and wishes that she could also stop, but she doesn't think her husband would accept it
This was always one of the thornier aspects of the whole shaving dialogue for me. One of my friends was shocked when I told her I didn't wax my pubic areas because "what if the person you're sleeping with doesn't like it?" It raises interesting questions about relationships, compromise, and how much say your partner should have over your body when your lives are so intertwined. I'm on the "none" side of things, but I can also see how body hair may be a battle someone doesn't want to fight, either because they don't care or it's just not worth it.
I've gone through shaving ups and downs over the years, but at present I am settled into a hairy fall/winter, shaved spring/summer cycle.
