I began this month as a participant of the great male tradition No Shave November. My beard was full and glorious, but my office had opted to go the Movember route and grow out mustaches. A few days ago I decided to be a team player and shave the beard but leave the mustache. As the discussion title states, my girlfriend HATES it. She actually refuses to look at me and says she has began having recurring nightmares of mustaches attacking her. I've never seen such severe mustachephobia. I can't continue to put up with her complaining, but on the flip side, I can't give up on Movember! What do I do?!

Fortunately God built the solution into your face: a full beard!

But hordes of puppies will be burned allive if you don't complete Movember

Good rule to follow in life:
Decide and do, and don’t change course just to please a women.
Then there is a compromise: I will let you shave off my mustache if I can Ahh Hemmm shave something on you.

Permalink Reply by Arthur on November 21, 2012 at 8:10am No I like to braid her back hair; I was thinking more the back of her hands.

Interesting behavior.
Permalink Reply by AdamR on November 21, 2012 at 12:09pm Yeah I am with everyone else. Shave it off. Your relationship is more important than a mustache and it will show that you care about her. Second, you might find out why she is so appalled by mustaches in general. I wouldn't be surprised if she had some bad experiences as a child by a man with a mustache. Anyway, I find that my wife is more willing to kiss me when she doesn't have hair poking at her.
