She’s Upset That Her Boyfriend Doesn’t Like Her Decision Not to Shave

This definitely seems like a self-created problem that comes from a sense of entitlement:

My boyfriend and I haven’t been dating too long (like we haven’t even had full sex yet), and I know a lot of people on reddit like to cut to the chase and say “break up with him!!” But I don’t want to just break up with every single guy who has a flaw that bothers me, Id rather work this out first before even considering saying “hey I want to break up because you don’t like my body hair”.

I usually don’t shave my legs unless it’s summer, it’s winter now so it’s not like I’m wearing dresses or shorts anyways, so I obviously have leg hair, and I don’t know if it’s because of my ethnic background or not (jewish- Russian- Ukrainian- that sorta area), but my hair is dark and it makes it look like I have more leg hair than I actually do. I showed my boyfriend my leg hair and the first thing he said was “it’s so hairy- like a man.” Which hurts my feelings because, I’m a woman, so it’s not hairy like a man, it’s hairy like a woman. He asked if I shave and I said “yeah usually in the summer. But I don’t like shaving my legs, it takes so much time.” And he said “well you’ll shave around me right?” And I was like “I don’t know maybe. If I feel like it.”

Today I decided to stop shaving. I felt inspired by French women (I know a lot of French women do now shave though) but I liked the idea that they go all natural. I thought “hey it grows for a reason, why should I shave? If I’m going to shave my legs and vagina, I might as well shave my eyebrows and head.”
