So I know we all worry about what our partners will think about our facial hair, so I wanted to share something that happened over vacation that I thought was touching. My mother has never been dx'd with PCOS like me, but she does have some facial hair...nowhere near as bad as mine, but it is noticeable if she doesn't shave it. Well, we were together over the Christmas break, and she was having problems seeing well enough to shave off her whiskers. So my father borrowed my razor that I got for Christmas, sat her down on a stool, and shaved them off for her. It was quite touching that they were so comfortable together that they could do that. I just started seeing a new guy and I haven't told him about this symptom yet...I'm just hoping that his response will be like Dad's.
I hope everyone's holidays were nice and relaxing. :-)

That is so sweet. I am real comfortable with my dh, and he accepts me like I am and I am sure he would do the same for me if I needed him too. It is nice to find someone who accepts you for who you are and loves you unconditionally. I wish you luck and hope when you share this with your bf he too will accept you like you are and for who you are.

That's really sweet. I hope I find a guy like that. My mom has some facial hair (not much) and my dad looks on whenever she plucks it and says nothing, doesn't look disgusted or anything. I think there are a lot of understanding men out there, it's just that you need to go searching for them or they will find you. My facial hair is bad and i so shave it but i still get catcalls when I walk in the street and just recently I guy aproached me and asked me for my number and I'm pretty sure he noticed the condition of my chin.
There are guys out there waiting. I'm just hoping I find a kind one and I hope yours will accept you fully. We're normal human beings so we deserved to be loved too!
My husband showed me how to shave so that my face is soft, ( although we cant figure our how to stop me from breaking out... ) In addition we keep a pair of tweezers in the car and we figure in the sunlight if he can see them then so can other people so he will point them out so that we can pluck quick before we get to our destination....

They are out there and I've got one! Moustache, hairy body and flat chest -- and yet he still loved me and loves me. And that makes my love for him all the more intense.
I can't be a "trophy wife" -- but I can be and am a wife who gives him more love than any trophy wife ever would.

When the problem is shared with out dh it becomes a bond between us -- something that unites us even more closely than if it hadn't been there in the first place.
I had a female patient who had some whiskers on her chin...she had a stroke, and was unable to care for herself. Her husband came in to see her daily, and often helped with her care. One morning, while bathing her, he shaved her chin, and told the nurse, "I never knew she had any hair on her chin." This poor elderly lady had hidden this from her husband all those years... she was probably in her 70's. We all felt so bad that she had taken so much care to never let her husband know about her "problem" -- and he had to discover it on his own. But you know, he didn't love her any less.

Those are all very touching stories. My DH knows about my problem because I told him. He said he never noticed it before, although I find that hard to believe. Anyway, he was very supportive of me and said that it didn't bother him. However, its a subject that I don't bring up and just keep quiet about, but I no longer obsessively worry about taking care of my hair problem before he sees me in the morning, esp. if I'm sick or something. He knows about it and accepts it, but we just don't talk about it, I guess because I'm very uncomfortable about it.
