PCOS and Laser hair removal

Ladies,

I have teetered on the idea of laser hair removal for some time. I have been married for just about 10 yrs and we have been together for 14 yrs. I have mentioned to him before that I would like to get laser hair removal. I finally took the step and scheduled a consultation. The place offers a one time amount that can be made in payments. After the amount had been paid you get unlimited sessions for the rest of your life at no extra cost. I spoke with my husband the day before the consultation. He had said he wasnt against it but he also didnt like that it would be close to 10k spent over the timeframe for the payments. I went to the consultation and I signed up for it. I suffer from PCOS since I was 16...I'm almost 30. I have been with the man since I was diagnosed and he has been with me through all the hardships I have faced. From changing through different BC and stopping BC all together. To the weight gain and excessive hair growth and dark hair. I hate that I grow a beard and mustache. I hate that he pointed out that I have hair on my lower back. I hate that I now have dark hair all over my stomach. I hate the hair. Shaving it makes me feel worse. Because now I have the roughness of shaving and the irritation to go with it. I signed up for this because I researched and normally you pay per session. They only time you dont pay is if you dont go or stop going all together. This place offers unlimited sessions and touch ups for the rest of my life or they go out of business after a set amount is paid.

I was so happy after signing up and setting up my first appointments. I decided to get a full body one because it was 150$ cheaper per payment to just get a full body then adding up just the "problem areas". I told my husband and now he is angry. I dont think he will talk to me or even sleep in the same room as me for quite awhile.

I did this for me. I did this because I hate that I cant have the light colored thin soft hair like normal women. I hate that I have PCOS and it ruined(s) so many things in my life. I feel horrible because he is so angry, but I just dont want to not do this. I want to feel good about myself and not hate looking in the mirror or feeling the course hair on my chin getting caught in my work shirt. Just reminding me that I'm disgusting and I have a beard.

Ladies, did I do this for the wrong reasons? Should I attempt to cancel everything and make my husband happy? I'm struggling with should I feel happy to look at myself or just keep the home life happy.

Any advice will be appreciated. Whether it's what I personally want to hear or not. I feel bad that I upset him and I also dont feel bad at all. It's just hard.

Thank you
