I just asked my S.O. about my facial hair last week. Mind that we've
been together for four years now, but he really doesn't seem to notice.
I even went to a laser place, and they told me that my hair was probably
too light to treat. Amazing how our self preception is always FAR worse
than what people actually see in us.
As for my sweetie's suppot during my recent diagnosis - he is being
wonderfully supportive. I've told him I'm going off all chemical birth
control (I don't want kids yet, but I certainly want to be able to have
them later), and he's even supportive of that.
