Mark obviously hasn't trained you as well as have trained Juliet. We DO NOT go shopping, except for groceries.

How? She buys her clothing online. Since she only wears sports outfits, no kidding, and she knows exactly the sizes of her favourite brand, she doesn't need me for shopping. So, that might be a strategy for you to escape Mark's "romance".

But don't let him know that I told you.

Oh, and Juliet is Ebenezer-type frugal with herself. So, I have no worries at all in that department.
