My bf shamed me over having my hair removed

He recently asked me how l'm always completely hairless. I told him honestly that I did full body laser hair removal for nearly two years. I got this done when I was 15 to 17. He got weird and literally called me a 'sl*t' for it. I was shocked and I'm not sure how to feel or if I should be hearing him out on this? It felt really disrespectful. What even is this?

... Read moreNavigating the dating world comes with its own set of challenges, especially when personal choices are put under scrutiny. It's not uncommon for partners to have varying opinions on beauty standards and grooming practices. In this instance, body hair removal can be a deeply personal decision informed by cultural, social, or personal beliefs. The backlash from a partner may highlight a lack of understanding or respect for individual choices. It's crucial to communicate openly about such sensitive topics to build a healthy relationship. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, consider discussing your journey with hair removal openly. Explain the reasons behind your decision, whether it's for personal comfort, societal influences, or simply a preference. Healthy relationships thrive on respect, communication, and understanding, even when opinions differ. Remember, no one should feel ashamed of their choices regarding their body, and it's always important to set boundaries and expectations in a relationship. If behavior is disrespectful, it's essential to evaluate the dynamics and decide if the relationship aligns with your values.

I honestly didn’t think this would ever become a huge issue, but here we are. My boyfriend hasn’t used shampoo in two years, only rinsing his hair twice a week with apple cider vinegar because he read somewhere it might help with hair loss. I get wanting to try natural remedies, but the problem is…

This is one of the alternatives to shaving. I know waxing isn’t always favored so if you aren’t into that try a hair removal spray. It foams up and you can literally just wipe it off. When I use a body glove I yield better results. -This one doesn’t smell like much of anything -It does

#GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #bodyshape #bodyhair #bodycare It took me years to realize body hair doesn’t make you unclean — it makes you human. I still shave, but it’s my choice now, not society’s. Why do we still treat women’s body hair like a crime scene? 👀
