Your idea about using the facial hair and possible "parting of ways with it" was interesting, especially since I've already kind of tried it. I stopped shaving the day we left on vacation. We went out for dinner without the kids on Thursday night, after six days' growth. I said, before our date, "hey, if I shave this off, how about some more kisses?" She replied, "well, no promises." And it's good that no promises were made. I shaved it off, and only had the usual good night kisses and maybe a good morning kiss or two after that.
It reminds me of when I quit smoking. She hated the smell of it on my breath, and she said, specifically, that if I quit, she would likely kiss me more. So I quit. Did she kiss me more? Probably....it went from every few days to maybe once a day.
Now, I realize that quitting smoking was a good thing for many reasons, most of which relate to my health, to the example I set for my kids, to my finances, but the main reason for me, as an HD male, that finally made me quit was the hope that I would get more kisses from my wife.
So she's played that card before and I fell for it then. I will shave it off if and when I decide to based on what I want for Hairdog.
