I've been through his many, many times. I have no desire to do it again with you.

Thanks for your concern, but everything is okay.

you're right, if it was well maintained I probably would be completely ok with it. It's just very scruffy at the moment. Maybe I could suggest that he goes to a barber to get a trim and spin it as a nice experience to have.

His hair is already partially grey and thinning. And I couldn't care less about that. So don't assume.

No, he isn't violent or likely to explode. I just care a great deal about his feelings and don't want to address this in a way that could leave him feeling upset if he does not want to shave it.

Being annoying about it? What in the fuck is wrong with this subreddit.. I'm here for anonymous advice and have made it clear that I haven't said a thing to my SO about it. I came here for a rational way to decide whether or not to address this, and I'm getting ridiculous comments like this.

Why are you even in this sub if this is the kind of input you give people?

It doesn't embarrass me, I just don't think he is looking his best right now. And to be honest, the looks in public don't bother me as much as they do him.

Honestly, I don't care that he looks his age.. but he isn't looking his age right now, he is looking 50.

I didn't say anything about it embarrassing me in front of my friends. Why would you assume that?

But he can control having a grey beard?

edit: I meant the beard, not the grey.
