We all have our preferences, but sometimes expressing them can lead to unexpected consequences. A young man (22) found himself in hot water after making a sarcastic remark about his girlfriend’s (23) unshaved legs. The couple had been together for two years, and while he claims to love her for who she is, he admits to preferring smooth, silky skin. But when his girlfriend mentioned wanting to shave her legs during a shared shower, his sarcastic response left her in tears.
