What is with guys and their hair?

Ok ladies I know all of your men do this too so let's complain about it together. Raise your hand if you hate when your man grows a mustache just because all of the other guys are doing it? My hand is touching the ceiling right now.

I HATE IT! Before the military my husband had a beard almost all of the time. I put up with it because it's his face but I really couldn't stand kissing it. The marine corps is nice because they ALMOST always have to be clean shaved. Key word almost. Whenever my husband's posse goes somewhere like Yuma or now 29 Palms they grow mustaches for the occasion. Why? I have no friggin clue. The point with Yuma was to grow mustaches the entire time they were there. That lasted about 2 weeks and then they all shaved them off one by one. I dealt with that because he didn't start growing it until he got there and he shaved it off before he got home.

I do admit I wanted him to come home without shaving it because I've never seen him with a stache before but it's not like I cried when he didn't. Today, my husband comes home and kisses me hello and I get pricked by his upper lip. I tell him he missed some hairs and his response? "No I didn't." GREAT!! He doesn't leave for Cali for a week. A WEEK!!! My husband grows facial hair like Paul Bunyan. He will have a full mustache by Monday.

So my question is why is it that they can grow these ridiculous mustaches for these "friends" but when the wives say shave it they say no? I put quotes around friends because my husband told me the other day that he hated all but one guy going with him to Cali. So really, he is growing a mustache for a bunch of people he doesn't like but he won't shave it for me.

Well maybe I will just stop shaving as well. I'll make a fancy name for it and all that too so it sounds cool. Or I'll get those stick on mustaches and trim it down a little so it's prickly and wear it whenever he's around me. That could work.

Stupid facial hair. I despise you.

  1. When Brandon went to Brideport for 2 weeks, he grew the 'stache out. He came home with it and I was like...."Whattt is this?" He says they call it the "Battle Stache". And he wanted to keep it until his next drill (like 3 weeks later!) to see if he could beat his other friend. A contest like whose fiance would get it to come off the fastest. lol. But he ended up shaving it after 2 weeks because I pretty much complained about it all the time. :) I don't like kissing the prickles either! I did the same thing though, I told him I wouldn't shave until he did! lol He didn't like that very much. haha

  3. I wish I knew!! Every time my boyfriend has a little bit of time off from doing Army stuff, he doesn't shave his head or his face!! I like him bald but I hate facial hair!!! I'll admit, I have one picture where he looks pretty sexy, but I prefer a smooth face. It's just one of the reasons I like guys in the military. They are forced to have a clean shaven face and a presentable haircut. :)

  4. My husband used to do the same exact thing when he was in the Corps. I withheld sex until he shaved the 'stache {tmi?} He stopped doing it pretty quickly!! haha

  5. My husband doesn't really grow facial hair... so I don't have this issue, I know a couple of guys that do though and their wives are the same way as you =)

  6. Hahaha. I'm so glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this! My hubby knows I hate it so he lets it grow on the weekend and rubs it on me.. my forehead, arm, shoulder, pretty much anywhere he can to annoy me. He doesn't realize it hurts, too! Men are butts.
