To hate DH's beard

I'm a horrible person for feeling this way because he's always supportive of me whatever I look like and tells me I'm gorgeous whether fat, less fat, bad hair day, whatever, but I really, really don't like his beard. I know a lot of women do like them but I never have. It makes him look old (it's white, the rest of his hair is still pretty dark), hides his face, and when we kiss it feels like I'm kissing an animal, he's so furry. When he's eating, food sometimes gets trapped which is a bit🤢. He knows I don't like it and I think if I pushed hard enough he would shave it off but I don't want to be controlling and don't think I should be telling him what to do with his own facial hair. I tried saying I'm not shaving my legs or armpits till you shave, but he said he didn't care if I was hairy, and I only lasted a week before caving! WIBU to say it's your choice if you want to keep the beard but it's my choice if I want to kiss you with it? I think he'd resent me making him get rid of it. I think what I really want is for him to decide for himself that he's had enough of it but that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Any ideas what I can do? Or should I just accept and fancy him as he is, like he's always done with me?

Buy a fake beard stick it on your face, rub liberally with a few bacon butties and some cheese and onion crisps, drink a few beers and then drool abit. Then kiss him passionately and ask for feedback

Just about says it all really. Beards are 🤮
