DH is growing a beard

It looks terrible, all big and bushy and ginger and Viking like!! Yuck! He knows my objections, but is putting them down to 'time of the month' and 'you'll get used to it, dear!'!

He still expects me to be hair free though.

Will IBU to stop all my daily/ weekly (waxing body, brazilian, shaving underarms, waxing face and eyebrows) hair removing routines in protest until he shaves his face? Mind, I am very hairy naturally.

DH has a pretty thick skin, all the insults just roll off him! Grrr! He looks about 10/ 15 years older with the damn thing!

At first he said he'd shave just before we went to my parent's for Christmas... now he says he likes the damn thing so much he's going to keep it...

i love beards (not on my face tho obv ) my dh has got one, he keeps it short tho. But if you really dont like it i think he should be a bit more understanding afterall you look at his face more than he does, just tell him keep it short.

I rather like it when DH doesn't shave for a few weeks.

Would quite enjoy having a nice big hairy viking about the place.

At first I thought you being U, because I like beards. But then I remembered the other week when dp shaved the chin bit off and kept a sort of my name is earl style biker moustache thing which made him look like freddie mercury and was AWFUL but he thought it made him look like a 70's porn star - (which to me is still not a good thing) and eventually I persuaded him it had to GO because I couldn't look directly at him.

Beware of the velcro effect if he refuses to trim his beard and you refuse to trim your bush

DH2B has a beard, but it has to be kept clean and trimmed. Admittedly he is in the Navy so it's not my rule but if he wasn't then it would be.

My dh has a beard and I really like it. In fact I really like facial hair in general (except for terrible beards, like the one Brad Pitt is sporting at the moment). Sometimes he gets bored and shaves it off, and then I'm always glad when he rows it back again. But it is his face, and he can do what he likes with it really. I wouldn't consider it to be reasonable to tell him what to do. But then I would consider it totally unreasonable if he asked me to do anything to do with my appearance (I generally have all my body hair just the way it grows).

So if your dh makes you do all that hair removal then he is VU, but if you really think he should shave because of your feelings then I think that you are BU.
