My wife is starting to develop a slight mustache, how do I tell her this?

Question

In a nice way, without her getting angry. . . .

Answer 1

Tell her that you love her first, but baby could I shave that mustache for you. She'll may not know if to laugh or to cry but make sure you take care of her and reassure that it is quite all right for his wife to have a mustache. Basically just reassure her after you tell her. Sounds like your a great guy for even asking how to do this. Take care every thing should be OK

Answer 2

I'm Italian, so I too slightly suffer from the same condition as your wife. If it bothered her, I am sure she would have done something about it on her own, but if it bother you enough to bring it to her attention, just begin with "Honey, I love you dearly and I debated on bringing this up, but have you noticed that your starting to develop a slight mustache?" Also, let her know that you are absolutely in no way trying to upset her you just thought that if the roles were reversed, you would want to know and you are just thinking of her because you love her dearly. Also, just incase do this when there aren't any sharp objects around, she isn't about to start her period and has not had a stressfull day. You may help this process along by folding a load of laundry or empting the dishwasher, etc... good luck! Oh, you can also suggest later depending on how she takes your observation, that if it's a slight mustache that a bleaching cream will most likely be a better choice than waxing. IF you are just being kind and she is starting to remind you of Ned Flanders then buy her a gift certificate to a spa for a wash, set and wax. or even a bonus massage!

Answer 3

Im sure she knows its there. Maybe she doesnt think its that noticeable or else doesnt really know what to do about it. The salon thing some have mentioned is good. If thats not an option, then maybe the next time the two of you are at the store, just fixate yourself on the waxin and bleachin aisle. Give it a week after that and i bet she will fix it without a big drama. good-luck.

Answer 4

Most women tend to be very self-conscious about their appearances and pleasing other people is usually a priority. Be VERY very careful how you go about this. You could really hurt her feelings and make her feel unattractive. I agree with the salon suggestion. Go to a nice salon, buy her a gift certificate for a full service package... hair, color, wax, pedicure. It will be expensive, most likely. Tell the salon people that you don't want to point out your wife's facial hair, so if they could suggest a lip wax? A present and treat to a salon is so much better than a "you need to fix this because I notice an imperfection."

Also, sometimes you should ask your wife if there is anything you can do to make yourself more sexy or appealing to her. Be very careful about her feelings. Very careful. You don't want to make her feel unsexy!!

Answer 5

You don't have to tell her, it's on her lip, I'm sure she knows about it. What you really mean is how do you tell her it bothers you without hurting her feelings or making her mad. Good luck. Is there a nice way to criticize your wife? What if she starts pointing out your shortcomings? My only suggestion is to tell her you don't want to hurt her feelings or make her angry, but the extra hair on her lip bothers you. Suggest paying for a day at the salon to have it taken off by electrolysis along with full pampering for a day.

Answer 6

Just be straight forward with her, personally.... I think she might of noticed, but just incase she hasn't yet... either tell her or just wait until she notices. From my point of view, it is better to just tell the truth even though she might be mad with you... it is better then keeping it from her and letting it grow... either way she might get mad because if you let it grow then she might realize that you knew all along and didnt tell her. So, if you think other people will notice and she might get embarrased if someone else tells her or she notices.... just be upfront and tell her. Just don't be too harsh about it, you are just informing her of something you noticed. Like some people say..... a friend would probably tell you that you fine where as a best friend would tell you if there is something wrong. So just be a good husband and tell her the truth..... if she gets mad, eventually she will realize you were just helping her out.

Answer 7

Buy her a spa certificate for a face waxing (eyebrows and upper lip). Always use the term upper lip, never mustache. Oh, and enclose the gift certificate in a sweet card telling her how beautiful she is to you. Put the card in a dozen roses.
Hope this helps,

P.S. Wear an athletic cup, you know just in case.....

Answer 8

It could be a hormonal thing - sometimes woman can have a little more testosterone than they should. However, to treat the problem you could always book a facial or something for her - beauty therapists will tell you when something needs to be fixed - and I am speaking from experience! You could even discuss with them the little moustache problem and maybe they could discretly add it to the facial.

Answer 9

There's really no nice way of saying it. Most women would get really offended by that. If she hasn't noticed it by now she will soon, and will probably do something about it, whether to bleach the hairs or wax or whatever

Answer 10

Tell her? No, no... bad move. Just wait til she goes to sleep and shave that sucka off! LOL
You can give her a "treat" and take her to a spa... they will address that issue for her. They are REAL good about saying "and we need to wax that lip"... you know who else is good about that too? The nail shop people. Tell her you wanna treat her and get her nails done and eyebrows waxed... them women will call you out in a minute.
