Guys' grooming for FSUW - to shave armpits or not?

[Darth_Budda]

I am not sure men should shave....

Just sounds strange....

That is my view from Upstate New York..

Hey Communist, where in Upstate NY are you? I ask because there are some New Yorkers that think Yonkers is Upstate NY.

My wife asked me to shave...so I did, no biggie. But the thought of a sharp object going over the tea bag kinda scares me...but I did

Don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.  I was only asked about it once.  MY comment was "When you get a new set of boobs, I will consider shaving my armpits or anything else you want".  Her response was "No way".  It was meant in jest.  It really is not that important.  I might surprise her one day and shave to see what her response is.

Once you are married for a couple years you learn how to tease each other without it blowing up into something serious.  As I age and become more tolerant, I learned to not make an issue of anything that is not worth falling on my sword over.  She will win this issue, but by the same token she will have a little seed implanted about my fantasies as well.

I have found the most wonderful woman I have ever met in my life. I am not about to screw it up over any trivial matter that she feels is important to her.  By the same token, I am not about to let her turn me into a robot either.   Single life was not that bad prior to taking on the responsibilities of a new wife with child.

The one large difference I see between my wife and local women, is that she thinks about our discussions, and within 24 hours she either sees it my way, or has a rational argument to try to influence my point of view. It does not get much better than this!

My worse experience with former wive(s), is when a discussion ends in "Just Because" rather than a rational thought process.  I have to give her credit for engaging 'critical thinking' in her analysis of issues rather than illogical positions.

I hope others in a similar situation do not dig their heels in and mess up what would otherwise be the dream that they had when they pursued a FSUW for a lifetime partner.

Being flexible and at least considering options is best.
Do what works for you or you can stay in your cave,
thell the wifey your new nick name is Chabaka
