He's not trying to like control her or demand that she has body hair, he's just not really comfortable with helping her with basic grooming, which you can probably make some bones about due to her being disabled but ultimately it really isn't his responsibility to ensure she takes care of herself hygienically

She's not a child

Adults are entitled to whatever beauty standards make them feel happy and dignified in their own body. (Yes, within limits, if she wears a tank top and works in food prep, she should wear underarm hair nets). Even if they can't see it, even if he finds something problematic in the history of women's razors, I don't care.

If a partner cannot do something reasonable to assist in this, that's not a good partner. That or a shaved mons should be an unqualified deal breaker for him.

His decision is pretty unilateral.

They are, and nobody is saying they aren't. However, there's a very big difference between demanding that she not shave her underarms and being expected to shave them for her, even if she would have difficulty doing so herself. Acting like he's trying to control how she looks because he doesn't want to be pressured into doing something he's not comfortable with is silly. Again, she's not a child, and while the details of her beauty standards are absolutely her business, they're also her business, and she can reasonably be expected to make arrangements for them herself.

This woman is blind, not helpless. She'll probably miss a few hairs downstairs if she shaves herself, but it's not by any means impossible. Why do goons hate self-sufficiency so much?

I married a blind woman. She never asked for help with personal hygiene, and she was happy to spend money on hairdressers etc to look good otherwise.

The girl's just being a bit weird, and possibly has picked up an odd habit from living previously with her folks.

Also, I honestly can't tell if people are being sarcastic or not about 'touching your partners genitals'. It's personal hygiene, it's about as sexy as wiping your butt.

I was kidding, but it's certainly not the same as wiping a butt. Lots of people enjoy grooming their partners. It's probably the primate in us. Lots of people enjoy pimple popping too.

When my wife was 36 weeks pregnant she asked me to help her touch up a bit down there just because she'd knew there'd be so many people rooting around her vagina she wanted to be at least a little neat.

Because my life isn't a r/relationship post, we had an honest and open discussion about how I wasn't really comfortable with it because I was worried about nicking/cutting her in a bad spot and hurting her unnecessarily, and how there was a good chance it was going to happen since I wasn't as familiar with the topography as she was. Ultimately she agreed, and we compromised by having her do it herself but I'd be close by to help out if there were any hard to reach spots. Everything came out fine and there was no drama because we are a functional couple who know how to communicate and be respectful of each other's feelings god dammit reddit it's not hard.

Shaving isn't hygienic, it's just a grooming preference. It's actually worse for health and that's before you get into the possibility of lopping off your labia.

Also tbh I'm kind of awestruck he/they are so awkward that he hates it instead of just making it sexy or at least intimate and loving.

Most of those explicitly say not to use near your genitals.

Heck I think someone found a story of a guy asking if he was an rear end in a top hat for calling an ambulance because his GF had bad chemical burns on her labia from using Nair to get rid of her pubes.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

the way she talks about their relationship and how they met and how they've been through so much in the.... drumroll... seven months theyve been together

thats the biggest flag but drat near every beat of her story sounds like they're either late teens or in their first relationship

I have shaved my pits dry and I usually am not looking when I do it, I agree, it should be no problem, I've also never lived life as a blind person who has been told by parents, teachers, doctors, "stop! you can't do _____, you'll hurt yourself!"

If he had a better rationale that she could understand, fine work it out among yourselves, but the only part he was honest about is basically because your intimate parts embarrass me which is a weird as poo poo thing [redditor as gently caress] to say to your partner

I can understand the guy not really wanting to shave his girlfriend, even though I think he's being kind of silly. But I don't blame her for asking him because having to pay to get waxed regularly gets pretty expensive and it makes sense she would be more comfortable with her partner doing it instead of a stranger. Also I'm somewhat hesitant in believing his claim that he really doesn't care if she has body hair or not, considering up to this point it sounds like she's been waxing. Let's see what he says a few weeks down the road.

Nair doesn't work for some people in general, like my skin starts coming off before my hair does. That's not good. Without looking, you also wouldn't really be able to tell if it's working or what.

Yes, disabled people have difficulty doing a lot of things that able-bodied people take for granted. Not really sure where fault comes into it.

Kinda? It definitely makes it lighter but hormonal changes can make some of it come back but it definitely makes the hair lighter and less of it.

Everyone that I know that does it swears by it and it’s much better vs waxing / shaving.

One girl I knew even right before the session the hair wasn’t even that bad.

Legally they have to say it's permanent reduction, not permanent removal.

I got it and I'm happy with it, but there are a few stragglers, missed spots, regrowth, so you still have to shave to be 100% hairless.

AITA for telling my blind girlfriend that I won't help her groom anymore?

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a couple of years now. We moved in 8 months ago. First off, I don't care if she has body hair or not. She's very beautiful amd I love her. It's her preference.

Recently, she's been asking me to help her groom her underarms and pubes. I'm really embarrassed when I do this. I asked her what she did before, and she told me that she had to go to a professional to get it waxed. She said it was expensive and she is too embarrassed to let others do it. I get it. But I find it really awkward and embarrassing.

So, I told her that I won't be helping her with grooming anymore and I don't mind body hair. She got really upset and cried because I'm not being supportive. AITA here?

While on one hand I don't fault him for not wanting to help his girlfriend shave, it's really weird and stupid that his only reasoning is it's so terribly awkward and so obscenely embarrassing that he can't possibly do it anymore. It's just really weak, kind of lovely, and borderline childish, as if he's a scared teenage boy. It's like, uh, why should she ever trust him in a loving, trusting relationship if he goes back on a promise and suddenly decides it's too awkward and embarrassing to help her with her needs? It's not about him and his lame rear end. It's about her.
