Wife won't let me shave my chest...Help!

You know I don't see how this discussion is much different than if you asked the wife for a particular hair style. "But honey I love it when you have long hair!"

"Well forget it, its me that has to fix it every morning before work and I like to keep it short. It's my hair and I'm going to do what I want with it."

It's the same thing with chest hair, it's your body and you can do what you want with it. End of discussion.

It must just me, but my SO and I both find that body hair is a turn off. I am lucky enough to be of fair skin and blond hair, so what body hair I have does not show well, and where it does, zip goes the razor. I would say you should abide by your wife, because she has been with you through these 8 years.

How long have you been married? You don't know how to play "The Game!"

Here's what Ya' do.....Soften her up by telling her, "I've decided to shave my head, eyebrows, and my genitals, and get a snake tatoo for my face; just in time for The Annual Family Picnic and Reunion on Memorial Day!" She will of course, raise all kinds of Hell, scream bloody murder, and threaten you with bad consequences. Keep this up for a week, minimum! She will be mentally exhausted by next week, and obviously freakin' out.

AT THAT POINT, you invite her for a serious, sit-down, candid, conversation at The Kitchen Table. She will tell you "No Way" again, and be prepared for another exhausting episode. At EXACTLY this point, you "roll over" and declare your desire to see that she is happy, and that your marriage is not a failure. After she sighs with relief, and drops her Mental Guard.....that's when you politely mention as an aside, "Well, since I'm not going to shave my genitals, how about I JUST shave my chest?"

Trust me, if you do it right, it works every time. That's how my Buddy got The Corvette! (Such a "reasonable" compromise from his original idea of purchasing an old Caboose for The Front Yard." See, you just have to use Imagination!

Peace and Love, Joanie

I am also not "allowed" to shave any of the hair but the face. Since my wifey enjoys being with me when I am "me" I think I do not want to insist of shaving chest, arms , legs. It is true that it reduces my full experience but what's an impact against all the love that she provides. Whenever I have talked to her she agrees but is also sad. I am in so much love with her that I can't see her sad. Not removing my hair is a small price to pay for all the fun we have together.

Just my 2 cents ( or 50 paise ) or whatever ;))

That's such a nice sentiment Tina,Couldn't have put it any better,my wifes health isn't the best atm so she has had a few teary moments,breaks my heart when I see her cry.That's another reason why I never take her acceptance for granted,she does love my smoothness though :)
