I would be amazed if he were to claim them.

I wouldn't put it past him if he couldn't find his own

I love them! I bookmarked the site, for when I need reading glasses in
addition to my regular ones.

My husband claims he doesn't need reading glasses. That's mostly
because he doesn't do much reading. When the faucet in our bathroom
died he had to borrow a pair of my reading glasses to complete the
necessary repairs. I told him he could keep the pair he used (the ear
stems are too long and the frames too wide for my face) but he still
claims he doesn't need them.
I am no longer willing to enable him in his denial. When he tries to
snatch the reading glasses off of my face for various tasks, I've
implemented a "duck and swat" maneuver.
"I just want to borrow your glasses for a second."
"No. Your big ol' "Charlie Brown" head bends the frames. Where's the
pair I gave you?"

Costco has three packs of fairly good quality reading
glasses, why not invest in a set and make sure he KNOWS
which color is *his*? Saves on having to train a new DH to

replace this one. ;->
