Heard about this woman who fell out of love with her husband when she saw him barefaced (without his moustache) for the first time . According to her - he seemed like a stranger. During their eleven years of marriage, and before, she had never seen him without his well kept moustache -fortunately, her feelings gradually returned after he grew it back. Hard to imagine really - I mean, he is the same person she married . Obviously she was in love with his appearance - and his money. Would it upset you if your husband or long-time boyfriend shaved off his moustache? Do you think a moustache adds something to a man or detracts from his looks?

I think it is the same person no matter how they look on the outside. Feel bad for their marriage when he gets gray hair or gains some weight as they age. None of the outer appearance matters to me, I'm in love with my husband no matter how he looks.

You are right. What happens if he becomes overweight or some unexpected occurrence takes away his looks? Outward appearance is important yes - but it should never be the main attraction in any relationship.

@Kandae11 After 11 years of marriage she should be over the looks aspect really. It's not like they are just starting out. My husband has part of a finger missing, he's gained 75 pounds since we married, he has some gray hair and I am more in love with him now than ever before.

Jay had a mustache before I married him. After we were together a while, he shaved it off and looked totally different. Of course, I didn't stop loving him, it was still Jay, except the mustache was gone!

@Kandae11 Then, he grew it back, which was no big deal:)

I remember a time when my husband tried to grow a moustache. I laughed at him, he looked so funny. He had fun with it during a vacation and then shaved it off.

You met him and loved him before the moustache - something new or different can be a shock at first.

@Kandae11 I loved my husband´s generosity, among other things. That does not change.

Hmm, not sure, but I have had mustache for many years. I shaved it once (before Anne) many years ago, and the space between my nose and upper lip looked like about five acres. My then small daughter did not like the look at all. I looked in the mirror a few times and started growing it back.

Mine shaved his a month before we decided to get a divorce, but that wasn't why we divorced. It did take some getting used to seeing him without one when he vowed never to shave it off, and I had never, not even before we were married, seen him without it.

@Kandae11 With. No, that wasn't his hope. He was getting ready for a changed lifestyle.

Maybe he hoped that a change would result in an improved relationship . Do you think he looked better with or without?

I always like it when the boyfriend shaved his head and his mustache. I mean only the appearance changed but not the person exactly. It's weird why the woman fell out of love just like that.

I wouldn't know how to answer that but if that woman felt that way, I wouldn't go straight to judging her. It's natural that she'd feel her husband seemed to be a stranger when she wasn't even used to seeing him without his mustache even before they married and there's a possibility that she had a strict code embedded within her subconsciousness that she can't love anyone but the man she married. She eventually fell back in love with him after the husband grew back his mustache, right? Then I guess her subconscious had recognized her husband in the man.

The relationship was very strained after he grew it back - things were not exactly the same as before,

That is superficial love and doesn't seem like genuine love for her spouse.

It depends, some men can look handsome with a beard or mustache, but some can look awful. I do prefer a clean shaven face though.

My husband had a moustache when I met him and kept it for 25 years. I used to have nightmares of how he'd look without it. Once it was gone, I thought he looked much better and younger. Personally, I prefer clean shaven, but love how my two sons look with the new hair on face look.

Your nightmares didn't materialise - great. Since you met him with the moustache it is understandable your apprehension about how he would look if he decided to shave it off.

Is it the look that made the woman change her feelings or something more than that Well, we cannot deny some really change the look when mustache and beard is gone, so maybe the man can do it slowly and not drastically.

A mustache does not change anything. May be a hairy beard would change ones looks.

A moustache depending on how large it is covers the top part of the upper lip - it would make a difference when removed.

It would be easier if you knew him before he had it.
