My Husband Mocked My Facial Hair After 20 Years of Marriage—Then Our Two Sons Taught Him What Respect Really Means

Everything felt ordinary.

Until I leaned over to kiss my husband.

Wade pulled his face away.

“Ugh, Maren. Not with that mustache.”

The kitchen went silent.

I instinctively touched my upper lip. There were a few fine hairs there, something I’d become more aware of as I’d gotten older.

Wade made a face.

“It’s disgusting.”

“Dad,” Graham said sharply.

But Wade continued.

“When we first started dating, you actually cared about looking nice for me.”

Heat rushed into my cheeks. I wanted to say something cutting, but instead, I stood there holding the coffee pot.

“Wade, that was hurtful.”

He sighed.

“Don’t be so sensitive. I’m your husband. I should be able to tell you these things.”

Tobin pushed his plate away.

“There’s a difference between telling someone something and being mean.”

Wade glared at him.

“Stay out of it.”

Then he turned back to me.
