    Was it a post I read from you a few weeks ago that said something about you going through divorce proceedings or something like that? Are you back together, or have you remarried?
    And you always try to make the wifey happy. Having an untrimmed beard is not worth arguing over.

    It's your hair and your decision.

    I personally love beards and/or beards with mustaches, but I like them VERY neatly trimmed short. That is what my husband has.

    Love all beards. But mine just trimmed his up and I am happy with it. It was getting so long I was getting leftover beverages from it.

    I'm all for beards... as long as they don't crawl up your cheeks and down past your jawline.

    Does your wife trim her facial hair?

    Hell no. What do you think we are, savages?

    I have had my current beard for 8 months and I am shocked by the number of ladies that have commented on how much they like mine. I usually keep mine well-trimmed but let the chin get a little long. I was all set to shave mine just because I was ready for a change, so as a motivation I told my U-12 soccer team which I coach that if they won their game this past weekend I’d shave it off. Well they lost and now I have to keep it.
    If you like it keep it, she’ll get use to it.

    Never even close to a divorce. You may be thinking of my humorous, sarcastic post about her not liking Led Zeppelin being grounds for divorce.

    You should keep it if you want it - don't compromise!

    While I happen to like a beard on a guy, I agree that it could be trimmed and shaped a little. You can keep the length, but your wife may like it better it was shaped a little more. Just my suggestion.

    Go home, tell her you are keeping the beard as it is. When she gets mad, follow this advice:

    I never understood the concept of shaving everyday... the face wants what the face wants... A BEARD!

    That's her complaint.....hobo scruff is her term for my facial hair status. She's never known me without a beard, and says I look lame without one in my pre-wife pictures......

    keep your beard. Definitely keep your beard.

    My husband and I occasionally fight over this. I want him to grow his beard back. He wants to keep his job.

    I love beards (I married my husband 14 years ago for his beard... okay, not really, but it was one of the first things that drew me to him). I've also threatened divorce if he were to ever shave it off. I think it really does depend on who the beard is on, though. Some dudes just don't look right with a beard and some look awful without one.

    Personally, I prefer how you have it in your current profile pic - short beard/slightly grown out goatee. My hubs mostly goes for the clean shaven look but once in a while he'll grow a goatee for me because he knows I love the way it makes him look. He tried to grow out a beard a few years ago but it drove him crazy after a month or so - he says it gets too itchy. The only facial hair he tries to pull off that I'm not crazy about is the mustache only. Thankfully our friend's daughter shamed him into shaving it off by calling it a porn 'stache and saying he looked creepy. LOL!

    I think all men should have beards. And not the trimmed kind, but the duck dynasty kind....

    Funny thing about the profile picture. She didn't like that either. I had no sideburns what-so-ever there, and the beard parts just came to a point on either side my my jaw. She claimed they were "devil points" :laugh: Hair is a constant tug-o-war in our house...I like her hair long, she likes it short, I like her......well, best just leave it there.

    A moment of silence for your loss, my friend.

    This. I don't mind it if it's short and clean looking.

    Eta: Some guys don't enough facial hair to have a beard so they let the beard hairs that DO grow get all all crazy long and freaky. It's like a comb over for their face. Or they try to do an epic shave on their very overweight face to try and draw themselves a jawline, overweight is fine... the fake jawline is NOT. Yuck.
