Dear Fire Hall,
You take my husband’s time, and I can share that with you.
You capture my husband’s interest, and I can share that too.
You divide my husband’s energy, priorities, finances, and obligations, and all this I am willing to share.
But now
(so that his air mask fits during this month of training)
you want to take his facial hair
and I am more upset about this than I can say.
You are a t-rd, and I am not signing off with love.
Shari
L. O. L!! I’ve never experienced this, but I can imagine my feelings if such an atrocity were imposed on my man. I’d be vexed too, sister!
Grinning! This too shall pass and it’ll grow back.
Oooops. I’m not being very sympathetic to your pain. I feel it.
Yes, it WILL grow back, but…..!! I remember a very vivid nightmare i had once, in which both my hubby and son shaved off their beards. I actually woke up in an agitated sweat! I had to look over to be sure hubby’s face was still fuzzy, and i checked my son first thing at breakfast!

However… i can see the point, but… sure, the mask will fit during training… (another) but… he’ll still be growing it out again, so what about later?
Ugh. I want to say ‘just do it’, but ohhhh….. that’ll be hard!
my deepest sympathy
