You have to decide how you will respond. You could view it in terms of reciprocity. If she makes a demand that you change some aspect of your physical appearance, you could demand that she make a comparable change to her appearance. That might get her to understand it in a more sympathetic light. Whether you do that or not, you could just explain to her that it's your beard and it's important to you to keep it during the summer. Beards are not incompatible with summer and they are still allowed in any season. Good luck to you! She can demand it, sure. You have to decide how you will respond.

Or how can i convince her its ok even though it is summer? My wife just “asked” (Demanded!) me to shave my goatee and chain curtain because it’s almost summer, is this right? ethical?

I'll never do that again. Even in the Summer, it shades me from the sun and helps keep me cooler. The people who try to get me to shave because of the heat think I'm nuts.

If you have a stray whisker, use a pair of scisors. Steve B, Your trimmers are holding you back … throw them out … go natural. If you have a stray whisker, use a pair of scisors.

I had a goatee for about a year, grew in the rest over the summer.. then even MORE foolishly shaved it right before x-mas, in the dead of cold season :( I got right down to business and I have commenced re-bearding immediately. Thought my old trimmer was going tits-up last night but it might be fine.. bought a new trimmer that sucks so I'm taking the piece of crud right back.

I'm glad you decided to grow a full beard. But, I wanted to let you know that I once had mutton chops while I was in High School, even though it was illegal in my school to ahve them. I didn't care what anyone said about my chops, so if you want to keep them, keep them! Do you what you want and not what anyone else wants. It's for your face and your face only! :D Bravo, Mike! I’m glad you decided to grow a full beard.
