No, I don’t have any. Thanks for asking. Except eye brows, but most people have those. This post is about my feelings on the subject.
When my hubby and I were dating, he had an adorable little goatee. He kept it well-trimmed and symmetrical. It looked good on him. I liked it.
We get married and he decides to try to grow a beard. I say try because just like a prepubescent boy, he has some places on his face where hair won’t grow. No matter how much hell I gave him he just kept letting it grow. The places that it grew got long and scraggly and truly looked like face pubes. And still the bare spots were there. Don’t get me started on his unrequited desire for a mustache.
My hubby is 28, you think he would have grown out of his facial hair obsession, but it seems that the not being able to grow a beard thing just made him want it more. Kinda like how girls with straight hair really want curls and vice versa.
In the middle of all of this face hair debate, he decides to subdue me by shaving some of it up and he walked around with these big Wolverine style lamb chop sideburns for a while. They were so truly horrid. I laughed my ass off in between fits of embarrassment for him.
Then, he lets it grow again. The beard, I mean. I finally ask him the other day if he is going to trim it up because he has gotten into the habit of twirling the long goatee part, yes like some kind of villain. Except he doesn’t do it into one big twist, oh no, he does it into three little twists. I ask him about his behavior, call me oddly fascinated. He tells me he likes it that way because that is how Mr. Echo on Lost wore his and he cuts one little twist off after killing someone as a sign of penance. Should I worry about this rational? Or just except it as yet another one of my love’s quirks? I except it. Goodness knows I have as many or more quirks, it’s wonderful to meet your match. Facial hair or no.
Anyway, I thought up this subject after seeing this picture on sheCHIVE.com

I can truly say this is one thing my hubby hasn’t tried. Of course, now that he sees how ‘cool’ it looks, he probably will. Oh God, what have I done?
