My successful and charming brother met an amazing woman but said he's breaking up with her because

Anonymous
My brother is divorced, two adorable kids, zero ex drama. He makes great money and is quite handsome. Since last summer he's been dating an amazing woman who is 33, gorgeous, great career, no kids, never married. We have all told him to marry her. So when he told me he was distancing himself from her we were all shocked. And he was evasive about why. Finally he confesses to me her leg hair apparently grows back super fast and it is prickly at night. He said it drives him insane when they sleep in the same bed. As in, it is repulsive. It's been decades since I've dated, but that is not a valid reason to break up with an otherwise amazing person, right? I don't know what to say to talk some sense into him.

Don't talk any sense into him. This is the reason he's latched onto for whatever reason, but obviously there are other major issues. It's best for everyone for him to end things now.

I really don't think he understands what a rare find she is. He got so lucky meeting someone who checks all the boxes shortly after his divorce finalized.

+1. He's already been in one failed marriage. Why do you think another would be successful?

Not your business. Better for them to break up now than for him to be unhappy and her to be with someone repulsed by her body.

Agree. If your brother truly loved her, then like hair, would not bother him. As for whatever reason when people have all those hormones and are in love, things that would bother them with another person don't bother them when it's the one you love. And when you don't love someone, even the most innocuous thing can be an excuse to break up. If he loved her he would ask her to shave, and she would more than likely shave. So that's just an excuse.if it wasn't the leg here, it would be something else. He's smart to just let her go and keep looking.

This can't be the real issue. I wonder if she shaves a lot of places and it's all prickly at night. Better to have hair there than stubble.

Can he ask that she shave every night? I know of women who have asked DHs to do that if they have a heavy beard.

Why try to change his mind?. He's extremely immature not a catch and she and other women are better off without him

Trolls enjoy response. Even a response like this is encouraging to them. If you believe a poster is a troll, the easiest thing to do is to skip the thread. The best thing to do is report the post so that I can check on it. In many cases, such as this one, I have no reason to determine either way. But, if the thread is legitimate, posts such as this are simply disruptive and, dare I say, trollish.

Bottom line, you are either engaging a troll to the troll's delight or you are disrupting a legitimate thread. So please don't post such things.

He’s probably just gay and prefers bears that are always hairy.

He doesn’t sound charming or amazing. He is divorced for a reason!

I started this thread. I think asking any woman to shave twice a day is out of line. Plus she has a has a busy career. I think he just needs to get over a little stubble on her legs at 11 o'clock at night. It's inconsequential.

The entire family since Thanksgiving has been telling him to marry her! They are great together. Everyone loves her. She's gorgeous, she's sweet, she's ambitious. And he wasn't ridiculing her for this trivial issue, he didn't even want to disclose it. He is clearly embarrassed it bothers him so much.
