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.

Soooo behind - should have read on...

Would not do the facial hair thing although the bleach/ mascara idea is inspired.

Mind you wouldn't do the gymnastics thing either....

Oh God

As soon as I saw the blue colour of it in the bag, I knew, it all fell into place.

nah I wouldn't do the facial hair.

If he likes it hairy, I would find it ok to leave it on my body (especially this time of year, who would see it?) but not on my face.

JazzHands · 27/03/2009 20:19

Oh that's not so bad, surely...

ZZZen · 27/03/2009 20:21

oh this is a wind-up? Duh....

AlistairSim · 27/03/2009 20:26

Could have been worse, could have been Pappa Smurf.

DunderMifflin · 27/03/2009 20:28

I don't care if this is a wind-up - it really has made me LOL!

I wanted to go to Florida on holiday but he suggested Iceland instead.

He said "What with their economy collapsing and all that it'll be a really cheap holiday."

I just thought he was a tight-arse.

This has got to be a joke surely. If not what the hell are you going to do, there are bigger issues here
