I'd love to know if your spouse/SO is secure enough in his masculinity to . . . .

 hold your purse/handbag in public or if he has ever gone into the store without you and purchased sanitary feminine products for you?  Please participate in the poll and if you don't mind adding what state you are from.

DH and I were discussing this tonight and he thinks few, if any do.  I told him, more do than he thinks.

i'm in NC, my husband doesn' care if others see him buying the stuff. he tell me its a need and you should be embassed for buying something you family needs. he has held my purse too when i ask him too. 

also, my dad also had no problem buying feminine hygiene products for my mom and myself when i was growing up. but he wouldn't touch a my mom's purse he said its rude too. he said it was something his mother taught him when growing up.

I am in Washington State and votged Both.  Not an issue.  These are just a part of life.  None of us would be here without a woman's period.

 Muy husband will usually grab my purse when he wants me to hurray so we can leave some place. As for the tampoons/pads-yes he will and has but I don't ask anymore. He never brings me what I ask for. He'll get the right brand but not the right length/absorbency.  His comment-"is there really a difference?"-LOL! YES THERE IS!!!

We live in Louisville, Kentucky.  We started dating in high school, 1984 and married in 1990.  Within 1 year he would carry my purse, buy personal things at stores, stand just outside the changing room door to see what I looked like in the clothes I was trying on.

But I was proud of the most and I think the LEAST amount of Significant Others of the Male sex will do is...

I have had Migraines since I was a toddler but when I turned 19 they got so bad that I would vomit, have diarrhea, and look like one of the characters from the Zombie movies.  I had to get shots at the Dr.'s office and when they didn't work spend hours in the ER waiting room until they got me a bed for exams, shots, IVs, IV meds, more exams, and even stern words, lectures, etc. from the medical staff.  He spent hours on and with me dealing with it all for years.  When we started having kids he would still tkae care of me at home, but cut back on time at the ER.

The one thing he did was spend time in the Chanber of The Porcelin God where I spent a lot of my time paying homage to.  Ya know, the toilet!!!

Now, THAT is a man who takes extra steps that no one ever sees but would do even if hundreds of people could see it.
