My BF asked me to shave my legs

Ugh those moms were bitches.

If he hasn't said anything for over a year maybe it's actually the weight you gained that bothers him. It makes no sense dating someone and then asking them to change. Idk. Ask him if this bothered him from the very beginning, or only recently.

I don't really think it's healthy, though, to put so much value of empowerment onto hair, to be honest. Like I have a friend who has small but still visible hairs on her chest/boobs/arms but nobody ever said something rude to her about it. Not that big of a deal.

But I think hair shouldn't be part of your strength/identity. Cutting it doesn't make you less empowered, unless in your mind you directly associate it that way, which to me is weird.
