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.

because he realizes how stupid it is, but if that's what he decides is a make or break, then that just means he's stupid, and he knows it.

Why are you and your family so invested in him remarrying? It's time to MYOB.

Is not wanting to date someone because they have stubble on their legs shallow. Sure! But, if it is a turnoff to him, it is a turnoff. If he likes her otherwise, he should say something. Maybe she would be willing to do laser hair removal.

He may not have come to terms with his own sexual preferences and/or this is his sensitivity. He should NOT ever tell her the reason because if she shaves for him, some other reason will pop up and they'll have prolonged the inevitable. Don't let this poor woman waste anymore time. He needs to sort his issues. Things that repulse you should have been discovered rather quickly but coming off winter and not having immediate intimacy may be the reason why he didn't realize this would be an issue. Don't shame him either.

Your brother has issues and you can't fix him.

Meh, he doesnt sound like that much of a catch. Already one failed marriage. If he's this weird and petty she's better off without him.

We find little things like that repulsive when we can’t stand the person anymore and can’t put our finger on why, or can put our finger on why but don’t want to say what it is.

People can break up with their partners for any reason whatsoever and it is no one else's business. She has given him the ick and there is no coming back from that,

Butt out! Stop telling him to marry people!

You like her better than he does. You’ve gotta back out.

Your entire family needs to MYOB. He has one failed marriage and two small kids. He is not the catch you think he is. She can do better. And should, stubbly legs and all.

Yep. He's insanely immature and you should butt out.

Why would you doom another woman to suffer your brother's insanity?

[Anonymous]

NP. He should gently suggest to her to wax her legs. Problem solved.

OMG tell her to get laser treatments.

And, if this is a deal breaker for him he is too shallow to be married.

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.

He needs therapy, she needs laser treatment and you need to stay the heck out of his love life.

Your brother is damaged goods. Let him end things; she can (and will) do better.
