To not like my husbands moustache?

He's decided to grow a moustache. I absolutely hate it. He looks like Freddy Mercury.
He's been and bought beard oils for it and has even dyed it with some just for men to hide the greys. Would I be unreasonable to shave it off in his sleep 😂

I wouldn't suggest shaving it off in his sleep but I think you need to have a frank conversation with him and make it clear that either the moustache goes or you do. It's not the 1980s and moustaches are inappropriate these days, if you really want a 'tache you can hope to get a plastic one out of a cracker.

Buy him a mullet wig and shell suit for Christmas?

Moustache's are inappropriate these days?! 😂

Are you married to Roy Keane?

He looks like Freddy Mercury.

@Dotjones - why are moustaches inappropriate these days?

I started googling mullets and came across this:

He needs a football kit.

I want to break free, I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free....

My sympathy OP, my DP has grown a particularly unattractive straggly long beard which I hate. He takes great delight in others commenting on it, and seems to think it makes him 'edgy'. One man even remarked 'I bet your wife hates it', to which he replied 'well its a good thing she has no say in the matter'. He spends far too much on beard oils, beard shampoo, special combs and other unnecessary shit. I don't comment on it anymore but he knows I hate it. Last year I went on holiday with friends as there was no way I was going to a hot climate with him and his straggly beard.

To be fair Freddy Mercury was pretty attractive

I feel your pain. Luckily for me he can't grow a beard anyway, just a god awful 'tache.

Idk about you, but if I stopped waxing and tweezing, I could probably grow my own to rival his 😂

poefaced · 23/12/2022 18:54

His face, his choice. You don’t have to snog him though.

Overandunderit · 23/12/2022 18:57

Or just let him do what he wants and not be controlling?

Buy a fake one and wear it yourself. All the time. Especially in public and in front of his friends and work colleagues. If he complains, say "I thought we were a moustachioed couple these days?"

I wonder how long it will be before the 'what if he demanded you shave your pubes' question come up? 😕

rwalker · 23/12/2022 23:35

Tell him he looks like Leonard mincing from Catherine tate
that should do it

chinchin77 · 23/12/2022 23:44

In Australia it's fashionable to have a mo! 💁🏻‍♀️

XenoBitch · 23/12/2022 23:46

Can you have a stache off? You try and grow one too Grin

I had an ex who decided he wanted a soul patch. Ugh, can't stand them!
