The beards gone....

So “D”P shaved his beard off this evening. He’s had it for at least 5 years.
He looks like a complete stranger.

AIBU to make him sleep in the shed?

Not U at all. When my DP did this a few months ago I was soooo creeped out by him.

HistoriaTrixie · 06/10/2020 20:31

I would be seriously creeped out if mine shaved too! He had a small goatee when we met but once he hit about 35 he decided to grow it in and now a decade later I can't imagine him bare faced. Shock

My husband did that and my 3yo at the time freaked her shit...Pit him in the shed

redvest · 06/10/2020 20:42

But what does he look like? 10 years younger (sleep with him), all pouchy, like a hampster (the shed)

Rexasaurus · 06/10/2020 20:44

It wasn’t intentional. He was giving it a little trim & a tidy up and the youngest knocked his arm & he ended up with a huge chunk missing so just got rid of it all 😖

Luckily, we have older photos of when he was clean shaven in the house & the kids are a bit older so can make the connection.

When dh had his long hair cut off ds wouldn't go near him for weeks!!

liverbird10 · 06/10/2020 20:47

Beards are vile. YABU to have not LTB when he grew one.

My dad has always had a beard, and every couple of years he would shave it off it was very weird lol

Blueberrycreampie · 06/10/2020 20:49

When my OH had his full beard shaved off nearly 30 years ago I didn't notice. I kept looking at him thinking something's different. Took me ages to work it out!

Rexasaurus · 06/10/2020 20:53

He might look a bit younger. I can’t look at him long enough to check.

I remember when my dad had a tight perm in the 80s. I couldn't even look at him and he was so upset!

Beards are God's gift. Nothing sexier on a man than a decent beard.

NewlyGranny · 06/10/2020 21:00

A complete stranger is... interesting. I was out at a meeting when DH shaved his decade-old beard and came home to find what looked like my BiL grinning sheepishly at me!

It must be decent though. A pubey straggling beard is revolting.

LTB
My ex did it and it was horrible.

ladybee28 · 06/10/2020 21:02

My DP keeps threatening to do this (lightheartedly before the LTB brigade come marching in).

It's hilarious when he pulls it in towards his neck because it reveals that he has SUCH A TINY CHIN!

BIL would completely freak me out. I had the opposite issue. 9 years ago DH decided to do Movember, I dislike the facial hair so much I refused to sleep with him until he shaved it off. The resultant manic shagging in December resulted in DS.
Westiegirl3 · 06/10/2020 21:20

No U at all, DH shaved his off a couple of years ago thinking I'd be surprised and pleased..I was so mortified

Rexasaurus · 06/10/2020 21:20

It was a proper decent beard.

Now he reminds me of our youngest’s teacher 😱

This is my worst nightmare. DH has such a beautiful beard Sad .

PrivateD00r · 06/10/2020 21:26

I would be so happy, but then I hate them! Surely it will soon grow back if he so wishes?

FippertyGibbett · 06/10/2020 21:26

Just pretend he’s your toy-boy 😉

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 06/10/2020 21:29

Dh grows an immense wild mountainy man beard in the summer and Christmas holidays. His covid beard was exceptional. I get sad when he shaves it off.
