Has anyone slacked...

In an effort to move this dreadfully slow board, i'll post a question.

Has anyone slacked on personal grooming ever since becoming extra comfortable around FH? (ex: waxing, etc). Does anyone keep up with all the same things that they used to during the honeymoon phase???

Re: Has anyone slacked...

Actually, no. I feel like I have to shave more than ever 'just in case'

I did slack in the looks department though. I gain a bunch of weight when we first started going out...thankfully I lost it and then some!

Re: Has anyone slacked...

The only thing I probably do is dont wear makeup and i do not get dressed up.

It is getting so boring on the boards!!!!!

Re: Has anyone slacked...

the reason I thought of this question is because I wore dress pants today and at one point in the day I crossed my legs and one of the pants legs went up and exposed my horrible leg hair!

I don't see FH every day so I must admit that I slack during the week and once in a blue when I see him. shaving legs, arm pits, and bikini waxes..how can i keep up with it all!!! lol

Re: Has anyone slacked...

I gained some weight, but in other areas I'm all hyper sensitive also 'just in case' with FH.... you never know It's like a big surprise all the time!

So in other areas I'm making an effort. I have like six (6!) medications from my dermatologist... damn roseacea.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

I definitely wear less make up and get dressed up less frequently.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

First, thanks for the effort in asking questions Goldie!!!

I don't think I slack. Like colleen said, I do it more often bc 'just in case' type of thing.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

Yeah, I slack. We've lived together for over 2 years and he's pretty much seen and heard it all. I threw my back out for 6 weeks once and was unable to shave my legs without being in excruciating pain....so I just let it grow free and wild. It was quite the sight but he didn't flinch and no problem doing naughty things (fun being incapacitated sometimes ). Not that I make it a common habit, but once in a blue I do get lazy. Like everyone said, you wanna be nice and ready just in case.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

Yea definitely i've slacked. . I've been with him over 6 years now! There are definitely weekends where i see him and i just wanna relax and i'm in a tracksuit w/ no makeup Plus its nice to feel comfortable around the person you're about to spend the rest of your life with no matter what state you are in! ;)

Re: Has anyone slacked...

Yes, I've been slacking
1. Gain weight now I'm back in the gym.
2. Not getting my hair done. I use to live in the beauty salon every two week, now my hair is in a ponytail.
3. Nails and feet, I think I wait almost a month to do them. And I have a pretty ring and I don't do my nails.

I am a mess, I need a 12 step program for slacking.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

yea, i slack...i only see him two nights a week and on sunday (while he plays football..) so there isnt much of a need, its sad...
At this point after living together and him having to take care of me when I was sick (that stupid flu i had for 2 weeks this past winter...breaking my neck playing soccer 2 years ago...) he has pretty much seen it all when it comes to me. Especially after my neck injury I couldnt look down or anything for about 3 months, lets just say I had ugly man legs and he was dealing with it like a trooper.

Re: Has anyone slacked...

i definitely slacked off. we have been together for 8 years & living together almost 3 years. my leg hair grows every time i get the chills which means if i shave in the morning & the train is cold you could barely tell i shaved. i have also gained weight since living together but that is all his fault. he is the cook & since he doesn't gain any weight he doesn't cook healthy at all.
