Today, I realized that my boyfriend really does have a problem with my upper-lip hair. I woke up this morning to him ripping a wax strip off of my face. All he could say after I stopped shrieking was that he had hoped it wouldn't wake me up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I waxed my upper lip hair. My boyfriend later told me that he missed my mustache rubbing onto his. FML
Today, I woke up with a wax strip on my chest and my girlfriend sitting next to me on the bed laughing. She pulled the strip. I screamed. FML
Today, I decided to use an at-home waxing kit for the first time to get rid of the hair on my upper lip. After experiencing the trauma of waxing, I fell asleep. A few hours later, I woke up to see that I now have acne everywhere I had waxed. I have an acne mustache. FML
Today, while making out, my clean-shaven husband pulled away because he could feel my lip hairs tickling him. I thought he was making a joke so I called him a tosser and walked away. Later I checked in the mirror and there they were, two black hairs swinging in the breeze right under my nose. FML
Today, my boyfriend started affectionately calling me "Burt Reynolds" because I wax my upper lip. FML
Today, me and my boyfriend were telling each other secrets, so I told him I shaved my upper lip. He said, "I know, it's prickly when we make out." FML
Today, I woke up to my boyfriend trying to pick my nose. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I don't like his facial hair and that he should shave it off. He replied, "You first." FML
Today, my boyfriend was playing with my hair, when his hand got caught. He ended up ripping out a handful of hair trying to get it free. FML
Today, I was about to go and take a shower when I saw a pair of scissors taped to the door at eye level with a note from my boyfriend saying "Time to trim that hairy thang down under." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wax his eyebrows off while he's sleeping!

20 - You know what? No, **** that. A girl doesn't have to shave, wax, whatever if she doesn't ******* want to. I don't care who you are, as long as you keep yourself clean, you should never be made to feel bad for having a little facial hair, leg hair, hair wherever. If you find yourself not attracted to such a person, then fine, but don't you DARE try to force your opinion onto someone else like that. That is such an inexcusable invasion of personal space, seriously.

Every woman has upper lip hair... just some are darker then others. Your boyfriend is a moron if he can't love you no matter what you look like. FYL

That sounds like the sort of excuse the morbidly obese use for being single. Personal grooming and hygeine is a reflection of ones personality traits, people don't lose lovers because of how they look, but rather the attitudes and (in)actions that led them to that state.

35 - Nice try, but being obese and having some HAIR on your upper lip is completely different. Obesity is unhealthy for anyone, while facial hair is socially acceptable for men but deemed "gross" and "ugly" on women. Also, ******* bullshit about shaving having anything to do with hygiene. That's like saying any guy who has a mustache is dirty.

Shaving isn't hygeine, you missed the point. Hygeine and grooming are seperate but equal factors to ones appearance. Neglecting either is a sign that a person cares little for themselves and less for their mate. That's why it's such a turnoff.

Yes, but women are expected to do much much more "grooming" than men are. Shaving/Hair is just one example: Men are generally expected to keep their hair neat and to shave their beards, whereas women are expected to remove every piece of hair that does not sit on top of their heads, in addition to keeping that hair perfectly coiffed. If women have facial hair/pubic hair/whatever, they are called "ugly", "dirty", "lazy", "unhygienic" and other similar things, but men are not.

Yup, it is FAR from fair, but it is the societal norm that people have been comditioned to respond to. Sure, you can get past it, but not with everyone.

Some girls make their boyfriends shave too. It's not only girls that have to shave everything. And also if a guy has a beard, they are considered scruffy looking. Which for lack of a better term, means bummy. Women are not the only ones characterized by body hair.

I have the same issue. I fail to understand how people can blindly maintain that "love" should forgive every poor choice, abusive action and unilateral decision they make. True love is a wonderful thing, but it is a balance between partners, not an indestructible rope binding another person to you.

If he had an issue with it then he should have said something to you, not take matters into his own hands. Especially since it's your body. He could've really hurt you if he didn't know what he was doing.

True I'm surprised he didn't accidentally do what my mom did to me once and rip off some of the skin from her lip. Which hurts like ass btw.

13- not that I justify him doing that, but I'm assuming the boyfriend has mentioned the facial hair thing, because she wrote "I realized that my boyfriend REALLY has a problem with my upper lip"... I dunno, to me it sounds like she confirmed the doubt...

I don't know what's worse. The fact that he doesn't like you as is or the fact that he thought ripping your upper lip hair off wouldn't wake you up.

That should probably give you a hint that you should do it yourself.

Gross, you should be waxing your upper lip hair anyways.

21- She shouldn't have to if she doesn't want to do it.
onorexveritas 24
you're over exaggerating. it doesn't hurt to get waxed
day624 14
I'm sure since she was sleeping and was awoken by hot wax being ripped off her face, that it not only hurt like hell but freaked her out... Where is the exaggeration in her statement exactly?

Wtf are you talking about. It does hurt. I once waxed everything - and I mean everything - for my ex. It was god awful. And don't even get me started on the ingrown hairs.

Who would be attractive to a mustache? It's called grooming and maintaining yourself. He's an asshole for doing that without your permission, however you should still keep up with yourself.

I love how they keep deleting my comments. Even my correction. How ******* bias.

Geez I don't think she posted this for her self confidence to be destroyed! A lot of girls get hair on their face and unless you're one of them you have no idea how humiliating and how much of a burden it is, I'm sure if she said he waxed her eyebrows you would have supported her but because it's her upper lip you decide to be disrespectful and tease her, that's very sad, go get a life!

Whole eyebrows or just the unibrow section in the middle? We may be rude, but we do have standards.

What is this, a school-yard sand pit? Grow the hell up, Drifter.

I agree.

I'm sorry, it was meant as a joke but I see that this subject touches some VERY sensitive nerves, so I'll endeavour to keep personal grooming jokes to myselff.

Wax his pubes and say, "Oh, didn't think you'd feel that." Then dump his ass. Good luck, OP!
