Bra Shopping (TMI maybe)

I hate bra shopping!  I have 2 favorite bras and one semi-favorite bra and they have been discontinued.  I have tried NUMEROUS bras since I got these and nothing fits like they do.
I recently made a comment to my boyfriend as he was helping me do laundry about how this was my favorite bra and I couldn't find it anymore.  I mainly made this comment because I was a little embarrassed that the bra was starting to look a little - okay maybe alot - tattered.  He took this to mean he needed to make it his personal mission to search out that bra style (which had been long rubbed off the tag) by scouring the internet's vast selection of bra photos looking for it.  I told him I was pretty sure it was discontinued thinking that might steer him away.  I looked over a few minutes later and discovered him on his phone on ebay.  He is an ebay freak and while I have bought stuff from there and you can sometimes get good deals, well, just NO, EW, nothankyou!  "I DO NOT want a bra off ebay," I say. "Even if it's new?" he replies.  "NO!"  I say, hoping this will end the bra search.  Really, finding the right bras takes hours of standing in front of dressing room mirrors which make me look at least 10 if not 20 pounds heavier than I actually am and then most of the time I still can't find the right bra, just one that will do.  Which is why I'm wearing bras with holes in them that are about to fall apart. I know, nice mental picture.
So this morning I get a text...
     Him:  I'm looking for your bra, I think it might be such and such style.
     Me:  No, that's not it.
Does he really think I haven't looked and looked and looked for this particular bra style.  Finally after a few more texts and an email I say...
     I'm pretty sure I know the style numbers, the one you emailed is not one of them.  The ones I like are discontinued.
Surely this will end his quest, right?  
     Him:  I know they don't make them anymore, I just thought you might like the one I emailed
     Me:  I have found bras that I like and can wear, but I LOVE these bras and have never found any that fit like them.
Maybe that will do it?
     Him:  Ok, I'll keep looking
     Me:  Really. Don't
     Him:  OK
I hate to be so blunt but I guess I'm not good at getting my point across otherwise.  
My phone just buzzed...
     Him:  You are a (insert size here) right?
     Him:  I'm sending you an email
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!
