To ask my husband to grow a moustache?

I love the moustache look. Think specifically Pedro Pascal beard and moustache type thing.
Dh has a beard which I love but I want to ask him to cut it into a moustache.
Aibu to ask him?
I feel like if he asked me to change my hair or something similar id feel a bit hurt, but I also feel men have a different view/thicker skin with these things but maybe I'm being stereotypical and/or insensitive?

Ask him to shave completely. If he refuses then compromise with a moustache.

Or just make comments every time you see a man with a moustache "So handsome" "The things I would do to that man" etc

Good luck

Yea best off just telling him , he can only say no

I think if you admit you would feel hurt if he asked you to change your hair then it’s hypocritical. If you have a relationship where he could happily say ‘oooh that Scarlett Johansson is sooo fit with a pixie cut, I want you to get one’ then I’d say it’s fine. If you wouldn’t like that then I think slavering over Pedro Pascal and asking him to change his looks to be more like him is a bit off if I’m honest.

You’re bonkers. Leave him be.

So you'd be upset if you commented on his appearance but you want to comment on his? Come off it.

YABU. You grow one first. Show him how it is done.

I asked DH to grow a moustache because I wanted to find out whether Maupassant was right. He was.

(Right about the effect of a moustache on intimate kissing, that is...)

I've read this as a little more light-hearted than others seem to have so not sure if I've got the tone right.

I wouldn't say I want you to grow a moustache but (assuming you know he can grow one and it isn't a sore spot for him) I would playfully and lightheartedly suggest that you have a bit of a fantasy about him growing a moustache. Of course whilst also expressing how attractive you find him as he is. You never know he might decide all of a sudden he fancies one himself 😁.

I mean, there's no harm in telling him that you really like a moustache on a man and asking whether he'd consider trying one out for you. Just don't be offended if he either says no.

It is a little hypocritical of you to say that you'd be upset if he asked for the same in return, though.
