He has a beard.

I hate it.

Its hairy and tickly and when I kiss him they go in my mouth.

dont kiss him then.

Weegle · 23/02/2008 20:51

don't kiss him

hecate · 23/02/2008 20:51

He has the right not to shave, you have the right to not kiss him or have any, ahem, close contact because you hate it. His choice.

Hark..is that the sound of manly footsteps pounding to the bathroom??

Disenchanted · 23/02/2008 20:51

how can I not kiss him?!

How long has this been going on ?

kyala · 23/02/2008 20:54

My DH has a goatee kind of thing (he changes it occasionally and sometimes it's a beard and sometimes it's not IYSWIM?!!) I like it but Dh keeps it trimmed around his mouth.
How long is his?! Is it like a proper beard with a tash and everything?
I'm not keen on those either but wouldn't have started even going out with a guy with a proper beard, and if he didn't have one in the first place and then started growing one I'd claim it was grounds for divorce! (I'm obviously a very mean selfish person when it comes to my DH!!)

Disenchanted · 23/02/2008 20:54

A long time!

Hes only 22. I managed to get him to trim it very, very short for our wedding, but he wouldnt shave with a razor.

Now its back... with a vengance!

I'm with you kyala.

wish I'd thought to put it into our wedding vows somehow.

"in sickness and in health as long as clean shaven"

"for richer for poorer; for smoother but not for hairier"

something like that.

Disenchanted · 23/02/2008 20:57

The hairs are about half an inch long. He trimmed his 'tash when I refused nookie the other night but wont trim the rest.

He was only 12 when we met so DEFINATLY didnt have one then! lol

OP posts:
Divastrop · 23/02/2008 20:58

did he have it when you met him?

when dh was too lazy to shave decided to grow a beard,i told him that i dont like beards,and i wouldnt have been attracted to him if he'd had a beard when we met.i have refused to kiss him when its got long as well.

he's taken to shaving again now,thankfully.

Divastrop · 23/02/2008 20:59

x posts.

you could always refuse to shave any part of your own body in protest

Disenchanted · 23/02/2008 21:00

Urghhh, diva!

Im not a lazyarse like him, I have to shave!!

yuck!

OP posts:
skidoodle · 23/02/2008 21:00

oooh I like divastrop's hairy protest idea.

Disenchanted · 23/02/2008 21:06

Or maybe i should grow a beard too! lol

OP posts:
kyala · 23/02/2008 22:19

lol I'd like to see pics of that (you trying to grow a beard nothing else!!)
I very rarely shave my legs (not in protest, more cos I'm cold!!) but DH doesn't even realise (if he does he's not said) but does notice when I do shave (IYSWIM)
Anyway. . . . .

branflake81 · 24/02/2008 08:14

My OH went through that stage a few years ago and had a full beard. Thing is, he didn't even trim it so it was really shaggy and unkempt. I wasn't a big fan tbh but like you say, it's his body so didn't feel I could really complain. He looks so much better now it's gone.

beaniesteve · 24/02/2008 12:38

I loke beards, but I appreciate others don't. However YABU - it's his face. How would you feel if he started telling you which hair he prefered you didn't have?

WallOfSilence · 24/02/2008 12:44

I hate it when dh doesn't shave.

He doesn't have a beard or anything. He is just stubbly.

I tell him I won't shag him unless he shaves.

It's funny how quick he legs it to the bathroom.

Disenchanted · 24/02/2008 12:46

I dont have any hair beanie! lol

Because I know its gross and he wouldnt like it!

OP posts:
RustyBear · 24/02/2008 12:49

I love DH's beard (see profile)Sometimes it tickles, but I'd never ask him to trim it just before nookie, because that makes it spiky. He usually trims it in the morning & by bedtime it's gone soft again.

Disenchanted · 24/02/2008 12:51

Rusty, thats like a stubbly beard

I like that...like sawyer from lost, yum.

but his is ling, and the hairs arent stubbly, they are like pubes!!

OP posts:
Disenchanted · 24/02/2008 12:51

not ling...long!!

OP posts:
Disenchanted · 24/02/2008 12:54

Ps your DD is stunning rusty!!

VictorianSqualor · 24/02/2008 12:56

You don't have any hair because he wouldn't like it?
I couldn't imagine doing anything because DP wouldn't like it.
