carry them around imo.
NEVER! well .. I think he held it for a min when I was going into the x-ray room and it was small enough that he stuff it into his pocket...
But ladies, try to put as much as you can carry into your own handbags. I usually try to use a smaller one to avoid my bf putting his stuff into my handbag. ( He dropped his camera once because he tried to put it in his jacket pocket... and it's NOT a small camera)
Anyway, I think men look super ugly when they carry female handbags. Especially those smaller size once or the pink and bling bling style ones.
