AIBU being asked to shave!

XP going thru a rough time so I invited him for Xmas with me and DS. Ended up sleeping together and have had a sort of reconciliation though he doesn't seem to have much interest in sex (bit like last couple years of relationship due to substance abuse and treating me like dirt). I have said he obv doesn't want me and he insisted that's not the case as why would he not (13 years older than me and general opinion always that he should count himself lucky). now I've just had a text saying if I shave that might help as he really doesn't like hair! Despite never bringing this up in years before! its not like my lady garden is wild and overgrown, bikini line done and all neatly trimmed, just not bloody bald and 'all smooth bits' as he said! AIBU for telling him he should thank his lucky stars I even look at him after all he's done and that i think he should be glad to get anywhere near my fanny, bald or not?!!

Why ARE you looking at him?! He's an ex, crap at sex, substance misuse and treats you like dirt?!?!

WonderWhippet · 04/01/2018 22:25

I'm not quite sure why you're even bothered what he thinks? Its really odd.

Move on

Stella60 · 04/01/2018 22:26

Your body, your choice. Would you tell someone else to shave?

Angelf1sh · 04/01/2018 22:26

^ this. Why would you be surprised that a man who has previously treated you like dirt is now trying to control your bodily autonomy? Get rid.

TheQueenOfWands · 04/01/2018 22:26

Yeah, shave your fanny.

That'll turn him into a decent, kind man...

Don't shave, not for him. Or any man really. Shave if you WANT to. No other reason.

letsdolunch321 · 04/01/2018 22:27

Cheeky fucker. Tell him to jog on

Stella60 · 04/01/2018 22:28

And so what if you were overgrown and wild? Even in a committed relationship that would be my choice entirely. And his about his body

That was all what I thought but when I replied telling him he should love me without conditions (amongst other comments lol) he said 'a simple request gone nuts' and I started to wonder if I was actually going mad! All because I felt sorry for him at Xmas!

I assume his sack back and crack has been recently waxed?

PickAChew · 04/01/2018 23:07

Keep remembering how crap the last few years with him were.

MotherCupboard · 04/01/2018 23:08

Where is your self esteem?

phoenix1973 · 04/01/2018 23:10

Oh gawd why are you returning to the dregs of humanity. Guy sounds like a wanker the first time round. He's not worthy. Admit you are vulnerable to youself and understand you neef to be more protective of your feelings and value yourself!!!
Suggest he has a back sack n crack wax and see what he says. Dickhead

Ryder63 · 04/01/2018 23:10

Save him the horror of having to look at your horrid hairy fanny again by never letting him anywhere near it! porn obsessed most likely.

Iloveidris · 04/01/2018 23:11

I'd tell him you'd appreciate it if he had his dick resized as you've never liked small dicks.

And then dont ever ever sleep with this wank stain again

honeyroar · 04/01/2018 23:11

He should love you the way you are, you're right. In actual fact he doesn't love you much at all. It's not even two weeks since Xmas and he's making you feel shit already, He should count his lucky stars, you're right, but he doesn't, and he would've blown it if I were in your shoes..

Cbaanymore123 · 04/01/2018 23:13

I would say I loved you when you treated me like shit and was an addict you should love my grizzly vagina.

Grow a backbone please op what is this man doing for you really ?

Have some self respect if not for yourself for your child. Do you want them growing up thinking it's ok and allowing people to treat themlike shit ? To make them feel bad about themselves.

If you think that's ok there is something seriously wrong with you.

3 years ago before I left him I was so low I would have done it if he'd asked because I had no self esteem. Unfortunately for him I've grown stronger in the last few years so will NOT b shaving any part of my body or indeed looking at any part of his any more!

I will shave no problem dearest, can you have a penile extension before the next sesh too??

April229 · 04/01/2018 23:33

Why are you trying to coax a loser in to sleeping with you.

Have some pride, stand tall and move on.

MiddleClassProblem · 04/01/2018 23:34

Maybe it’s bevause you mentioned “love” that he replied that?

Either way he’s only after the sex not the relationship

But will still sit with your legs open for him Hmm oh so strong.

CircleofWillis · 04/01/2018 23:43

It’s only a few hairs. I would shave them off if I were you.

And then post them to him with a note to let him know that’s the closest he’s getting to your moneypenny ever again so he should treasure it. I really can’t see what is in this relationship for you OP. Shaving aside he sounds like a lot of hard work.

SparklyMagpie · 04/01/2018 23:47

Ewww he's a prick but more fool you for taking him bag

Dump his hairy arse! You're going to be stronger without him

Eurgh the thought of going back near a man who made me feel like shit regardless of these comments, makes me feel sick

He finally admitted there are childhood issues he's never dealt with that have always had an effect like relying on different substances to cope, and has finally stopped taking anything and applied for counselling which I tried to get him to do for years. so I thought things might b different now hes straight but it looks like he's a dick whether he's off his head or not! so contrary to cbaanymore123 I WILL b strong enough to walk away whether I feel any sympathy for his issues or not. was treated badly for long enough and not doing it again🌞

A simple request
No, it's an attempt at controlling you.
I'm glad you're having nothing to do with it, OP.
