| I don’t think I can take this much longer. DH decided he was going to cease shaving during Covid. He does not keep his mustache or beard trimmed and it is coming in with blotchy patches of grey curlies. The real problem is that he is constantly walking around with food lodged in his facial hair. This morning it’s a piece of breakfast sausage and some scrambled eggs with ketchup. It is disgusting. Especially when he wants to get intimate and start kissing me. Any ideas on how to get him go back to his clean cut ways? |

| Um, ask him to please shave? |

| My husband started growing a beard early on and I hated it especially when we were having sex and he would rub certain body parts almost raw. I finally told him he could have the beard or me but not both so he walked out of the room and minutes later he came back clean shaven and he’s been that way since. He doesn’t shave every day but that’s ok because we don’t have sex every day. |

| Beards are yucky. I see a good amount of younger men with them these days. Hope it’s not becoming a trend. Yuck. |

| Tell him you find the beard repulsive. |

That will hurt his stupid ego and feelings. |

You must be old. I've always had success dating younger, but even more since growing a beard. Current GF is 23. |

And he should tell his DW that she gained weight during Covid. |

| I’ve been experimenting with the stubble beard look, but haven’t quite decided what the best length is though. It’s definitely not long enough to catch food. |

| I like beards (I am old enough to like hairy men), BUT I had heard the recommendation that being clean shaven may provide less traction for the corona virus to take hold. At the very least it seems like it would be hot under a mask. I am trying to encourage my college age son not to wear a beard for that reason. |

| So gross! My grandma, long, long ago, cut my grandpa's mustache when he was sleeping. She only got to one side, but mad as he was, he had to shave the other side in the morning. |

I am the OP of this thread:
https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/873707.page I'm happy to report that he finally got bored with the beard and shaved. |

| You need to tell him that and frankly if it grosses you out to kiss him, you absolutely have the right not to kiss him. That should make him shave pretty quick. |

+1. Applies to all things you find gross. Pot belly, belching, farting, smelly socks, clothes dropped on the floor, bad breath, and so on. |
