Midlife crisis?

Anonymous
My husband of 27 years had decided to do manscaping (I think that's what it's called?) and has been shaving his body hair off (chest, privates, etc.) for almost a year. I know it's his body, his choice, but I hate it. I feel like I'm having sex with a giant toddler, rather than my manly husband.

At first I thought this too shall pass, but for whatever reason he likes it. How to approach the conversation about how much I hate it, or, how to get used it it?

Re-reading I recognize this sounds stupid, but I'm really struggling here

“Your hairy body is really masculine and sexy. What’s up - Why are you shaving it?”

Are you worried he’s cheating?

Also how or why have you resisted saying anything/asking about it for a year?

Get use to it. It’s his body.
Not sure there is anything for you say.

His AP likes it that way.

Serious midlife manscaping always means an affair. Mine said he didn’t like the hair in his workout shirts, whatever. He always trimmed, etc, but when the midlife affair started it got obsessive. The manscaping notched up.

Yeah, suddenly back waxing in the middle of winter was a big sign.

When something gives you pause, you need to ask the question. "So why ARE you suddenly so into manscaping?" agree it's usually for an AP. ASK. Don't be an ostich.

Maybe he just wants to feel young, don’t jump to conclusions yall. I doubt that means he’s having an affair, and that wasn’t even the question

This. Tell him his hair is manly and turns you on if this does nothing something else is a miss.
