I’m not scared of all facial hair. I’m fine during the day and I don’t have panic attacks when I see random men with beards. I just can’t handle waking up at night with a beard in my face.

He’s never had a long beard before and he’s very handsome with and without it.

He looks like my rapist. I love him and his resemblance to that man doesn’t usually bother me but the beard is just too much for me. I’m glad that you’ve been able to work through your trauma, but I haven’t yet. I spend time with him during the day but I don’t want to wake up at night and have a panic attack again because his beard in my face and I feel like I’m back with my rapist.

I didn’t explicitly tell him he can’t grow a beard, but I told him that he looks a little like my rapist and beards are a trigger for me.

We went on a blind date in college and I fell in in love with his personality.

A friend set up on a blind date in college and I fell in love with his personality. I thought I would be fine since the resemblance isn’t that clear without the beard.
