Or... maybe consider enjoying the time talking with your SO? Take her to some of the shops you like? Or you both like*?
*Assuming that it isn't some shitass arranged marriage crap, you actually love each other and have common interests.
You think it's not okay to spend personal time away from your SO?
Hell no. But if you are going to the mall with them, at least make an attempt.
I can think of a few reasons one partner would want to be off alone for a bit, or where the other person is going to just be standing there saying nothing bored for a bit because the person shopping needs to concentrate on what they're going to buy. If I'm honest going to a big mall like this is not something we'd do on a regular basis these days and getting the hell out of it would probably be high on our priority list, so in all likelihood we'd have split to sort anything that could be sorted independently so we could spend some time doing something we actually enjoy.
That would be the "make an attempt" part, yes.
I can play video games at home. Paying to play video games in a mall does not constitute "an attempt".
Most of my time spent at the mall with a SO was watching them look at clothing for hours and them helping me pick something out in minutes. There weren't really any stores that interested me and It's not an activity I would have ever chosen to do myself, but they liked it so it was just one of those things I bit the bullet on. Sometimes I'd bring them along when I went to a hardware store or hobby shop to look at something but even then the time spent was way in their favor because I usually knew what I was looking for ahead of time and would get in and get out.
I wasn't going to invite you to any parties anyway, but now I'm definitely not. Honestly, we're going to have to introduce sense-of-humor lessons at school.
Reading deep into this much? No reason to go balls deep
