To not want to make myself look awful just to please DH

Very bashful namechanger

Ok here goes.

DH and I have had this thing where we have agreed to do the other's favourite fantasy. We've done mine, which was nice .

The trouble is I thought I knew what his was going to be and it's not what I expected.

So, if you were in this position would you so some or any of the following:

a. put on a lot of weight
b. wear clothes he likes but make you look like something Wayne Rooney would go for
c. stop removing unwanted hair
d. dye hair appalling/unflattering colour

It's one of those but I am too embarrassed to say which.

DH thinks I have conned him, he doesn't think his request is a big deal.

Well not practising naked, just thinking of what might work well and limbering up.

Do you think if I tell him he might go for that instead?

TBCoalman, that sounds a great idea. You are all cheering me up.

I refuse to believe you have been "limbering up"

Idranktheeasterspirits · 27/03/2009 13:35

Have you considered a Burkah?

Oh I am really chuckling at the 'I want to break free' video

PinkTulips · 27/03/2009 13:37

why don't you just explain to him that although you would dearly love to make him happy that doesn't extend to making yourself miserable, which being seen in public with a tache would do, and could he please pick something, anything at all that could be kept to the privacy of the bedroom and you'd be more than willing to go for it.

TBCoalman · 27/03/2009 13:38

Perhaps next time you could tell him that it has always been your fantasy to see your DH doing naked gymnastics on You Tube.

And that it would be even better if all of Mumsnet could see it too.

Has morningpaper seen this thread do you reckon? It's got to feature on the week's roundup.
I have never laughed at a post so hard as at Freddie Mercury and the "it won't take two weeks to grow"

TrillianAstra · 27/03/2009 13:42

The lesson of the day is: don't agree to do reciporcal fantasy-acting-out until you hear what DH expects you to do!

I'd forgotten about the v strange second half with the skintight body stockings.

DrNortherner · 27/03/2009 13:45

Oh this thread has mae me laugh so much. Got to be a wind up right?

I have often wondered why soem women go out in public with an untamed tache, now I will blame their dp/dh and their little fantasies....

MissAnthrope · 27/03/2009 13:57

Why not direct DH to that youtube link, paying particular attention to the comment made by TelcontartheFirst;

"A great rack and a great mustache should not be on the same person"

HolyGuacamole · 27/03/2009 15:33

Could you not just get one of THESE

Can we have an emoticon with tache just for this thread?

LOL HolyGuacamole!

UPDATE: he phoned just before I left for the school run to say sorry for pressuring me.

I ran plan B by him (nude gymnastics display). He was keener than expected but he asked if - given that I would be naked later on in the proceedings anyway - whether I would consider at least starting to do it in a leotard or exercise suit of his choosing.

So I said OK but am trying not to be offended that he didn't want the whole thing au naturel. (BTW I do have a nice body and am very toned, it wouldn't have looked like a blancmange fight. Well not much.) But I guess I can understand.

The interesting bit is I phoned him back when we got back from school as there was something I forgot to say and his secretary said he had left early to go shopping.

She must have noticed the suprise in my voice as she added "He said he needed to get something you wanted."

Blimey, he's keen!

Needless to say I rang him on his mobile but he wouldn't say where he was going as he was standing in the street.

Just get one of these

HolyGuacamole · 27/03/2009 16:00

Oh come on. Men like to do the whole 'imagining what's underneath' thing

Sounds like you're in for a good night! You need to spill the beans on what he's bought you though.

Anglepoise · 27/03/2009 17:47

Grow it. Bleach it. Mascara it in for night of passion. Remove next morning. Ta da

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 27/03/2009 18:04

So long as it isn't a "Bubbles" suit, dahlink!

JazzHands · 27/03/2009 18:07

ROFL ROFL at this thread thanks all

And OP so pleased that you have managed to get out of striding forth into the world looking like Magnum

Wouldn't do a or d but would quite happily stop removing excess hair (am doing this one already most of the time without any prompting from my DH ) and wouldn't mind the clothes as they can be changed and if he likes then that will make you feel attractive (possibly) even if it is not really your thing.

The other stuff too long term and you couldn't really get away with other people not noticing and commenting which could lead to awkward questions....
