I highly doubt not shaving your legs will allow her time to accept you. Waffling back and forth will only cause more grief and confusion. It is honorable you are giving up what you say is a major part of you to compromise, however I think you will find it difficult and cause you much pain and discomfort. As Jorja said do not make promises you can not keep. I cannot emphasize that advice enough. If my wife were to give me ultimatums when and how often I could shave or what I could shave, One of us would be on the way out. You can sugarcoat it all you want but control like that is no way to live in a marriage, unless that is the arrangement you desire.
